East Coast Lagoon Food Village

East Coast Lagoon Food Centre is tucked away in the eastern part of Singapore, this hawker centre serves up some of the most delicious and authentic local dishes at incredibly affordable prices. The stalls are run by friendly and experienced vendors who are passionate about their food. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, with a mix of locals and tourists enjoying their meals al fresco. The centre is also clean and well-maintained, with plenty of seating and shade. To try some of the best local food in Singapore at East Coast Lagoon Food Centre. It's a must-visit destination for any foodie!

Hawker center close to the beach. Rather limited in food choices, since most stores serve the same food. But what the serve was really good. Try the sugar cane juice!

One of the best hawker centre’s in Singapore. Great atmosphere by the ocean and lake. Food is amazing. Good spot for chilli and pepper crab and all the Singapore hawker specialties.

Impressed with this plate of fried oyster. Oyster size is also bigger than most stores in Singapore. Had this a couple of times, and decided to review it today. Must try!

Stay away from the satay stall located at the right corner. This is the most unhygienic and disgusting stall. The group of family members sat across me and I witnessed this elderly man manning the stall coughing non stop while handling my satay for the whole time. If I did not witness it, I will be eating germs of unhygienic food. NEA should inspect those hawker stalls with poor hygiene - without mask while coughing is totally unacceptable. Mind you he did not cover his mouth and cough directly at my food. Disgusting. I did not touch my food and dump everything in the bin. Chicken wings from the Chinese stall is still the best!

15 June 2024. Had family dinner here. Ordered some dishes to share. Many’s choices at this Food ctr. Nice place for family or family gathering.

Where locals eat! No frills, just good food. Many stalls to choose from; you can compare Malay satay with Chinese satay, get chinese style chicken wings, squid, shrimp, skate... all delicious and on a paper plate and plastic tray :) I was unsure how many stars to give "Service," mainly because it's not really expected to be any; you carry your own tray. But some of the stalls will deliver your dishes to your table (the tables are numbered -- note your table number) if it takes a while to prepare. Also if the people before you did not clear their table when they were done, there isn't enough staff to clean them quickly. Bring your own napkins, but there is a hand-washing sink for after. Right on the ocean, you can go for a nice walk along the coast after your meal!

My fav braised duck stall in the East. Had patronised them for than 20+yrs, come on a weekday to avoid long queue. Meat is tender and juicy with thick sauce, the chilli sauce is sourish n not so spicy that goes well with the duck. Add the taupok, tau gua n egg for additional protein, they are great too! For takeaway, call them at 6445 4222 in advance to place your order, so u can come & collect to skip the queue.

This is authentic hawker food at its best. Close to the airport and by the water. Busy with excitement and hawkers selling their wares. A dizzying array of food selection and tropical drinks (as well as beer). There is a "Chinese" area and a "halal" area both with some of the best street food Singapore has to offer. If you are in Singapore and hungry, this is the place to go.

Passing along advice I was given: Cockles and oyster omelettes. Especially if it's your first try at either. Find them. No particular vendor though a local might say otherwise. Specifically, my personal add on suggestion is that cockles could pair brilliantly with beer. I'll have to try that next time since this time, which was my first visit, I couldn't get enough of those jumbo lime juice drinks. Oyster omelettes were tasty. Everything seemed fresh. Right by the water. Ample spots to picnic. Very picturesque. But hotttt & humid, of course. A nice ride around on bicycles seems nice.

There is everything to like in this excellent food market. All of the local staples are here (BBQ stingray, chili crab, Laksa, satay, etc) for very reasonable prices. Great family atmosphere, good food and fun! The stall owners were all very nice, and the food was excellent.

Newly remodeled but the stalls are the same. Generally overpriced dishes. Some stalls sell the same type of food. BBQ seafood, chicken wings, satay etc. Drink stalls sells sugar cane, sodas, hot drinks Self serve orders but have long lines waiting for the dishes to be cooked. Popular and good or slow in service? You be the judge. Overall a place to fill your tummy after a long day at the beach, but not to travel from far just for the experience.

