Even thou the salted egg pork rice was what got them famous. But it’s the Teochew Hor Fun that got me kept coming back. Their prawn paste chicken was also very good. They should move to a bigger outlet. Due the limited sittings, the queue gets insanely long. The wait can be unbearable. Definitely recommended.

This place always has a long queue and by long, I really mean long so I decided to packet my food and bring it home instead. I ordered the claypot hor fun with sliced fish and the prawn paste chicken. I like that they actually pack the sauce separately for the hor fun, which is very thoughtful because it keeps the noodles from getting soggy. Once I mixed everything at home, the hor fun had a nice smoky wok hei flavour and the fish slices were fresh and tender. The prawn paste chicken was crispy and fragrant, with a good balance of savouriness and that slight fermented prawn aroma that makes it addictive. Even after bringing it home, the chicken still had good crunch, which says a lot about the frying technique. Prices are reasonable given the quality and portion size but the queue is no joke, especially during peak meal times. If you want to skip the wait, packing your food like I did might be the best option. Definitely worth trying if you’re around Orchard and craving some solid zi char dishes.

Orchard has no lack of affordable eats! Unlike what the name suggests, New Station Snack Bar does not sell snacks - it’s an old school tze char store that is hidden at the highest level of Far East Plaza. Seatings are always limited and there’s always a queue forming up outside the store. The taste have not changed much since we started visiting many years ago. We ordered: * Stirred fried french beans with Chye Poh (you can request for more Chye Poh) * Salted egg pork * Thai-style fried beancurd * Stirred fried black bean fish with bitter gourd We requested for more Chye Poh for the stirred fried French beans with Chye Poh, and we were told that it will be more salty. In actual fact, we found that it was more sweet than salty but the fragrance of the chye poh complements the well fried French beans. Salted egg pork was solid as usual - Pork was adequately fried without being too greasy and it was topped with a generous amount of salted egg sauce that is savoury and not too salty. Thai-style fried beancurd tastes ordinary, but what is commendable is that the amount of Thai sweet-chilli sauce and vegetables. We were slightly disappointed by the Stirred fried black bean fish with bitter gourd. The black bean sauce was slightly too salty, and actually we didn’t see a lot of fish slices within the dish. So on that front, we thought it was a bit expensive. We paid S$58.60 for all the 4 dishes + 3 plates of rice which we thought was relatively affordable given the more expensive options around. Regardless, New Station Snack Bar is a staple Tze char option if you’re in Orchard area. You will not be disappointed!

This place is definitely a gem. We reached around 11.45am and it was almost full. The food definitely deserves five stars. The salted egg pork chop was definitely phenomenal. The pork chop was very tender and they gave just enough sauce. I would have preferred a much stronger tasting sauce with more kick, but I think their version is okay also. The Teo chew hor fun or Teo chew kuey teow was also good. Definitely got wok hei. I like it as it is hard to find a white version these days. The wok hei is really strong, and it definitely resembles the wok hei of a good penang char kuey teow. The kum hiong lala was a bit of a let down tho honestly. Taste was it was okay, but nth phenomenal. Just similar to what your normal zhi char stall can come up with. The staff were polite and patient (something I'm rather pleased with considering this should be a high traffic business). They did not pressure us to leave right after we finished (unlike some who start clearing your plates and tables once you are done eating but not done drinking). As a courtesy, we did not stay to chat after we finished. I gave 5 stars as they have a wow factor in their food (something u can't find just anywhere). They were also polite and friendly which I also liked. Will definitely come back again.

I decided to try the fried udon noodles instead of my usual salted egg pork rib. Oh damn it was good! No regrets. The prawn paste chicken was also nicely marinated. Highly recommend this place!

This restaurant was recommended by my friend. Food has strong wok hey taste. Will come again.

If you are alone, can go for their rice sets below $10 ( about $8.30) but as we are a group of 5, we ordered: 1) yang chou fried rice 2) Teo chew Kway Teow 💯‼️ must get! prefer this to the fried rice!❤️ 3) Salted Egg Pork 💯 4) Prawn 5) Hot Plate Tofu 💯 6) Garlic Dou Miao 💯 7) Sambal Kang Kong … Above all for bout $90 in total!👍which is really reasonable considering we ordered meat and seafood for a group of 5😍✨ Super satisfying singaporean meal that you can find around the heart of Orchard😬 No wonder there is a queue but no worries, bit clamp seating so people eat and leave immediately 😂

Came on a weekday around 8pm. There was a short queue with little to no wait time. The restaurant was nearly full. Two of us got a Salted egg pork, butter sotong, Sambal Kang Kong and rice with fried eggs. Bill came up to $47.40. The salted egg pork was AMAZING. SO FLAVOURFUL. Still crispy and there is an abundance of sauce. The dish is rich but not jelak. Unfortunately butter sotong had no salt whatsoever. The squid was fresh and cooked well but the lack of salt was rather disappointing. Kang Kong is nothing to rave about. Decent. Overall a great meal, carried by the pork.

Restaurant Review: New Station, Far East Plaza Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ I recently takeaway at New Station in Far East Plaza, and while the food had its moments, my experience took a turn for the worse. To start, the food (salted fish fried rice) was good. The flavors were decent, and the prices were reasonable for what you get. Portion sizes were also alright, leaving me feeling satisfied—until I encountered a shocking issue in another dish (salted fried chicken rice) As I bit into my chicken, a dead cockroach fell out! 😱 I can’t even begin to describe how gross that was. I rushed to rinse my mouth, feeling completely unsettled. I threw the rest away. While I wanted to enjoy my meal, that incident overshadowed everything else. Cleanliness is crucial in any restaurant, and this experience has left me hesitant to recommend New Station to anyone. Until they address their hygiene issues, I’d suggest looking elsewhere for a dining experience. It’s a shame because the food had potential, but the reality was hard to swallow.

A cozy, family-run spot that’s been around since 1994. Seating’s a bit tight, but no worries—the crowd moves fast. Service was super quick, and the staff were so friendly. The Teochew hor fan? Total winner of the day! 🤣 Definitely coming back to try more.
