Healthcare facility planned for site of Ang Mo Kio Public Library after it moves to AMK Hub
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Possible future uses for the site could include a hospital, polyclinic, dental or medical clinic, veterinary clinic, nursing home or medical suite. SINGAPORE – The site of Ang Mo Kio Public Library is set to make way for a healthcare facility after the library moves to AMK Hub shopping mall in 2026. In response to queries from The Straits Times, a spokeswoman for Link Asset Management, which manages AMK Hub, said the library will be located on the fourth storey of the mall, without elaborating. Cathay Cineplexes was located on the fourth storey before it shuttered on June 30. The current site of Ang Mo Kio Public Library has been zoned for health and medical care use, under the Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA) Draft Master Plan 2025, which was unveiled on June 25. Possible future uses for the 5,300 sq m site in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 could include a hospital, polyclinic, dental or medical clinic, veterinary clinic, nursing home or medical suite. The National Library Board (NLB) announced the library's relocation in a Facebook post on July 1, adding that library users can look forward to immersive and interactive experiences in the new space. The Ang Mo Kio Public Library opened in 1985 and went through upgrading works in 2002 and 2019. Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic is situated next to the library. Ms Chantel Kismet, 37, said she would miss the comfort and familiarity the library brought, as she used to attend a primary and secondary school nearby and would spend her afternoons in the library.

It's a comfort being here, away from the hustle and bustle,' said Ms Kismet, who works as a doula (a non-medical professional who assists women during childbirth) and lives a 10-minute drive from the library. She said she takes her daughter, who is homeschooled, to the library every two weeks and would spend about an hour picking out books to borrow. 'It's become routine – we would visit the library and have chicken rice at the nearby coffee shop afterwards. I will miss this when the library moves,' she added. Library users told ST they were concerned about the potential crowds at the library's new space in AMK Hub in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, which is four bus stops away from its current site. Student Teo Wenhui, 18, said she enjoys going to the current library as she can usually find an available table to read or study. She noted that this may not be the case when the library moves to AMK Hub as the mall has high footfall. Mr Eugene Ho, 30, who works in food and beverage, said while he will miss the nostalgia of the current library, the new site in AMK Hub could be more convenient. 'Sometimes I just want to drop off some books and it can be a hassle to take the bus here from the MRT station,' he said. NLB said in its post that the library's new site in AMK Hub is conveniently linked to Ang Mo Kio MRT station and bus interchange. It will have tall wall bookshelves and design features inspired by the iconic landmarks of Ang Mo Kio. When ST visited AMK Hub on July 3, the fourth storey of the mall was cordoned off. A sign said the floor was closed for upgrading works. Housewife Ivy Loo, 49, said she hoped that another cinema operator would replace Cathay Cineplexes. 'My children are in their late teens and 20s. If we were to have a family outing, watching a movie would be preferred instead of going to a library,' she said. Other fourth-storey shops that have since closed include arcade operator Timezone and Western food chain Eighteen Chefs. Link Asset Management told ST in June that it will be reconfiguring the fourth-storey space and repositioning the mix of tenants to better serve the community. NLB did not provide more information when asked when the move would happen, as well as about potential disruptions to services at Ang Mo Kio Public Library as a result of the move. A listing by real estate firm ETC shows that a vacant food and beverage space for lease in the existing library has a lease term of until August 2026. Another standalone library that will be moving to a mall is Geylang East Public Library, which will be relocated to the refreshed Tanjong Katong Complex in 2030. Other public libraries located in malls include those in VivoCity in HarbourFront, Nex in Serangoon and White Sands in Pasir Ris.

