Prowess, pride and peace: A National Day Parade ride to remember

SINGAPORE – 'You could take a little trip around Singapore town, in a Singapore city bus' – so go the lyrics of Singapore Town, a popular National Day song first performed in 1967 by The Sidaislers, a singing group from St Andrew's Cathedral. On the afternoon of June 21, I found myself going around downtown, not in a Singapore city bus, but aboard a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Leopard 2SG main battle tank – one of 66 assets taking part in the mobile column drive-past for the 2025 National Day Parade (NDP). Equipped with a 120mm main gun and a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun, the tank was one of several vehicles that members of the media were invited to ride in that day. Other SAF assets included the Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier – an articulated armoured vehicle developed by ST Kinetics and the Defence Science and Technology Agency – and the Light Strike Vehicle, a fast and lightweight anti-tank vehicle that can be mounted with a variety of weapons. I jumped at the chance to ride the Leopard 2SG tank, which I had seen so many times at NDPs over the years. Although I served my national service in the army, the largest SAF vehicle I had sat in was the five-tonner truck – though I did belt out 'C-130 rolling down the strip' during my basic military training, a marching song inspired by the C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft. Standing in the Leopard 2SG as it rolled along a 3km route from Nicoll Highway to St Andrew's Road and back gave me a new vantage point to view familiar landmarks such as the Civilian War Memorial, the former City Hall building and the Esplanade. Seeing such vehicles on the roads here has become a familiar spectacle during the annual National Day celebrations, stirring feelings of pride and excitement for many Singaporeans. However, I realised the sight of tanks rolling down city streets will evoke very different emotions elsewhere in the world. They are harbingers of fear rather than celebration, often associated with political turmoil, loss and deep uncertainty. In post-independence Singapore, the destruction of our city has only ever been fictional – depicted in the movies Ah Boys To Men and Independence Day: Resurgence. But in the Middle East, Ukraine and far too many other places, war has reduced cities to rubble and left lives in tatters. That sobering contrast made me grateful for the safety and security that my family and I enjoy in Singapore – a peace protected in part by the same vehicles, artillery, as well as the men and women we will see at the Padang on Aug 9.

11 best stalls at Seah Im Food Centre that give Harbourfront more flavour

There's way more to the Harbourfront area than just Sentosa, and Seah Im Food Centre proves it. Located right across the street from VivoCity, this underrated hawker centre has been a neighbourhood mainstay since the early 80s, long before the bustling mall even came to be. Fresh off a major renovation, the place is now brighter, breezier and cleaner than ever (source: this loyal regular). It's also home to a stacked line-up of more than 40 stalls — a go-to for nearby residents and office workers, and well worth a spot on your radar too. So, whether you're craving local flavours or just need a break from mall food, here are 11 best stalls at Seah Im Food Centre that give Harbourfront more flavour. Fun fact: Seah Im Food Centre resides where a Malay kampung used to be, which could explain the strong showing of Malay-Muslim cuisine here. Undoubtedly one of the most popular, Muslim-owned Aspirasi Chicken Rice is known and loved for its fantastic fried chicken rice — which it's been dishing for the better of 3 decades. The stall offers a straightforward selection of 8 dishes starring their crowd-pleasing fried chicken. Think Ayam Penyet (S$6.50), Black Pepper Chicken Rice (S$6), Lemon Chicken Rice (S$6) and Fried Rice with Chicken (S$7). I went for the Sambal Chicken Rice (S$6), which features