A beachside food haven that's located off the beaten path. It's less touristy and abound with genuine Singaporean dishes. When traveling abroad the phrase, "Go where the locals go" is worth its weight in gold. While there are tons of choices for every palate, Chili Crab cement its status as one of the most sought after dishes. We ordered the followings. CHILI CRAB The crab is coated in a luscious chili sauce that has an exquisite blend of sweet, savory and spicy with ribbons of egg running through it. Served with mantou buns that is crispy on the outside making way for a pillowy soft interior. Perfect for sopping up the delicious gravy. BLACK PEPPER CRAB Layers of aromatic black pepper sauce enveloping the sweet succulent meat inside. You can't help but want to suck the sauce from the shells before cracking away at the claws. It's messy, delicious and downright indulgent. STINGRAY My introduction to stingray started here. If you're a spice fiend you're in for a treat. Pulling apart rows of sweet tender meat that's laced in a brilliant sambal sauce giving it a nice balance of sweet and sour with a subtle smokiness and a fiery punch. Absolutely addicting! OTAK OTAK A grilled fish cake with herbs and spices infused with coconut sauce and wrapped in a banana leaf. It was dry and somewhat unpalatable. Not something I'd get again. The freshly pressed sugar cane drink was not tooth-achingly sweet and was perfect to wash your meal down with. The food here are just as delicious if not more so than what you'll find at chain restaurants that boasts a higher price tag. Come just before dusk and enjoy your meal overlooking the sun set.

East Coast is my favorite Hawker center in Singapore. I came with a couple of coworkers after work and we shared: 1) Chili crab 2) Beef and chicken sate 3) Grilled stingray 4) Calamari 5) Chinese broccoli 6) Carrot cake (savory not sweet kind) 7) Teh Tarik (pulled milk tea) The Teh Tarik tea was not sweet and aerated really nicely through the hand pulling technique. This drink is usually way too sweet for my liking and good at the first sip but hard to finish. This version is best one of these I had while in Asia. The sate has a nice bbq flavor and were juicy and not dried out. Sate in Singapore and Indonesia is really a step above what I have had in other places. Eating the real thing almost makes me not enjoy them outside of south east Asia. Singapore's iconic dish is the chili crab. The sauce is fantastic and pairs really well with the fried bread for dipping (analogous to curry and naan bread for Indian food). This dish is the only one that is expensive. Value for money isn't there like everything else but if you have never had it before you need to have it at least once. I never had stingray before and probably wouldn't have ordered it if I came here by myself. However, I am glad I tried it. The taste and texture is similar to fish. This is something I definitely would order again. Squid, carrot cake, and veggies were also very good but not extremely memorable.

just to preface, i regular Lagoon Food Village - i think it's safe to say almost every singaporean has fond memories attached to Lagoon. there's one store, at the corner of Lagoon, i'm afraid i did not manage to get the name of - but it's in between a drink stall and a satay/grilled chicken store and has an ORANGE/YELLOW coloured sign. the place is Halal. please do NOT go there, the food is only sub-par, and the service is absolutely HORRIBLE. i ordered their oyster omelette, but received an onion omelette instead. went there to get my actual order but was received with the cashier scolding me for not checking my receipt, saying things like "did you eat this" (when obviously i didn't) and things like "so how are we supposed to sell this now". all i asked for was literally my actual order, which was the oyster omelette, and I was received with absolute rudeness and unnecessary raising of voices and yelling when it could have been simply been over in a mere 3 seconds by exchanging my order. the cashier that took my order pinned the blame on me for not "checking the receipt" when i stated loudly and clearly that i ordered the OYSTER omelette and not the onion one. apparently i was the problem to him, and that my job of 'checking the receipt' was imperative to an entirely tiny problem that was made a big one. the oyster omelette received in the end after much yelling tasted absolutely bad and inedible unfortunately. so please, avoid this store. will leave updates as to the name of the store once i find it out. instead, please get your sambal stingray, omelette, and kangkong fix at the hundreds of other stores there that will give u both service and quality. unfortunately, my experience from this store ruined my entire experience at Lagoon. thank you!

