Welcome to Braddell.

Friendly store owners! Nicer when hot, feels a little greasy but not heavy. $14 for 12 muffins.

Friendly uncle likes to give free muffins

Baked fresh, these muffins taste better than they look! Can't rmb the flavours as the stall owner helped us to mix and match based on availability. Love the charred ends! The queue was about half-an-hour wait, and the stall uncle kindly came to offer us some muffins.

Went down for their wonderful braise and they also sell pig organ soup ($3.50) which was very nicely flavoured with the pork ingredients and the salted vegetables! Love how the pig liver is not overcooked and really fresh. Definitely something I will crave on a rainy day! Will be back 😍

If you are craving some good homely kway chap, this is one good place to go for.

We had a variety of braised ingredients to share, and they were all really good! What I find unique about this stall is that they have 3 different kinds of intestines, ranging from the small ones to the big fatty ones and even pig's tongue! Most kway chap stalls don't have these. The innards were all very clean and had little to no odour. The braise itself isn't overly salty and yet flavourful, making this a very well balanced yet hearty dish! Love that the noodles also still have a bite to them. Pricing is really affordable as well, at $3.60 per portion.

got burpple 1 for 1 for this!! taste so good!! worth buying even without the 1 for 1!

Specialist of the white version, this stall has been serving for over 70 years ever since husband-wife team Tay Hoe Seng and Ng Sock Cheng started making their own carrot cake.
.
Their daughters and 2nd generation owners still handmake the carrot cake, their painstaking efforts recognised with consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards.
.
Reowned for their flat but super crisp rendition, the (open) secret here is their special chili, which really makes the dish stand out.
.
Beautifully fried, albeit more oily than elsewhere, you get lovely smoky savoury sweet spicy flavours in each bite.

Head down to this locally owned bubble tea shop, Tea Dojo, located at 107 Toa Payoh Lorong 1 for your usual iced cold cup of boba tea! Just a stone's throw away from Braddell MRT, the shop features an exciting range of signature drinks like Boba Grape Yoghurt ($6.30), Phoenix Oolong Lemon Tea ($5.30), Super Chestnut Snow ($5.80) and more! Customise your drink with various toppings such as Pearls, Brown Sugar Jelly, Tea Jelly, Taro Balls and many more -- at only $1 each!

We ended off our meal with beancurd from Pure Soya Bean, which was a stall near the middle of the second level run by two fairly-young hawkers! We paid $2.50 for a bowl of beancurd with gingko nuts and we love their beancurd as it was served warm and the texture was fairly soft. Most importantly, you can taste the soybean in their beancurd as the sugar syrup used wasn't too overpowering. :)

While the serving size was really generous, we felt that the gingko nuts were a little hard and quite a few of them were rather bitter. We might get the beancurd with another topping again in future!

This was one of the stalls that appeared to have no queue but when you place your orders, the auntie tells you that there is a one-hour wait! 😱😱😱 The wait is well worth it, however, as Chye Sua serves an amazing plate of carrot cake! The stall only serves the white version of carrot cake, and the dish comes with white carrot cake on the underside, which are stuck together by a layer of deep-fried egg and flour on the upper side that makes the dish look more black than white!

Don't be mistaken, however, as the layer of flour and egg was really crispy and comes with a slightly burnt flavour which we really love! The chilli is in this layer, so it can get a little spicy after a while. Hence, we suggest you alternate between this layer and the carrot cake underneath, as the carrot cake could get pretty plain if you eat it alone without the deep-fried surface later!

We also love the carrot cake as the cubes of radish remained soft after frying, although we were surprised that their shape remained fairly intact as well. We will definitely want to try this again although the queue will definitely be a deterrence on most occasions!

We saw a fairly decent queue at Teochew Handmade Paus and decided to give it a try since everyone loves paus for breakfast! One thing to note is that the paus served here are really small; they can be finished in around four mouthfuls so this is something to take note of if you are planning to buy from this shop.

We ordered two char siew, two tau sar and two lianrong paus to try! The pork filling used for the char siew pau was rather lean and there were few fatty parts in it. However, we thought it wasn't exceptionally yummy because we felt that the meat was a little too shredded, which made for a strange texture for a pau filling.

The Tau sar and lianrong paus were great though, because the red bean and lotus paste fillings respectively were very smooth and they were pretty concentrated as well! We love the pronounced flavours within the filling of both paus!

Each pau is priced at 90 cents, which is honestly pretty expensive given it's small size. That being said, we may want to come back for the tau sar and lianrong paus again!