a generous mound of rice, sambal-laden fried chicken, a bowl of soup and, get this: free-flow batter crumbs, which you're free to help yourself to from the massive bucket at the counter. Deep-fried to golden-brown perfection, the fried chicken is impeccably crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The house-made sambal strikes a great balance between sweet, savoury and a gentle heat, pairing perfectly with the flavour-packed chicken and fragrant rice. +65 6278 8780 Mon to Sat: 9am – 7pm Closed on Sun Facebook | Instagram | Website Farasha by Intan is another crowd favourite known for its ayam penyet, but dials it up with a variety of nasi and mee goreng dishes that keep queues steady throughout the week. It's even earned Celebrity Chef Bob's seal of approval! It's not every day you see ayam goreng paired with noodles like maggi, kway teow or even macaroni, but that's exactly what this stall offers as alternatives to the classic nasi goreng. As a die-hard maggi goreng fan, I opted for the Maggi Goreng Ayam (S$7). The springy stir-fried noodles were well-seasoned, pairing well with the piquant sambal and crackly slab of fried chicken, served piping hot and fresh from the wok. For good measure, I also had the Nasi Goreng Tom Yum Ayam (S$7.50), which sees the fried chicken paired with tangy tom yum-infused fried rice — a refreshing twist for those into something with a little kick. Although, if you're more of a purist, the stall also offers staples like Nasi Ayam Penyet (S$6) and Nasi Goreng Kampung (S$6). +65 9772 1170 Mon to Sat: 8.30am – 8.30pm Closed on Sun Facebook | Instagram Seeing double? That's just Daliman's Corner, Farasha's sister stall. This family-run gem leans a little more old-school, serving up comforting Malay staples in the likes of Mee Rebus (S$4), Mee Soto (S$4), Lontong (S$4) and Gado Gado (S$4). Made with a family recipe passed down through 3 generations, the golden-hued Mee Rebus is a solid must-try. Unlike the usual sweet potato-based version, the gravy here is said to be made with a peanut and ikan bilis base, yielding an incredibly moreish, umami-packed sauce that abundantly coats each noodle and renders the dish downright slurp-worthy — even for a self-professed mee rebus hater like me. A top pick for many, the hearty Mee Rebus Satay (S$8.50) comes topped with tender, smoky skewers of deliciously grilled Satay (S$0.90 per stick à la carte). Or if you're after something simple, a fluffy and flavourful Begedil (S$0.50) on the side might just hit the spot like it did for me. Daily: 7am – 8.30pm Facebook | Instagram Formerly known more eponymously as Seah Im Fried Kway Teow, Fried Kway Teow Mee • Seafood Delight serves up — you guessed it — char kway teow, along with a variety of wok-fried dishes such as carrot cake, fried Hokkien mee and even lala bee hoon. Don't be fooled by the stall's seeming lack of an online presence; it's actually quite a fave within the food centre itself. I had the titular Char Kway Teow (S$4), which was promptly fried to order by the auntie holding down the wok solo. While the portion ran a little small and leaned on the drier side, the noodles carried a decently sweet flavour profile, offset nicely by the salty fishcakes and briny cockles. The best part, though, was that the dish possessed a surprisingly punchy wok hei — always a win in any good plate of char kway teow. Daily: 6am – 9pm Shi Ji Noodle Stall is your spot for all things noodles. With affordable prices and generous portions to boot, its popularity requires no further explanation. Swing by in the morning and you're sure to spot their signature orange bowls perched on most — if not all — tables in the stall's vicinity. A well-loved staple, their Lor Mee (S$4/S$5) is a super gao bowl of flat yellow noodles blanketed by thick, silky gravy laced with satisfying herbal notes. The standard portion is hearty as it is, featuring a medley of fishcakes, ngoh hiang and egg — although you can top it off with several pieces of Fried Fish for just S$1 more. Also popular is the Pork Ribs Prawn Noodle (S$5.50/S$6.50), which comes with tender pork ribs, fresh prawns and noodles swimming in a sweet, moreish broth. Wed to Mon: 7.30am – 2.15pm Closed on Tue If you love duck rice, look no further than Cai Ji Boneless Duck. A stalwart of Seah Im Food Centre, it's kept its prices wallet-friendly and braised duck tender and juicy through the years. I mean, S$3.50 duck rice? Practically unheard of in this economy. The stall offers 2 versions of its signature dish: Duck Rice (S$3.50) and Yam Duck Rice (S$4) — the former comes with plain ol' white rice, while the latter features a tasty base of yam rice. Both include a sizable helping of flavourful duck meat, wholly drizzled with an addictive herbal gravy and a dollop of hae bee-laden chilli, if you're up for it. You can also zhng up your plate with a range of add-ons, including Braised Egg (S$0.80), Tau Pok (S$0.80) and even Braised Pork (S$2). Can't get enough of their duck? Go big with a Whole Duck (S$52) or Half Duck (S$26) if you're down for a splurge. Sun to Fri: 11am – 7pm Closed on Sat 15 best 'clucking good' chicken rice stalls in Singapore [Apr 2025 update] Move aside, Five Guys, it's Two Guys in the house. Egyptian food is a rare enough find in Singapore — let alone in a hawker centre — but that's what this eye-catching yellow stall brings to the table. Helmed by an Egyptian ex-hotel chef, it serves up a mouthwatering spread of Middle Eastern delights, from kebabs to hawawshi (a meat-stuffed Egyptian pita) and kunafa. Funnily enough, the stall does offer a small line-up of burgers such as the juicy Smashed Cheese Beef Burger + Fries (S$7.40 Single, S$9.40 Double), Grilled Chicken Burger (S$8.40) and Grilled Lamb Burger (S$10.40). Down for something new? Give the Hawawshi (S$8.50 for Chicken, S$9.50 for Lamb, S$10.50 for Mixed) a whirl. Think of this as a Middle Eastern spin on a quesadilla, featuring soft pita pockets brimming with meat, seasoned with onions and spices. If you prefer something more classic, you won't go wrong with the Kebab Wrap (S$6.90/S$8.40/S$9.40) or, better yet, the sinfully wholesome Kebab Platter + Fries (S$10.90/S$12.40/S$13.40) — piled with meat, salad and a heap of crispy golden fries. And finally, treat yourself to a sweet finish with some sugary Baklava (S$10 for 3 pieces, S$13 for 5 pieces) or Pistachio Cheese Kunafa (S$10 Original, S$12 Chocolate). +65 8900 3635 Daily: 9am – 9pm Instagram Notably named after former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, the iconic Thaksin Beef Noodle has been warming bellies with its beef noodles since the 1990s. This Halal-certified stall also offers generous portions of Phad Thai (S$4, S$7.50 with Beef) and wok hei Fried Rice (S$4, S$7.50 with Beef). The main attraction, though, is undoubtedly the Beef Noodle (S$8/S$12), which has garnered many rave reviews likening it to renditions from the motherland. Each bowl features your choice of noodles (many swear by the smooth kway teow) bathed in a full-bodied beef broth and topped with a good mix of tender beef chunks, tripe, taugeh and fragrant basil leaves. +65 8758 7144 Daily: 9am – 10pm Facebook Are you ready for some Wok 'N Roll? Of course you are — it's never a bad day for zi char. A pretty new kid on the block, this mini wok specialist relocated to Seah Im Food Centre from SAFRA Mount Faber just last year. Its extensive menu spans over 20 dishes, covering sensible classics like smoky Yang Zhou Fried Rice (S$6), Sweet & Sour Chicken Rice (S$6) and Mee Goreng (S$6), alongside cooler choices like Sesame Prawn On Toast (S$6) and Chilli Salt & Pepper Squid (S$10). A must-try is the unique W.N.R Coriander Chicken Rice (S$6), a simple but satisfying combo of white rice, egg and fried chicken marinated in a flavoursome blend of coriander, lemongrass and sweet basil. Coriander haters, don't wok it till you've tried it. Alternatively, House Special Fried Rice (S$6.80) and nutty Satay Chicken Rice (S$6) will do absolutely right by you. +65 9107 1357 Sat to Thu: 11.30am – 8.30pm Closed on Fri Facebook | Instagram Feeling peckish? #MakanBoleh