New AMK Hub library will be more accessible but may be more crowded, library patrons say
SINGAPORE: Retiree Betty Goh visits Ang Mo Kio Public Library every morning from Monday to Friday. She lives two bus stops away and visits the library to read the newspapers and books as part of her daily routine. Come 2026, Ms Goh and other regular patrons of Ang Mo Kio Public Library will have to go to AMK Hub for their fix of books and a quiet, air-conditioned space. The National Library Board (NLB) confirmed on Jul 1 that the library branch will relocate next year. The 67-year-old told CNA that she had already heard rumours about the move before it was officially announced, adding that other regulars at the library had discussed it, too. 'I like it because it's not very crowded. There's always space to sit down and it's really nearby for me,' she told CNA in Mandarin, adding that she intends to continue going to the library every day after it relocates. 'We'll have to see how when it moves. Maybe it'll be smaller because it'll be in a mall, then there might not be a lot of space to sit.' In a Facebook post confirming the move, NLB did not disclose details such as the size of the relocated library, and said that further details would be provided when they are ready. The library opened in 1985, and was refurbished and reopened in 2003. Patrons, who mostly live in the area, said they have been going to the library for a long time. In its Facebook post, NLB said the mall's "convenient connection" to Ang Mo Kio MRT station and bus interchange would enhance the library's accessibility. 'Along with greater connectivity, patrons can look forward to enjoying a refreshed library experience at the new space,' the post read. The new library will see tall wall bookshelves and design features inspired by iconic Ang Mo Kio landmarks. Patrons can also look forward to new immersive and interactive experiences, NLB said in its post. Ang Mo Kio Public Library will continue to operate as usual at its current site at 4300 Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 until its relocation. At its current site, the two-storey library has about 50 tables that can be booked for use. There are also benches and single-seat sofas that patrons can use, as well as an activity room and a quiet reading room. When CNA visited at lunchtime on Wednesday, about half of the tables were in use, and several people were using the multimedia stations. Others, mostly older patrons, were sat at the benches and sofas reading books or using their phones. Mr Vincent Ong, 71, will also have to change his daily routine when the library moves. The retiree had not heard about the relocation before speaking to CNA. 'There's no space at AMK Hub. Unless they're putting it at the top floor where the cinema used to be,' he added. Every morning, Mr Ong goes to the library to read newspapers and 'do some research'. After that, the Ang Mo Kio resident has his lunch and goes swimming nearby. The current Ang Mo Kio Public Library is quite old, he added, saying that other libraries like the one at Nex are better resourced. 'The space, the environment is much better.' While Mr Ong is worried that the new site at AMK Hub will be smaller, the footfall at its current spot is low and the library seems to have fewer books available. 'Other libraries might have three (of the same) book, here only one book.' Despite his concerns, he plans to continue going to the library after it moves to AMK Hub. 'I need to change my lifestyle. For me, I need to adjust it because it's become my hobby. Every day I come here to pass the time.' According to patrons CNA spoke to, the library gets more crowded before examination periods and during the school holidays, when parents with children or students flock there. Sometimes, preschool teachers also bring their students to the library, said Ms Goh. Housewife Elaine Yeo, who was at the library to borrow books for her five-year-old grandson, said the new location at AMK Hub would be even more convenient for her. While she does take her grandson to the library occasionally, more often she visits by herself or with her husband to borrow and return books for him. 'It'll probably get smaller but the space doesn't matter that much to me. Singapore is already so small and having a library nearby is so convenient,' she added. Mr Tan Junliang, 28, who stopped by the library to return some books, told CNA he remembers studying there as a student. 'Now I come here occasionally, actually only because I live nearby,' he said, adding that he has no reason to visit the library other than to borrow books once in a while. 'A lot of books are available online so I only come here to browse a bit when I'm in the area for lunch.' Ms Pearlene Chin, who was working from the library after having lunch, told CNA she sometimes books a table there to work in a quieter environment. She works from home most days and comes to the library about once or twice every two weeks. The 36-year-old, who works in digital marketing, lives a few bus stops away. 'There's usually a seat on weekday afternoons, so I can come here and work with free air conditioning,' she said. When the library moves to the mall, seats might get snapped up more quickly, especially in the afternoons after students are released from school, Ms Chin said. 'I guess we'll see. I think it'll be a lot more crowded. If it's too crowded I don't think I can work from there because there'll be too much activity,' she added.

