Thye Hwa Heng Canteen is a hidden canteen in Paya Lebar

While we normally stay around the surrounding malls, we changed things up on our recent visit and cycled around the quiet industrial park located just behind the bustling SingPost Centre. That’s when we stumbled upon Thye Hwa Heng Canteen: an old-school canteen hidden amongst a sea of red-brick warehouses, serving up wallet-friendly eats.