is here to make your day. This family-run stall offers a wide array of Malay dishes and snacks to tide you through breakfast to elevenses and lunch. Think picks like nasi campur, nasi lemak, assorted sandwiches and epok epok. From curry chicken to sayur lodeh and sambal telur, you'll find a rotational selection of ingredients to build your own plate of nasi campur just the way you like it. Indecisive? Go for the Nasi Lemak (S$4.50), which comes topped with crispy chicken wings and egg. Above all, one offering that you absolutely can't skip is the Epok Epok. These buttery, golden puffs come in Potato (S$1.20) and Sardine (S$1.40) varieties — each stuffed generously and absolutely worth travelling down for. Just note that they're only available from 12.30pm onwards, and sell out faster than you can say 'makan boleh'. Mon to Fri: 5am – 3pm Closed on Sat & Sun Facebook | Instagram Last but not least, wash it all down with a freshly brewed cuppa from Coffee Queen. Their beverage selection indeed reigns supreme — so extensive it spans 4 whole display boards, with even more options tucked away in the fridge. The drink options are split into 3 categories: Classic, Refreshing and Homemade. The Classic range includes fuss-free staples like Teh (S$1.30 Hot, S$2 Iced), Coffee (S$1.30 Hot, S$2 Iced), Milo (S$1.50/S$2.20) and even Vietnam Salted Coffee (S$3.90). On warmer days, you can count on Refreshing picks like Salty Lemonade (S$2) and Honey Grass Jelly (S$2.30) to perk you up, or sip on their Homemade Lemon Tea (S$1.40/S$2) or Lime Juice (S$1.40/S$2). But that's not all. Coffee Queen also has an array of Classic Toast, including Peanut Toast (S$1.60) and the quintessentially Singaporean Kaya Butter Toast (S$1.60). Even better, you can pair it with some Half Boiled Eggs (S$1.50 à la carte) and a Coffee O or Teh O in a value-for-money set at just S$3.60.

My favourite yong tau foo stall at Cheng San Market & Cooked Food Centre

I've been going back and forth about sharing this little secret of mine. Well, I guess it's finally time to stop gatekeeping my all-time favourite yong tau foo stall near my neighbourhood. It's none other than… (drum roll)… Mei Ji Niang Dou Foo 梅記釀豆腐 at Cheng San Market & Cooked Food Centre. For the uninitiated, this market is located near eateries like Magic Kitchen, the ever-popular Lao Wu Ji Mutton Soup, and the renowned The Pine Garden cake shop. For the past 10 years, my family has been returning to this stall whenever the yong tau foo craving strikes. This stall has been around for at least 12 years and it's mostly handled by 3 ladies — I saw only 2 that day. If you're approaching Mei Ji Niang Dou Foo 梅記釀豆, remember to head to the queue to choose your ingredients first, before scurrying over to the main line with your bowls. The yong tau foo selection spans over 30 varieties, and sticks to the time-honoured classics — don't expect any modern twists. Each ingredient costs S$0.70, with a minimum of 6 pieces if you're adding noodles for S$4.90. Want to indulge yourself? Enjoy it with gravy — it's just S$1 more! I consider the pricing here to be affordable. On a side note, the line moves pretty fast, so don't worry about waiting for an insane amount of time. Some of the fried ingredients get a quick spruce-up with a flash fry in the deep fryer, especially my favourite stuffed eggplant! Soup lovers will adore the clear broth, which is clean tasting yet possesses a depth of flavour that's perfectly seasoned. The best part? It doesn't leave you feeling thirsty. For those who like it dry (like myself), remember to load your saucers with the chilli and sweet sauce provided at the stall front. Mix everything up well, tuck in, and enjoy the little party in your mouth! My usual go-to combination is kway teow + yellow mee. Alternatively, you can enjoy that with bee hoon, too. If Ang Mo Kio isn't that much of a hassle to travel to, why not head down to Cheng San Market & Cooked Food Centre and give their yong tau foo a try? Who knows? It might become your favourite yong tau foo stall as well.
