Our take: Happy Hawkers Coffeeshop presents a mixed bag of culinary experiences, with some stalls shining brighter than others.

The standout appears to be Basil King, which, despite its long queues (up to 1.5 hours reported), garners high praise for its fresh, tasty meat and customizable spice levels.

The $6.90 Thai basil chicken with a semi-cooked sunny-side up egg is frequently highlighted as a worthwhile wait.

Conversely, the noodle stalls, particularly Mian Ba, receive consistent criticism for small portions and lacklustre flavour, with one reviewer noting a $5 laksa with minimal ingredients and a gravy that 'didn't soak up' the beehoon.

The FAM roast stall is also mentioned positively for its variety and reasonable prices.

We note operational issues with the payment system at the snacks section, which can lead to unnecessary queues.

Overall, while there are some strong contenders, the quality across stalls is inconsistent.

We'd recommend heading straight for Basil King if you're prepared for a significant wait; otherwise, consider other options in the area.

This eatery was just renovated. It doesnt makes sense to join the long long queue at the snacks section just to pay to eat mee rebus/mee siam when you are not buying any small snacks. You can see the…