Lagoon Carrot Cake, Han Jia Bak Kut Teh, and Ah Hwee barbecue chicken were recommend by a food blog I follow, sethlui.com. My friend and I shared these 3 dishes and it was the perfect amount. We got the mixed black and white carrot cake to try both flavors, and both were very delicious. The bak kut teh was excellently peppery and the meat was very tender. We ordered 8 chicken wings to split between us and it was a good amount. It comes with a sweet Chili sauce that balances out the smoky flavour of the wings.

***Review #600*** A well deserved five stars. With solid parking and plenty of incredible drink and diverse food options, this hawker centre is quite clean and comfortable... Aside from the relentless Singaporean heat! Tips: Goes without saying... Bring your own napkins. Free toilets. Don't wash your feet in the sink. The sign says so. Prepare to sweat a lot, and pick a table underneath the fans! Plenty of refreshing drinks... Try the fresh pressed sugar cane juice with lemon at any stall, or get a sweet coconut. (PS- smaller ones are sweeter but have hard flesh. Big ones have tender flesh but aren't sweet.) Try the Muslim Ocean seafood's Nasi Lemak. You absolutely cannot go wrong with theirs! Singapore... Don't ever stop eating.

I cannot say how much I love this place. The last time I was in Singapore, I came here and had my first Chili Crab. OMG it was so amazing. My trip to Singapore would not be complete without a visit here. My husband and I were here around mid April so it was not so hot but I can see how warm it can get. It's a hawker style food court with a good amount of parking. We got here early enough on Saturday and Sunday night so was able to get parking. Remember to bring your own napkin, paper towel, or wet wipes. First thing you need to do is find a table/seating before you do anything else. Once you find a table, then go and walk around and find your food and drinks. I don't know about the men, but the women's bathroom is a bit interesting. The toilet paper roll is out by the sink so you will have to grab some before you go in to the stalls. Apparently you're not suppose to wash your feet in the sink, according to the sign. A lot of the times, the guys who sell the drinks will come to your table to ask you what you want to drink. Fresh sugarcane and coconut juice is the way to go. We ordered about the same things both nights just before we came back to the states. Chili crab, stingray, satay (pork, beef, chicken), simple vegetables. Everything is just perfectly seasoned, nothing else to say. The chili crab, just the right amount of spicy, some egg, little bit of tomato sauce. I love the little baked buns they provide so you can dip all the sauce that comes with the crab. They use mud crab which we don't have in the US so even though I bought the sauce packet, it won't taste exactly the same. If I lived there, I would totally bring that sauce home and mix with rice. This is where the locals go. I love it here and hope to be back soon.

One of my favorite memories during my (pre-covid) trip to SG was catching up with an old friend over amazing skewers watching the sunset. There are many great stalls here and the outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the tropical SG weather.

Honestly, I'm not really all that sure how it is that I ended up here. Okay, maybe it has something to do with wanting to visit this part of Singapore, and upon discovering a food village, decided that a trek here would definitely be worth it. Anyway, like most of the other food villages I've been to, this one is pretty cool, and there are definitely a lot of options available to you. Like the other ones, the stalls generally specialise in one style of food, and the options are dirt cheap. They also have a number of drink stalls, including one that sells some rather exotic beers. Once again, a trip to Singapore is wasted if one doesn't pay a visit to these food villages.

