Opening Hours: 10 AM – 8:30 PM
Run by the founder’s son, this stall brings the finesse of Whampoa’s original outlet into Woodleigh. The Steamed Chicken Rice is silky and fragrant, supported by flavour-packed rice.

7. Penang Man
Unit: #01-04

Opening Hours: 8 AM – 8 PM
The only all-vegetarian stall in the centre, Origanics flips expectations with its meat-free takes on local classics.
