The eastern part of Singapore is filled with many places of great local delicacies. From Liang Seah Street at Bugis, all the way to the Nasi Lemak at Changi Village, this part of the island is dotted with many great eating places, livening up the street scenes of Singapore to live up to its name as a food haven.

Bedok Market Place is one of the food havens i get to know about just quite recently, it is located near Bedok Road, around 200m from the main road, which is the Upper Changi Road East. It's somewhere between the Tanah Merah MRT station and Expo, and it's quite within walking distance from the Tanah Merah MRT station.

Bedok Market place is like lined up with many eating outlets, serving local delights of roti prata, satay, roti john, zi char, western, etc etc. There's a whole stretch of tables lined up in front of the shops, and customers are free to seat anywhere along the stretch and order food from any of the stalls, without restrictions, like a hawker center. As most of the stalls are operated by the malay communities, the food here are mostly halal certified, attracting lots of malay folks to dine there with their wide variety of choices. Nevertheless, it also attracts many non-malays to gather there for dinner and sessions of chit chatting. Tables are plenty, and if you can't find one along the stretch, there is another whole stretch of tables along the other side of the shops.

Once you settled down on a table, you will be greeted by the many attendents from the various shops asking you what you want to order. The whole table is filled with 5 or 6 laminated menus, with great looking pictures enticing you to order like you've never had eaten anything the whole day. It's a relief that all the stores are selling almost all different items, and there isn't much harsh competition, as of what i see that day.

Roti Prata. It's not really fantastic, normal standard. But good enough.

Tissue prata, topped with condensed milk and honey. I love this crispy dessert.

The roti john is topped with thick layers of cheese and ketchup, sinfully appeasing.

I love the satay, the meat are sufficiently marinated and tender, especially the mutton ones, and there isn't any mutton odour. A bit disappointing is the peanut sauce though, which happens to be a tad too liquid.

Rojak. A healthier side dish to accompany the oily and heaty foods.

What's a nice local meal without the refreshing tea-chino and kopi-chino.

And ya, not to mention the zi char store offers very nice bbq stingray, but i've lost the picture. Nevertheless, there are a lot more variety than what i mentioned above, i just don't have the stomach to fill all those.

There's this western stall serving very nice and unique western food that you seldom find in normal coffeeshops and hawker centers. I'll try it next time i go there.