A local recommended we come here after a very lackluster experience at La Pau Sat. She indicated that La Pau set is for tourists and the vendors tend to be more rude and aggressive there. While I didn't try the satay, I did enjoy dick rice, wings and popiah. Much to my dismay there were quite a few pushy food stall vendors. I didn't care for that, but I suppose this comes with the territory. We arrived after 7:00 pm and it was extremely crowded; almost standing room only. I did enjoy the waterfront scenery, but it lacked the friendliness grew accustomed to elsewhere in Singapore. Some of the looks we received made it appear as though we weren't welcomed there. I'll stick with La Pau Sat.

East Coast Lagoon Food Village is one of the best food centres for seafood and it's right by the water! Great hawker food stalls! Great views! Plenty of outdoor seating! Haron 30 Satay #55 - very good satay (minimum order of 10 satays for SGD 6) Hwa Kee Barbeque Pork Noodle #45 - wanton horfun with char siew (small for SGD 3) This place is a bit difficult to get to if you don't have a car. Best to get here by car, taxi or bus #401.

My hb bought a coconut drink at $2.50 from Heng Heng Coffeeshop & it taste awful! When we asked to change it, the uncle who sold it to him glanced at us & look annoyed. He ordered us to throw it away and dont leave it there. The younger fella changed the drink to a young/green coconut unwillingly. Should rename suay suay! :/ Im giving a three stars because this is a good food center but only this particular stall is terrible.

After missing out last year due to spring cleaning ( well careless preparation/checking on our part) this year we finally went here with our colleagues from the department. During the week this place offers enough seating for even a group of 11 guys at 2 tables. And as expected they rushed out to get us stingray, satay, La la ( some sort of clamps) and some lime juice soft drinks. Food quality was pretty good at least equal to the Lau Pa Sat. The guys kept bringing new stuff some vegetarian roll (amazing), then some tiger beer, ok sanatary situation, restroom is ok. Later on somebody brought oysters in some sort of egg mix, not a big fan of oysters but was told they are pretty good around. Got a taxi pretty quick for our way home, beach view was impressive. All in all I would go there again definitely!

So totally five stars. Forget about fancy restaurants of you want to get food. This is the place. Well one of the places. But from what I tried one of the best. Nice spacious tables, excellent stingray excellent satay and - I'm really not a veggie - excellent greens. And so many other things. In addition, a nice and cold tiger beer - what do you need more to be happy?

Oh yeah, this is the place to eat in the evening. Delish food stalls abound serving up all kinds of deliciousness. I usually head to the back to the satay stalls, Order a plate full while I am waiting go grab a sugar cane juice. Culinary heaven!

Find a table first before you get too excited and scoot off trying to order from every stall you see - highly likely considering the wealth of choices here. Well, I gotta say, it is pretty hard to control yourself whenever the wisp of bbq smoke wades past the tables. Sambal Kangkong, Stingray, Oyster Omelette, Hokkien Mee are the usual standard fare. Definitely also look out for the Otah stall which sells many different types of otah, from the usual nonya and mackerel types to chilli crab, sambal sotong and even salmon ones. I'm always a little surprised to see lots of ang-mohs here with the families and drinking beer. Guess they've immersed into our local hawker culture ;)

This place has so much delicious food! The downside is that its popularity attracts so many people that it's quite difficult to find a table around dinnertime. (Had there been adequate seating, this would have been 5 stars.) After 30 minutes of walking around, my group of 8 ladies & gents finally found a family slowly leaving a small table. We decided to squish in and take turns ordering as to not lose our spot. My friend and I ordered the stingray and fish & chips. F&C was good, but stingray was absolutely AMAZING. It came served on a banana leaf and covered in a delicious spicy sauce, along with onions and scallions. I wrapped up my meal with some sugarcane juice from the drink stand in the middle of the Food Village, and an hour later, I walked away completely stuffed and as happy as can be.

Probably one of the best hawker places in Singapore. The food court here boost a variety of restaurants that will meet everyone's taste. It is clean and well organized. If you go on a weekend, it will be crowded but having gone here on the weekday, we were luckily to get a seat and minimize our wait times at our favorite eats. Wings at Ah Hwee and oysters at Song Kee are my favorites. I think the general rule here is to hop on a line.

