Zion Riverside Food Centre - 70 Zion Rd

$5 char kway teow... worth the wait as uncle fried individual plate and not mass produce. The cockle is big n fresh

Nice small hawker center by the river. Sell the usual local delights. Think most popular stall is the fried kway teow at the corner. Other then that the only other stall i tried was the western food. Prawn noodle stall is expensive at minimum $8 . I come here only cause the busker group, the ETC, perform here on weekend and they do sing pretty good.

Nice and clean hawker Centre with many different dishes to choose at good prices. Open air and breezy next to the river

This is definitely one the best less known to tourist hawkers in Singapore. Despite it being a Saturday, it was surprisingly quite empty. Weather was extremely hot but the hawker was well ventilated with many fans. There are many popular and award winning stalls here. Do note that quite a few stalls may be closed for lunch (I assume some are early morning stalls) but thankfully the ones I wanted to try were available. The options we went for 2 pax - char kway teow, duck rice and prawn noodles. All were very good. For someone who doesn’t quite eat char kway teow, this was extremely addictive. There was a nice char and the each mouthful has a generous amount of egg in it which made it very satisfying. Overall very pleased with the visit. Obviously there’s a lot of carbs in this meal so definitely not something I would have daily but an enjoyable occasional cheat meal.

Finally visited this hidden gem tucked beside Great World, by the river. Was researching what to eat here and was recommended to mainly the Char kway tiao, duck rice, prawn noodles and carrot cake. I have reviewed them separately in their own listing, adding a brief summary here for ease of reference: Char Kway Tiao - 5 ⭐️- One of the cleanest ones I have ever eaten, not oily at all and still taste/smell as great Duck rice - 4 ⭐️- Superbly fragrant rice, the remaining of which was good and not outstanding

Having my lunch @ Zion Riverside Food Centre. Having “white style” fried white carrot cake (Choy Tau Kou or Lor Pak Kou in Cantonese). Unfortunately, in Singapore this means a crispy styled preparation. If I want the texture akin to that we find in KL, I need to go with the “black style”. For me, I dislike it as the “black” comes from the use of “kicap manis” (sweet thick soy sauce) and I prefer my food savoury rather than sweet. So no win situation when having this dish in Singapore. I only order this food item at this one stall in Zion Road called “Lou Goh”. The proprietor is hard of hearing and usually reads lips to understand the order. In these Covid times, with masks on, he needs another helper to take the orders for him. Kudos to him for persevering and conquering the challenges placed before him. It’s a decent if not exactly very tasty plate but I feel his efforts are worth supporting and the food good enough to have a simple meal. Support our local hawkers!!! @whiskydev

Quite a clean and well maintained food court, except for the automated kitchenware collection system which continuously makes loud noise when the plates and cutlery drop. Tasted the famous big prawn noodles, the broth is great, definitely worth a try, I hope I could have more soup! However, you need to expect a 30-45 mins queue during dinner hours, unless you reach after 8pm. Ordered the mix fried carrot cake (white and black). Expect to wait for 20 mins too. Personally I feel it's average, not a woah for me.

After searching for a good place to have prawn noodles, I zeroed in on Zion food center. However, when I reached there, the first stall I spotted was the fishball noodles. I switched to that. It was okay but nothing memorable. The desert was similar. Colorful but not flavourful.
