Bugis food guide
Bugis is both a shopper and foodie’s haven. Not only are there boutiques and malls all around the area, there are plenty of eateries to stop by between shopping sprees—from hawkers, cafes, restaurants at Bugis+ and Bugis Junction, and even more options at Haji Lane, here are some of our favourite Bugis food places for you to check out.
Southeast Asian food—Thai, Indonesian, Singaporean, Vietnamese
1. Eleven Finger
Look no further than Eleven Finger for a hearty plate of curry rice! There’s an interesting story behind the name of this stall. Turns out, the owner of Eleven Finger has an extra finger! One meat and vegetable costs $3, while a small add-on such as an egg would cost $0.50 extra. Some recommended ingredients include Chap Chye, Tau Pok, Curry Chicken, Fried Egg and Braised Pork Belly. Come early if you’re hungry because queues start forming even before the store opens for business.

2. Mrs Pho
Get transported to the streets of Hanoi at Mrs Pho, a hidden gem of a Vietnamese joint. A bowl of Sliced Beef and Brisket Pho ($10.80++) is served piping hot, with tender beef slices and brisket simmering in a wholesome, flavourful broth. If you’re looking to grab a small bite, try sides such as Mamma’s Lucky Meat Balls ($3.80++), skewered meatballs marinated in a delightful sauce. It also comes with a peanut dip, although you might be too busy savouring the meatballs to try it. Another alternative would be their Fresh Summer Roll ($5.80++), fresh spring rolls stuffed with vermicelli, pork, prawns and lettuce.

3. IndoBowl
Image credit: @indobowlofficial
IndoBowl, Singapore’s first Indomie-themed cafe, gets what this well-loved instant noodle brand is all about. Most of us have spent many a night slurping down a pack (or two) of Indomie for a guilty supper, but IndoBowl ups the sinful factor with their mammoth Indomie Mumbo Jumbo ($55.31++). The platter grabs the spotlight with a mountain of kecap manis-glazed noodles before delivering the knockout punch with its assortment of grilled meat. Consider your Indomie dreams fulfilled with this impressive set.

4. Say Seng Cooked Food
Image credit: @followlin
Grab a quick meal at Albert Centre Food Centre and you’ll notice an unmistakable queue snaking around Say Seng Cooked Food. The hands behind this old-school eatery are tirelessly working during lunch hours, chopping down slab after slab of braised pork belly with methodical precision. For $10.50, a meal set comes with Lor Bak, Pig’s Organ Soup and a bowl of rice. This meal is sure to fill you up.

5. New Rong Liang Ge
Image credit: @aiohpue
New Rong Liang Ge not only stands as one of Singapore’s best spots for sio bak, but also one of the most affordable as well. A plate of Char Siew Rice only sets you back $3.50 here while their Char Siew & Roasted Pork Rice is priced at $4.50. If these cheap dishes don’t give your dollar a good stretch, their selection of double-boiled soups surely does the trick. Priced as low as $2.50, these warm bowls of soup taste best on a rainy day.

6. PerghChicks
Previously a pasar malam stall, PerghChicks has since opened a permanent store at Haji Lane. This restaurant specialises in ayam percik, which is a rare find in Singapore. Their Nasi Kukus Volcano (from $12.50+) is great for those with a penchant for spice. This dish features a turmeric-infused chicken covered in a dense gravy, and a side of spicy sambal. Another must-try is their Percik Wings ($20+ for 6 pieces), which features a special house-made percik sauce that includes coconut cream, cashew nuts and more.

Chin Chin Eating House is one of the oldest restaurants in Singapore. Here, they specialise in Hainanese chicken rice. A set of chicken rice costs $6 and comes with your preferred chicken parts and a warm bowl of chicken broth. Their kampong chicken meat is known for being tender and juicy, so we recommend getting their Half Chicken ($18) or Whole Chicken ($36) to share with your family or friends.

Their Co Hai Baguette ($12) is made using house-baked bread and includes BBQ pork, ham, pork floss pate, and pickled vegetables. You can also try their Sliced Beef Noodle Soup ($10.80) for a rich broth simmered for more than 12 hours. If you prefer rice to noods, opt for their Rice With BBQ Pork Chop, Egg Meatloaf & Sunny-Side-Up ($13.50) instead.