19-day Food Fiesta offers pistachio shio pans, Kaohsiung oden, lempeh otah & Dona Manis banana pie
My job involves visiting several food fairs and pasar malams, but most of them offer more or less the same old stuff (yawns). We headed down to the first day of Food Fiesta 2025 over at Takashimaya Square, basement 2, with no high expectations. But oh boy, I haven't been that excited in a while! With over 60 stalls offering a smorgasbord of food and products, the 19-day Food Fiesta will run until 7 July 2025 — and it even stretches all the way inside, right up to where Cold Storage is located. With so much to see and decide on, where do we even begin? Don't worry — my colleague Rachel and I scouted the grounds to see what interesting bites were on offer. At this stall called BANANA, we spotted a lady frying various Thai-style fritters just like the ones sold at the now-defunct Golden Mile complex. But with Talad Thai already holding court in AMK Hub's basement, the question is: what sets this place apart? That was when I spotted Pineapple Rings and Pineapple Pop (S$7.50 each). We ended up going for the latter — battered clusters of pineapple cubes. Each bite was a taste of summer, with savoury-sweet notes and a crispy, sesame seed-laden batter. Although the pineapple was probably the canned kind, it was still a very satisfying snack. A couple of small bites that blew me away were the (S$2.20) and (S$2.80) from Makan House By Ollella. For the uninitiated, they are glutinous rice rolls stuffed with various fillings, with the most common being hae bee hiam and chicken. The glutinous rice here was so fragrant and moist — probably one of the best I've eaten! I highly recommend the (S$2.20) as well. They also have (S$1.80), Durian (S$5.80 for 2 pieces) and Coco (S$3.20). If you have a penchant for Taiwanese food, why not swing by Good Meet Fishball for some warm and hearty Taiwan (S$8.80)? This brand is from Kaohsiung and has been around for 60 years. I absolutely loved the sotong ball, white radish and fishcake. If you're craving for breakfast food, there's Cheese Scallion Egg Pancake (S$10.50) with luncheon meat or chicken floss at Xi Men Jie. You can also savour Taiwan Garlic Pork Sausage (S$3.50) from Sausage Family and desserts like Purple Rice with QQ Balls & Grass Jelly (S$4.50) from Sister Wei. Another gem we unintentionally chanced upon while buying a drink at Cold Storage was The Flour Dept. They are a bakery that resides at Everton Park, and specialises in shio pan and pistachio bakes. We tried the (S$4.20) and Pure Pistachio (S$4.20) . The former was tangy and umami at the top, filled with chunky egg salad with crunchy onion bits. The Pure Pistachio was divine with its nutty and earthy pistachio lava centre, and finely-chopped pistachio bits combined with a little salty peanut butter. My only minor gripe is that the bread could've been a touch chewier. You don't have to travel all the way to Katong Shopping Centre for a slice of the Original Banana Pie (S$5.50) — Dona Manis Cake Shop has a booth here. Each whole pie is cut into 8 slices instead of the usual 10, making each piece bigger — and naturally, a little pricier. For something a little boozy and shiok all at once, give the Rum Balls (S$5 for 2 pieces) a try. At Keong Saik Bakery, we checked out the mini (probably an eclair–croissant hybrid) with various sweet and savoury varieties. We took 4 for S$16.50: Truffle Potato, Black Sesame Muah Chee, Lemon Pistachio and Mentaiko. They were all lip-smackingly delish! You could hear several girls (including Rachel) swooning over how cute the macarons were from Sugar Smith. Pick from over 10 designs such as the Biscoff cheesecake Cookie Kitty (S$6), cookie cheesecake Cinnamoroll (S$6.50) and (S$4). Head over to Basement 2 at Ngee Ann City and soak in the vibrant vibes of Food Fiesta 2025 for yourself!

