The chefs’ experience, including training under Boon Tong Kee, shows in the precision of every plate.
6. Zhong Newton BBQ
Unit: #01-34
Opening Hours: 4 PM – 11 PM (Closed on Mondays)
Charcoal-grilled BBQ chicken wings are the main draw here, with smoky, crispy skin and juicy meat inside.

It’s a great spot for sharing platters with friends over a cold drink.
7. Aliff Nasi Lemak

Unit: #01-22
Opening Hours: 6:30 AM – 8:30 PM (Closed on Mondays)
This family-run stall serves both the sweet black and savory white versions of fried carrot cake.
