Ya lor.. no famous food in Teck Whye. Got slightly above average only. The “middle” coffee shop has long queues for fishball noodles etc. coz it is cheap and large portion and the Chinese vegetarian. I suspect the coffee shop is owned by the boss and thus, prices can be kept low and in the evening, you can see him drinking 1-3 cans of Carlsberg at the seats with the shutters down.
The coffee shop near 4 fingers, 10-15 years ago had a small Tze char is decent for the price but after the stall owner pass away, the spouse could not continue. Had a Reno after that was closed for sometime due to stall/ table placement disputes and now it’s an integrated stall with noodles and rice etc. in its latest incarnation. Have not tried and does not look convincing yet to me.
The Wen jiang chicken rice near maccas is nice but expensive, you get what you pay for.
The BKT/claypot rice stall near NTUC around for a long time. Use to like the dry prawn noodles near the outlet near the temple/ntuc. Now not easy to get table, so din eat in sometime.
A few of the Indian Muslims stalls (about 2 at the Center) changed ownership a a few times. Some owners Prata is decent, some so so only.
the Malay Muslim stall near maccas is decent. Recently there is a noodle store there that has fish slice soup that is ok la..
