Geylang is mainly known for 2 things- being the red light district of Singapore and having lots of good food. Here's a 'foodie' recommendation:
Location: Geylang Lor 8 Opposite You Tiao Da Wang (Yong He Dou Jiang) - Next to the restaurant selling Frog's Legs Porridge. By the way, the Frog's Legs Porridge are famous and tastes superb too!
Name of restaurant: Zhong Hua Mei Shi Guan (I think that's how you pronounce it).
Type of food: Original Chinese Food from different parts of China.
Specialty:
1. The Original Chinese 'Kebabs', Yang Rou Chuan, and the BBQed corn 'chao yu mi'.
2. The Dong Gu Rou Shi Chao Mian (i.e. mushroom fried noodles).
3. The soups are good too.
4. Imported Beer that you hardly find anywhere else - Harbin Beer @ $6 per Big bottle which is really cheap for beer that size. I don't usually like beer, but Harbin is quite light, so I like it.
Price range: A little more expensive than your coffeeshop's wanton mee or chicken rice but definitely cheaper than GRAZE (which we went previously)! $6-$10 depending on whether there's beer. The soft drinks are expensive, I usually buy my drinks from the nearby 7/11.
Customer Service: Good. they cater to your every need.
Ambience: Your standard coffeeshop ambience. You know Geylang, so lower your standards when you dine here! There're no rats or cockroaches scurrying around, but don't expect much.
I've brought about 8 people there to eat, and ALL of them have good comments/feedback. If you've been to China and you miss the food there, this is almost the real thing. The cooks, waiters and waitresses are all from China.
