Steamed rice cake stall topping chwee kueh with fragrant chai poh and chilli.
Bedok Chwee Kueh at Lorong Ah Soo carries the torch for one of Singapore's simplest and most beloved breakfast dishes, serving silken steamed rice cakes topped with a savoury-sweet preserved radish relish. The stall is known for its chai poh, fried with garlic and sesame oil until deeply fragrant, elevating the otherwise plain rice cake into something genuinely crave-worthy.
Each portion comes with a side of sambal chilli for those who like a kick of heat alongside the mild, comforting kueh. Available for dine-in and takeaway. It is a breakfast institution that draws early risers and anyone who believes the best morning meals are the unassuming ones.
Wake up early and head to Bedok Chwee Kueh in the North East for a plate that proves simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Part of the North East Eats guide, it is old-school breakfast at its finest.
