Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: San Chao Mei Shi is a well-regarded hawker stall, particularly noted for its carrot cake and char kway teow.

We see consistent praise for the carrot cake, with several reviewers highlighting the inclusion of prawns, which is a differentiating factor – the $6 carrot cake reportedly comes with three large prawns.

The fried oyster omelette also receives positive mentions.

While most feedback is positive, one reviewer noted inconsistency in the char kway teow depending on who cooks it, and found the carrot cake unremarkable.

However, the majority points to a 'well-fried' and 'not too oily' experience.

The owners are frequently described as friendly and attentive, even offering table service during busy periods.

We think this spot is a solid choice for a classic hawker fix, especially if you're in the Serangoon area.

Worth a try for the prawn-studded carrot cake, but be prepared for potential queues on weekends.

What customers say

三炒美食 San Chao Mei Shi receives high praise for its carrot cake, often highlighted for its generous portions including prawns and a good balance of flavors, especially when fried with chili.

The fried oyster omelette and Char Kway Teow (CKT) are also popular, with customers appreciating the owners' friendly service and willingness to serve food to tables.

However, there's a notable inconsistency in quality, with some customers finding the Char Kway Teow cooked by the auntie to be inferior to the uncle's, and the carrot cake not always impressing everyone.

You want a decent Char Kway Tiao, it has to be cooked by the uncle, the one by the auntie is a flop. Tried their carrot cake, frankly not worth mentioning.

CKT and carrot cake is their speciality. Very well fried. $6 carrot cake gets you 3 big prawns. And it's not that oily. Owners are very nice and they are 1 of the few stalls that serve the food to you…