This new “sister outlet” serves wallet-friendly zi-char dishes, including their signature Salted Egg Pork Rice ($8.50) which features chunky pieces of pork chop coated in the buttery, decadent sauce.

10. Man Man Japanese Unagi Restaurant
Unagi lovers should definitely not miss out on Michelin Bib Gourmand awardee Man Man Japanese Unagi Restaurant. Fresh eel is grilled right before your very eyes, so you can be sure this place takes pride in its quality servings. We tried their Hitsumabushi ($29.50+), which consisted of smoky unagi marinated in salty-sweet tare arranged atop plump Japanese short-grain rice. Apart from rice bowls, Man Man also offers Umaki ($14.10+), pillowy pan-fried, rolled egg with a slice of unagi wrapped in its core. What sets the egg apart from regular tamago is that it’s actually more savoury than sweet!

Chunks of juicy beef are seared and torched before they are served, and you get to see how they are flambéed. Pork belly lovers can also opt for their Duroc Pork Belly ($20.90++), a spicy dish with bits of seaweed that help to zhng up the savoury flavour.

Each set comes with five flavours: Mango, Mixed Berries, Strawberry, Yucha, and Original. A good pairing with your rice wine would be the Wagyu Kimchi Fried Rice ($28++), which features Wagyu slices and sous vide egg, or Kimchi Mac & Cheese ($18++).

Husk Nasi Lemak takes the coconut rice dish to a whole new level with their modern and fusion interpretation of the typical nasi lemak elements. The highlight of the Signature Chicken Cutlet Set ($10.80) is the crispy chicken cutlet, which features a juicy slab of thigh meat coated in a batter perfected in Taiwan. That same batter is used as a garnishing to add more crunch. Enjoy the ajitsuke tamago with their house-made sambal for a sweet and spicy kick. If you like your chicken grilled instead, opt for the Grilled Chicken Set ($10.80), which is inspired by Thailand’s grilled pork skewers. The chicken thigh is beautifully caramelised, thanks to the sweet marinade.

Pair their beer or sake with their signature Spicy Aburi Seafood Maki ($18.90+), which features a sushi roll crammed with torched salmon, prawn tempura, and crabstick. A dash of house-made chilli sauce caps off this kaleidoscopic treat, cutting through the richness of the seafood and the fizziness of the beer with its tangy bite.

There’s also the Pulut Sushi Rendang Padangton ($12.50++): yellow glutinous rice stuffed with beef rendang, and topped with fried grated coconut.

Alternatively, get their OG Burger ($14.40) if you prefer tender chicken thigh meat that is baked instead of fried. We also recommend getting their Masala Fries (from $4.80) to go with your burgers.

If you’re a waffle to pancake kinda foodie, give their Ham & Cheese Waffle ($22.90++) a shot. You get buttery waffles and ham drenched in hollandaise sauce, then topped with a fried egg as the final touch.

This eatery replaces pork bones that are usually used to make ramen broth with Wagyu beef bones, thereby creating a beef-flavoured “tonkotsu” broth with a distinct meaty aroma. We got tender pieces of beef chashu too, which was the highlight of the bowl due to the way the meat melts in your mouth.

The chef-owner, Mr Eddie Murakami, has experience working in Pizza Strada and Pizza Studio Tamaki, both of which are highly-respected pizza institutions in Japan. Murakami makes Tokyo-style Neapolitan pizza, where the crust is thinner and the firm elasticity of the pizza dough is retained.

The Pulled Beef Signature Bowl ($13) is a crowd-favourite here, with fragrant basmati rice served with slow-cooked pulled beef and fresh vegetables. The bowl is doused in a “secret white sauce” which reminds us of a blend of Greek yoghurt and mayonnaise. For a lighter option, taste the Chicken Pita Pocket ($7), which features chicken and shredded lettuce in a toasted pita. Portions here are generous, as pita bread is also offered as an accompaniment to the rice bowls.
