Discover this place

Hup Choon Eating House, a charming retro coffee shop located at 794 Upper Bukit Timah Rd, is a culinary gem that brings nostalgic vibes paired with a vibrant atmosphere. This delightful spot is praised for its extensive selection of affordable and delicious dishes. I was particularly drawn to the highly recommended roti prata, which was a crispy yet fluffy treat, especially when paired with the unlimited fish and vegetarian curries that pack a flavorful punch.

From the reviews, it’s clear that the wanton mee and roasted pork have garnered a loyal following, thanks to their satisfying textures and affordability. Diners have raved about the char siew and Chinese herbal roasted duck as standout options. However, be prepared for long queues, as this popular spot keeps patrons coming back for more. The laid-back kampung feel, surrounded by nature, adds to the unique dining experience.

While there are minor challenges like limited parking and variable drink quality, Hup Choon Eating House’s extensive menu and warm ambiance make it a must-visit for both locals and tourists seeking authentic Singaporean flavors.

Based on 191 reviews

Hup Choon Eating House is widely regarded as a nostalgic, old-school coffee shop offering a diverse range of affordable and flavorful local dishes. Common praises highlight the well-executed roti prata, crispy roasted pork, and a variety of other classic hawker fare such as wanton mee, fish soup, and herbal duck. Its charm is enhanced by the vintage atmosphere and the self-service concept, with complimentary curry accompanying the prata. Patrons appreciate the generous portions and reasonable prices, especially for items like bak chor mee. However, long waiting times and occasional limited availability of popular items are frequent points of feedback. Some also note minor issues with drink quality and facility amenities, but overall, it remains a popular destination for traditional Singaporean dining experiences.

Recommended to order the roti prata. I Ordered egg onion and planta prata and it was good and tasty. The char Siew, roasted Pork and Chinese herbal danggui roasted duck also very good.

Almost all the stalls are popular. Good food at an affordable price. The wanton mee is great and the roasted pork is crispy too. The mushroom bak chor mee is cheap at only $3.50. Hardly you can find any other place with such price now. But the queuing time is super long, i waited for more than half hour. The oyster fried fritter and meat fritters were sold out when I arrived. Thus, there is no chance to order that. The fish soup potion is quite large. Had prata during my 1st visit last year during a cycling trip stop-over with my friends. Parking is an issue, though, as there are very limited parking lot. The coffee shop is at the side of a canal and has a laid-back kampung feel which one may like or dislike.

GA-Hock Eating House, an old school kopi tiam situated just below the Hokkien Huay Guan. Morning and day time a fully functional kopi tiam with Prata (highly recommended), Fish Soup (highly recommended), Noodle stall, Roast Stall, Bah Kut Teh etc ... night time mainly Seafood stall and Satay. Worth a visit.

This prata shop is a hidden gem. 1 of the 6 shops in the coffee shop area. It offers freshly made prata. Self service (even with the money) :) Help your self to unlimited fish curry or vegetarian curry. The prata packs the punch in terms of a delicate balance of density, volume, crispy-ness and fluffy-ness.

Rare retro coffee shop in Bukit area. Many great foods together JB style like. Very old school amongst nature & longkang too. Fully functional sun rise to sunset . Chilli mee, prata, fritters / oyster cake (mornings) duck / roast (lunch) Tze char & satay evenings. Too bad kopi/tea no standard & fruit flies. More parking & dining under stars in back

Coffeeshop that feels stuck in time but no complaints about the fare on offer here. Good roast meats and bak kut teh in the herbal style. Prata stall was also seeing brisk business. Not forgetting the popular Ga-Hock Seafood.

Went with my family on a weekend. Not very crowded but still had almost every table filled. Ordered prata, ba chor mee, wanton mee and oyster pancakes. All were very delicious! Especially the ba chor mee was seasoned really well. Would frequent~
