Our take: Boh Geh Uncle Canteen offers a distinct step back in time, with many reviewers highlighting its nostalgic, somewhat rundown charm.

We note a consistent recommendation for the Malay stall, specifically its Nasi Lemak, praised for its pandan fragrance and coconut blend, and the tender beef rendang.

The Nasi Lemak is priced at $5, with an option to add sambal fish cake.

While some find the Nasi Lemak's taste to be 'normal' and the rice colour artificial, the overall sentiment leans positive for its affordability and unique atmosphere.

We also observe a peculiar house rule: no photos or videos are allowed, with warnings of being 'scolded' by the auntie.

This adds to the canteen's old-school character but might be a point of contention for some.

The canteen is often frequented by cyclists in the Seletar area, making it a convenient stop for a takeaway.

We'd recommend Boh Geh Uncle Canteen for those seeking a nostalgic dining experience and a taste of the Malay stall's offerings, particularly the Nasi Lemak and beef rendang, provided you respect the no-photo policy.

What customers say

Boh Geh Uncle Canteen is praised for its nostalgic, rustic ambiance and affordable prices, particularly the Malay stall's offerings.

Customers frequently highlight the Nasi Lemak for its pandan fragrance and coconut blend, and the super tender beef rendang.

However, some find the Nasi Lemak's color artificial and the coffee bland, while the canteen's cleanliness is noted as acceptable but not pristine.

A unique aspect is the strict no-photos policy enforced by staff.

I gave all 5 stars due to personal preference. Place is nostalgic, not very clean, but acceptable, as it should be. Surprisingly no houseflies around, unlike Malaysia Kampong coffeeshop. 2 thumbs up…

Nasi Lemak $5 (add sambal fish cake). Standard pricing, taste normal. Colour of Nasi looks very artificial. Coffee taste bland.

Would drop by to takeaway if I am cycling in Seletar. Nostalgia feeling, a bit rundown. There is Chinese and Malay stall. The sardine curry puff not bad.
