The story of Jalan Besar is about two former swamps, one near the Rochor River and the other near the Kallang River. Most of the area between the two points has been restored, and it now houses a variety of budget-friendly restaurants and cafés, as well as cool places worth visiting. Check out these recommended places to visit when you are in the area.

Dynasty Fried Porridge
The name of this zichar stall’s signature dish begs the question: how does one fry a normally watery dish? This dish is served in a claypot with generous topping of pork lard, fried shallots, and cuttlefish, ensuring that every mouthful is bursting with that signature zichar smoky wok hei flavour we have come to love. Complete your meal with their KL Hokkien mee and claypot loh shu fun (aka mee tai mak) that is just as tasty and will make a great meal for the family.
