Really good authentic family-run Peranakan (Chinese Malay fusion) restaurant. Prices are very reasonable at SGD 16/person for 3 dishes, a drink and dessert. My default place to eat when I'm lazy.

I personally think this chicken rice restaurant is just as good as Tian Tian and most locals will tell you that this is one of the top places for chicken rice. Most expats and tourists don't know this

Mediocre chicken rice, but this is one of the most famous because it is a chain. Full of tourists. I would skip this and go to Wee Nam Kee instead.

Awesome fish soup and hands-down the best in Novena. This is a small local eatery, so plan on sweating bullets (no aircon) and sitting next to someone you don't know ;)