Gyms and tuition centres replace Singapore cinemas amid closures
SINGAPORE: Gyms and tuition centres have been replacing Singapore cinemas in malls amid closures, as footfall from cinemas wanes due to the rise of streaming services and changing consumer preferences. Meanwhile, other cinema spaces are drawing in immersive dining to draw in the crowd, as reported by Channel News Asia (CNA). Cathay Cineplexes, operated by media company mm2 Asia, faced legal action in February over alleged unpaid rent and other costs . Days after the reports surfaced, the cinema announced the closure of its West Mall outlet in Bukit Batok . In March, it also shut its outlet at Jem shopping mall, citing challenges the cinema industry faced since the pandemic in a bourse filing, CNA reported. These closures followed earlier ones that began in mid-2022. Over the past year, WE Cinemas, formerly known as Eng Wah Cinemas, and Filmgarde Cineplexes have also exited the cinema industry. At Leisure Park Kallang, the former Filmgarde Cineplexes unit will become an 'immersive dining' venue. The Singapore Tourism Board said Hidden Worlds, a themed restaurant focused on ocean conservation, will open there later this year. West Mall and AMK Hub, formerly occupied by Cathay Cineplexes, also plan to overhaul their cinema spaces. Singland, which owns West Mall, said it was in an 'active discussion' with potential tenants to 'explore opportunities to introduce new offerings.' Meanwhile, AMK Hub's asset and property manager, Link Asset Management, said it began upgrading level four of the mall, where the cinema was previously located, in July last year and is working to enhance its tenant mix. At Seletar Mall, Shaw Theatres closed its outlet in December. Mall management said then that they already had 'alternative plans' for the space. Dr Samer Elhajjar, senior lecturer in marketing at the National University of Singapore's (NUS) business school, pointed out a shift in how mall operators view cinemas. He said the pandemic accelerated a trend that was already 'brewing', as more people turned to entertainment at home, changing the value proposition of cinemas. Once home to a Cathay cinema that's now closed, Parkway Parade's general manager, Joey Teng, said they needed to 'monitor, adapt and refresh' their tenant mix to meet evolving shopper needs. She added, 'It is important to make sure our offerings remain relevant for our visitors and provide not only their ideal tenants but differentiators from surrounding locations.' RHB Bank Singapore's vice president of equity research, Vijay Natarajan, noted that while cinemas can still draw foot traffic, changes in how people watch content are pushing mall operators to look for better-performing and higher-paying tenants. Still, mall owner Lendlease said it continues to view cinemas as a 'relevant tenant' that adds variety to its premises. It also noted that bringing in a tenant from the same industry could help 'reduce capital expenditure and ensure stable income and cash flow' for both landlord and tenant. /TISG Read also: Cathay Cineplexes apologises after Save Our Screens campaign draws flak amid trouble using vouchers for certain movies

11 best hawker stalls at 724 AMK Market & Food Centre
724 AMK Market & Food Centre was built in 1979 and boasts a total of 45 food stalls. Located right in the heart of Ang Mo Kio town centre, it's within a short walking distance from multiple amenities, including AMK Hub, Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic… the list goes on. I made my way there on a late weekday morning under the blazing heat, all hot and sweaty, only to be greeted by the insanely long, snaking queue in front of Ang Mo Kio Fried Kway Teow. With a tissue in tow to wipe my sweat, I explored the premises in search of the 11 best hawker stalls at 724 AMK Market & Food Centre. Even before 724 AMK Market & Food Centre existed, the late Haji Yunos Ahmad had already been operating Yunos N Family in 1965 as a humble push cart stall at Hastings Road selling mee rebus. His legacy is carried on by his son, grandson, and a couple of relatives. Believe it or not, I never would have envisioned ranking Yunos N Family in the top spot on this guide. When I patronised them many years back, the food was nothing spectacular, to say the least. But guess what? They proved me wrong! Fast forward to today, the stall now serves Mutton, Beef, Chicken, and even Babat (tripe) satay (S$0.90 each for all). There's also crowd-favourite mains like Mee Soto (S$4.30), Gado-Gado (S$5), and Mee Rebus (S$4.30). They have really come a long way. If you're seeking something a little different, the Special Menu section has specialities like Mee Soto + Wing (S$5.30) and Mee Rebus + Ribs (S$8.30). I went for the Mee Rebus + Chicken (S$5.30) which has tender chicken chunks, tau pok and a boiled egg, crowned with fried shallots, green chilli and some fiery