Broadway Coffee Shop 261 Serangoon Central

We note that cleanliness is a recurring issue, with multiple reports of dirty tables and a lack of staff to clear them.

If you're particular about hygiene, bringing your own wipes might be a good idea.

Among the standout options, the handmade meat dumplings (小笼包, 红油饺子) from the China food stall are frequently praised for being "super yummy and juicy" and affordable.

Other recommended dishes include the braised duck noodles, kway chap, and the $1.20 Kopi O for its "gao-ness." However, several stalls receive mixed or negative reviews, such as the zhi char for its poor service and mediocre food, and the obba jjajang express for its high price point ($10) relative to its quality.

The American Ginseng Sliced Fish Soup at $7.50 is also noted for its lack of ginseng and normal taste.

We'd recommend focusing on the highly-rated individual dishes rather than expecting a consistently good experience across all stalls.

Verdict: Best for a quick, affordable meal if you know which specific stalls to target, but be prepared for self-service and potentially dirty tables.
