East side people will tell you they never need to cross the island for food, and honestly they have a point. These 36 guides cover the estates where most of us actually eat on a weeknight – Joo Chiat and Katong, Tampines, Pasir Ris, Serangoon, Punggol, Bishan, Toa Payoh, Paya Lebar, and up north through Yishun and Woodlands. Hawker centres, coffee shops, the zi char place everyone in the block already knows, and the cafes that opened when the neighbourhood changed. Each guide stays in one area, with addresses and what to order. If you stay nearby, treat it as a list of things you have been walking past for years. If not, plan the trip and go hungry.
