Anyone who works Tanjong Pagar will be familiar with Amoy Street Food Centre. It is where you can still find coffee at 80 cents, and a cheap meal from $3.50 onwards. Though the the disadvantage is the alfesco setting, dare to bear with the heat of the noonday, or do a takeway (tapao) and eat at your office pantry. In fact Amoy Street Food Center has become so popular that even Salad stalls have sprouted up at the center. Getting a salad at $5 onwards is quite a steal, given that most salad bars start from $9 onwards.
Indonesian Food
One of my favorite stalls at Amoy Steet Food Centre is the Indonesian Malay stall called Warung Parsanga. The stir fried vegetables is not overly cooked unlike many Malay stalls and the Malay Soya Sauce Chicken (Ayam Masak Kecap) is so good, it is almost a staple for me once a week.

Fishball Noodles
Recently I had a craving for fish ball noodle, a favorite local dish that can be eaten throughout the day from breakfast to supper. Have it Meepok (flat egg noodle) with chilli and you get to enjoy it authentic style. I thought my friends were kidding me when they said the stall Ah Ter Teochew Fish Ball had a cute hawker. And indeed he was quite an eye candy! You cannot dispute the way the noodles are cooked, it has perfectly bouncy fishballs and sauce that mixed to a perfect concoction. No wonder I always see queues every lunch time!
Duck Rice
One of the better places for duck rice is here at Amoy Food Centre. If you are into duck, the combination of soya sauce rice with egg and preserved vegetables topped off with black sauce and chilli sauce is a the best representation of a good duck rice one could taste in Singapore.