chilli padi. The slurp-worthy gravy has a little peanut sauce added, making it incredibly delicious. I swear, if I didn't have to save room for 4 other stalls, I would've polished off the entire bowl myself. The flavour has improved tremendously! +65 9880 3705 Mon to Sat: 11am – 7pm Closed on Sun With an attention-grabbing red signboard, Zhou Ji Wanton Noodle is a 7-year-old business operated by Joy. While 7am is the Google-listed opening hour, the stall begins serving hungry customers as early as 6am. Prices are affordable at just S$3.50 for 4 types of noods: Wanton Noodles, Mushroom Noodles, Dumpling Noodles, and Shredded Chicken Noodles. My $3.50 plate of Wanton Noodles with additional Chicken Feet (+S$1) was not at all measly with its portion. The mound of mee kia underneath was topped with slices of char siew, green veggies, and served with a bowl of soup with 4 wantons. The noodles were of the ultra-fine variety, similar to those served in Hong Kong. They were cooked to al dente perfection — chewy with just a hint of crunch, and nicely tossed in soy sauce and chilli. Though the char siew looked lean at first, it had a nice balance of fat, too. The wantons were plump and delicious, doused in a clear-looking but tasty soup. As for the chicken feet? Let's just say I polished it off clean! I would describe the taste here to be nostalgic and old-school. Definitely worth a try! Sun to Thu: 7am – 2pm Closed on Fri The previous time I was here, I was already drawn to this bakery's quirky name, which translates to Just Love Bread. The signboard also mentions that the bakes here are freshly made and sold on the same day. I was determined to visit the next time… and I finally did! While selecting from its wide range of buns, cakes and pastries that cost just S$1.30 each, I witnessed a guy handmaking the dough and moulding them on a baking tray. This humble stall has been operating for over 10 years, and you can purchase 3 buns for just S$3.50! The Apple Fantasy features tart apple cubes and bits of raisin encased in fluffy bread that felt like biting into a cloud. Though the Muar was tasty, I couldn't help but long for the fluffy version from across the causeway — this one tasted more like the local rendition instead. Last but not least, the Banana Cake was incredibly fluffy and packed with rich nuances of banana flavour. Considering the fact that it's handmade and has a substantial thickness, it's definitely value for money! +65 9730 6861 Daily: 6am – 7pm | The infamous stall, Ang Mo Kio Char Kway Teow, attracts such ridiculously long queues that sometimes you just can't be bothered to join the line. But is it worth the wait in my opinion? Yes! This char kway teow hotspot has been operating for over 40 years by an elderly couple. Occasionally, you'll see the signboard lights being switched off momentarily, while customers continue waiting patiently for him to take a quick toilet break — hawker life is tough, but deeply respected! The is available in two portions: S$4 for small and S$5 for large. Both come with cockles and chilli, though you can ask for it to be cooked without these two components if you'd like. You can smell and taste the smoky scent of wok hei emanating from the strands of kway teow and yellow noodles, all stir-fried with sliced fishcakes, lap cheong, pork lard, cockles and bean sprouts. On some days, it may be a little wetter, but the overall flavour coming from the sweet sauce and chilli still delivers the magic. +65 9729 8273 Tue: 10.15am – 2pm Wed & Thu, Sat & Sun: 10.30am – 2pm Closed on Mon & Fri In the evenings when I'm at 724 AMK Market & Food Centre and yearn for Western fare, Vincent Western Food is always at the top of my list. The stall, which opened in the 1990s, has been a personal favourite since my secondary school days. The stall only operates for 5 hours, starting from 4pm, as uncle Vincent is not in the pink of health (get well soon!). The vast menu has over 30 old-school Western dishes including sides like Cheese & Mayonnaise Fries (S$3.50). For a mouth-watering sizzling affair, the Combo Grill (S$10.50), Sirloin Steak w/ Black Pepper (S$10) and Black Pepper Lamb Chop (S$10) are served on hot plates, which turn heads at the food centre. The Black Pepper Sliced Beef w Rice (S$7) comes with plain rice, sliced beef, baked beans and coleslaw. The beef was tender and the black pepper sauce wasn't overwhelming, perfect for slathering over the rice. On the other hand, the Chicken Chop (S$7) had a great charred surface with crispy skin, which enhanced its aroma. The meat was also well marinated and soft. It was served with coleslaw, baked beans, and crispy crinkle-cut fries; perfection on a plate. Tue to Sun: 4pm – 9pm Closed on Mon 12 best stalls at Taman Jurong Market & Food Centre to makan before/after you jalan Though 724 AMK Market & Food Centre has 2 satay bee hoon stalls, my father and I usually gravitate