Love this place! There is so much going on and the food is delicious. The only problem is that there never seemed to be enough tables and the transportation to and from this place is horrible. Everything is really good but you must try includes satay and seafood. Come with a crowd and order a lot. Drink and be merry :) (Just remember to drench yourself in mosquito repellent before you come!)

For me, East Coast Park has always been a nice little getaway for when I tire of the shopping malls, packed trains, and crowded city life. I absolutely love the outdoor food court here, which is impressive both in terms of selection and taste: BBQ stingray, fried noodles, fried carrot cake, satay. And a tall glass of sugarcane juice to wash it all down. Come with a group, split up and grab your food from different stalls, and then hunt down a table to enjoy the feast together.

This is one of my favourite hawker centres in Singapore, located at the heart of East Coast Park. Going there without your own transport is inconvenient as public bus is only available during public holidays and weekends and to get there without splashing money on cab, you can take a public bus to Marine Parade (Laguna Park - nearest) and walk to the underpass behind this residential area. Do note the nearest MRT station is Bedok but there are future plans for a MRT station near the park - watch this space! What impressed me about this place is the variety and quality of food! If you want true Singapore food, this is an option for you. After enjoying your meal, you can take a stroll along the East Coast Park, rent a bicycle or do any other beach activities, as long as you enjoy that matters. For me, I love walking along beaches. Taking in the fresh air, enjoying the waves and ships passing by. There is also a Bedok Jetty which you can buy your food from the food centre and have it over there. Weekends will be very packed especially during the non-hazy period, so for tourists, I recommend this to your list of 'to-do in Singapore'.

These are the few stalls I always buy from. Song kee fried oysters - juicy succulent oysters Ah hwee chicken wings - crispy exterior, full of moisture inside the meat Hwa kee wonton noodles - nice bite to the noodles, char siew pork is sweet with yummy burnt bits

I LOVE this place. It gets crowded at times, but never unbearably so. It's so lovely to sip coconut juice or sugarcane juice, rare in other heartland coffee shops, and most importantly, the carrot cake!!!! Carrot cake ($3-4, $6 for combined black and white) is my all-time favorite Singaporean food, and the store in the Lagoon is my all-time favorite stall. It's close to the famous duck rice store and the A1 curry puff store: there are only a handful of carrot cake places in the whole food village, perhaps only this one. I'm always surprised that not many people know about this place, and I'm not even sure how my parents first heard about it. I always order the white one, and I love how crispy and delicate and soft it is. One order includes several rectangles of the rice cakes and egg combination, instead of one whole square as other hawkers tend to prefer. They're packaged into styrofoam boxes (with holes punched into them so that they don't get soggy), instead of the usual brown paper wrappers, which makes it perfect for take away. I'm usually a fan of the black variety with sweet sauce, but the white ones here converted me. It's a good portion that fills you up, but I'm always longing for more after I finish eating it. The wanton noodles and previously mentioned duck rice are also solid choices here. I've also heard the traditional porridge is a good pick. The wanton noodles come in quite small portions, so it may be worth upgrading to a medium or large size if you have a larger appetite. I personally love ordering the wantons in soup and eating that with the carrot cake! Always one of my first few stops when I'm back in Singapore!! I'm clearly missing it so much now.

This place has the BEST grilled chicken wings and the BEST chai dao kuay and the AWESOMEST sugarcane juice. Some say it's cos it's after a hard ride but... I disagree

Nice ambience with grilling of meats in the open and bustling family activity. My family and I love this place

Have to agree with other Yelper. Stall number 245 is reaping customers off by selling diluted sugarcane juice. And the coconut tasted very bland. When the lady brought out the coconut from the fridge, it was already opened. The juice was overflowing. May seemed like a good sign, but I think they added water or something in it. Enough said. Get drinks from other stall BUT 245. My review is 5 stars because everything else was perfect. Will be back for sure.

