On Sixth Avenue, not exactly mouthwatering but quick and decently priced. 4 people can have a hearty meal for S$24, or if you go the noodle/fried rice route, just S$16. Steer clear of the hot-plate deer meat, though.
The great drawcard is the drinks stall beside it, providing consistently unbeatable miloais and tehais for S$1 or less. The other big plus is the diversity of the other stalls around Xiang Wei: Sixth Avenue Nasi Briyani (real finger lickin’ Indian fried chicken goodness for S$3.50), You Peng (a PRC dumpling stall, 10 xiaolongbaos (soup dumplings) for just S$6), Canadian 2-for-1 Pizza and Pizza da Donato (tiramisu! calzoni!) across the road. Guaranteed to please everyone.
(There’s also the celebrated Brazil Churrascaria, but that, you can’t bring food in/out of.)
Parking is always a problem, but if you leave your car across the road there’s the Venezia gelato parlour and/or the Cold Storage Gourmet to browse through before heading home. Also, a The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf outlet (but I don’t really think much of them).
Xiang Wei has a takeaway menu if you’re in a rush: +65 6875 1847. They close at 11pm.