towards Centre . The stall is currently managed by Teochew-born Jome, whose father started the stall back in 1979. The menu only has 2 items: and Cuttlefish , with either (S$4.50/S$5.50/S$6.50) or Without (S$5.50/S$6.50/S$7.50). The Satay Beehoon has cockles, cuttlefish, pork slices and kangkong slathered in rich, peanut sauce. The ingredients are fresh and the satay sauce is robust and generous with the grounded nuts. However, the portion size needs to be improved as some customers might not find it good value for money. +65 6850 5058 Wed to Mon: 10am – 8pm Closed on Tue While queueing for Hup Hup Minced Meat Noodle, I spotted the words: 'Founded on August 15, 1980 (Lunar Calendar),' indicating that they've been in the hawker business for at least 45 years. This bak chor mee stall is supposedly run by 3 brothers, and mee pok is used in place of mee kia. Patience is key when you commit to joining the queue, as the uncle cooks the noodles slowly, one bowl at a time. For now, only the Small (S$3) and Large (S$4) options are available, as the Extra Large (S$5) option is temporarily unavailable. My S$4 Large bowl contained sliced pork, mushrooms, fish cake, minced pork, pork lard, and 2 large circular fried wanton skins. The mee pok wasn't overcooked and was tossed in a savoury-tangy soy-vinegar sauce, along with some chilli and a little ketchup. The wanton skins were delightfully crispy and complemented my bowl of noodles. The only criticism I had was that the pieces of lard were slightly soggy and, in my opinion, barely noticeable. +65 9788 4401 Mon to Sat: 11.30am – 6pm Closed on Sun With a range of over 25 hot and cold desserts — both traditional and modern — House Of Dessert is the ideal place to swing by for a sweet finale to your meal or, like me, a remedy for the sweltering heat. It's not an independent business, but has a few other outlets scattered across Singapore. Everything here is handcrafted from scratch, including the soya bean curd, using 100% organic soya beans, and chin chow (grass jelly). You can find old-school varieties that will make ah ma and ah gong satisfied, such as Sweet Potato Soup (S$2.30), (S$1.80), (S$1.80), and Green Bean Soup (S$1.80). The Sticky Cake Beancurd (S$2.50) had soya bean curd topped with crunchy peanuts, kidney beans, a mixture of green and red beans, and square cubes of mochi-like sticky cake. The cold Mango Ice (S$3.50) was a refreshing tropical dessert consisting of crushed ice, a mixture of sweet and tart mango cubes, and jelly pieces. It's perfect for Singapore's warm weather. Daily: 9.30am – 8.30pm My closely guarded relationship with 99 Fried Hokkien Mee for their black carrot cake began one Sunday evening, when I was wandering around the food centre in search of dinner options. The slightly long queue caught my attention and piqued my curiosity. Since then, I've returned a couple more times for the Black Fried Carrot Cake (S$3/S$4/S$5/S$6) and the standard has remained consistent. The black sweet sauce is substantial and the carrot cake is well-fried with just the right amount of flavour and smokiness. If you're an avid lover of Fried Hokkien Mee (S$4/S$6/S$8/S$10), the rendition here might look ordinary at first glance, but the taste is definitely above average. Daily: 10.15am – 8.45pm 724 小厨 Tasty Kitchen Grilled Fish may overwhelm you at the start with its vast menu offering a wide variety of choices like Fried Bee Hor Fun (S$5.50), Seafood Crispy Noodle (S$5.30), Salted Egg Chicken Rice (S$7), and Ginger Onion Fish Rice (S$5.50). But isn't that similar to any typical zi char stall? Obsessed about fish? Good for you! The stall also sells an entire Chongqing-style grilled fish at S$22 in these flavours — Spicy, Sauerkraut, and . There's also Grouper available from S$30 onwards. If you're a solo diner, head over between 10.30am to 5pm to savour their Grilled Fish For One Person (S$11.80). The fish is loaded with veggies, soyabean curd skin, glass noodles, bean sprouts, enoki mushroom, and cabbage. Savour it on its own, though I would recommend pairing it with White Rice (S$0.60 for small, S$1 for large). +65 8868 4012 Tue to Sun: 10.30am – 8.30pm Closed on Mon Xi Xiang Feng is a family-run business selling Cantonese-style yong tau foo for more than 30 years. The stall attracts a long line of customers who pick and choose their ingredients before joining the queue. The price of the handmade YTF ingredients ranges from S$0.70 to S$1, with a minimum of 6 pieces. You can choose to pair it with Rice, Noodles, or Bee Hoon for S$0.70, or go for the Chee Cheong Fun for an additional S$0.80, an option that's seldom available. Have your bowl of yong tau foo dry with lots of sweet sauce and chilli, or enjoy it with soup. If you're looking for something more indulgent, pair it with the Soup (+S$1). For those who crave the actual (S$3.50/S$4.50), guess what? Xi Xiang Feng also offers it on the menu!