This is a good food court, largely due to the location in East Coast Park on the beach. This food court is mostly known for their seafood and probably satay. There is a large seafood selection from many stalls with an assortment of preparation styles, and one whole side of the area has stands with separate satay grilling stations. Unfortunately, other than seafood and satay, your selection is pretty limited, there are other options but the selection and variety is limited. The seating does tend to be full most times so you will need to spend some time looking around for your seat. The stalls are a bit aggressive as you walk by, but I didn't see anyone harassing anyone at the tables.

Coming here is like living the dream - dining by the sea, and all the best hawker food you can imagine: satay, grilled sambal stingray and sotong, sugarcane juice, hokkien mee, chai tow kway... finishing with a mountain of ice kachang, and washed down with some ice cold Tiger beer. Yes, food is the stuff of my dreams. Many families spend their weekends here, first cycling/roller blading, playing in the sand, picnic-ing (yes, also eating) or what nots, and finish up with a fabulously sumptuous dinner here by the beach. Mine was no different, and I spent many weekends growing up here, eating up a storm, with sand still between my toes. Over the years, the place has seen a number of facelifts (thankfully), and cleaners hustle about cleaning up tables so you can get a seat relatively quickly. Some of the stalls have been around for ages - places like Haron Satay (stall 55) rank among my dad's top five satay stalls across the country, and I remember the same old man fanning the embers of his charcoal pit for years now. If you only have limited eating capacity, make sure you try the Cheok Kee duck rice (stall 29) - my number one pick!

There is a Malay stall in there that has my favorite Tauhu Goreng in all of Singapore! I went there back in 2010 and then again in 2012 and the quality had not changed. Most popular at night, I was grateful that a few stalls (including the one I like) were open during lunchtime. The sugar cane juice can be hit or miss there...I've had really good and bad there.

chicken wings!!!!!!!!!!! must get here! the end.

I love this food court! Nice layout and has my favorite satay. A bit out of the way but worth the drive!

Stalls to try for healthier but delicious food fare are the popiah stall (stall 40) and the adjacent fish porridge stall (stall 39). Popiah is the best i ever tried in Singapore.

I remember a long time ago what a treat it was to come here and eat. There were so many things to look forward to. The satay bee hoon by the brothers, not there anymore, the wanton noodles, amazing satay etc.. This place is like wine, get better as it grows older! better food! cleaner tables and more importantly, cleaner toilets!! love love love love!!! :D

Came here after our meal at Jumbo because we wanted to try and fit in as much good quality Asian food as we can in the three days we had in Singapore. We walked around and ordered some clams, more sambal kanagkong, satay chicken and beef sticks and chicken wings. The clams and satay sticks were awesome but I preferred the sambal kangkong at Jumbo and the chicken wings were pretty average. We come here every time we come to Singapore (for holiday or a stopover) and it's great every time. Must go!

Satay and wings are mad legit here. Delish. Everything else is comprable to other hawker centers in Singapore. It's nice being by the water here. One thing that is really not awesome is how much of a pain it is to get a table. This place gets mad crowded.

Great place to savour the local delights of Singapore. What's good here: Satay beehoon, bbq seafood, satay, beef kway teow. It's very close to the beach, so cycle/blade/run at the beach and fill your tummy here for cheap!

Heng Heng Coffee stall should be avoided at all costs. The young at the stall is low and meticulous but his middle-aged partner with long, unkempt hair is very rude and uncouth. When I was ordering my drinks, I had already ordered my drinks and the young man was attending to me when this other guy butted in. He glared and pointed with his finger asking "hello, hello...you, you, what do you want! I asked you, what do you want!". His tone and attitude was simply horrible. Is this how you treat your customers?

A great selection of sea food and a fantastic view. I ordered couple of Tiger beers with my Pepper Crab and went to town with it! It was the most amazing crab I had ever had. Also, they have several Satay stands and all seems legit. I Could not try everything with one visit but I have not had a bad dish there yet!
