Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Jin Biao Coffee Shop in Toa Payoh is a bustling hawker centre known for its diverse food offerings and reasonable prices.

We've noted several stalls that consistently receive high praise, including Uncle Yap's Macpherson Bak Chor Mee, which has maintained its quality since relocating here.

The Wanton Mee and Uncle Sim's Mee Siam, Mee Rebus, and Lontong are also frequently highlighted as must-tries.

For those seeking vegetarian options, the vegetarian stall offers a generous and nostalgic breakfast set with items like mock char siew and crispy zai-er.

The economical bee hoon stall is another popular choice, offering a wide array of sides from fried chicken wings to Taiwan sausage.

While the variety is a major draw, be prepared for potential queues, especially for the more popular stalls.

We think this is a solid choice for a varied and affordable breakfast or lunch, particularly if you're in the Potong Pasir area.

Tried the Tong Luo Wan stall which sells different charcoal roast meat stall. The Dang Gui Roast Duck has a nice herbal flavour to it, but not too over powering. Not bad 👌
