If you know, you know. I used to get these everytime - Eden Noodles’ Dumplings in Spicy Sauce are the ultimate student staple! Cheap and filling, but totally craveable and worth the walk down from (and walk back up to) campus. It goes beyond the flavour-packed punch and spice kick - it’s a handmade labour of love from the lady by the window, shaping every bite with skill and maternal love. 

When I told you their Hot Honey is unreal I meant it. The chewy but light crust, spicy halal pepperoni, addictive hot honey… if you’ve ever wondered what joy and comfort tastes like, marry Bari’s Deluxe Pepperoni Pizza . From foodie to business connoisseur, Bari’s passion and dedication to his dream is truly inspiring and unforgettable - it’s a sell-out at every pop-up for a reason! 

Yes, you can actually trust all the TikTokers who rave about Vietnam Cafe - and their Spare Ribs Rice Noodles Soup aren’t something to miss. It’s a bowl of comfort that's always there for you, no matter what. Winning nominator Joshua Ho wrote that it’s been his favourite from age of 10 - and 30 years later - it remains the same. Let this be your sign; GO. 

Iconic in itself, Prego is a consistent – that circulates the group chat when you’re making dinner plans with friends. Whether you’re there to celebrate, get pics, or just for the vibes, their duck risotto is the star of the show. When ordering Prego’s Risotto All'Anatra , expect tax from your peers - it’s comforting, creamy and so moreish that everyone will want a bite.

If you look up the definition of “elevated” Bar Magda’s Noel’s Charcoal Steak is the first result. Think juicy and charcoal-grilled, topped with fresh greens that make every bite pop - and don’t get started on the sauce! Simple but sophisticated, the soy butter sauce will have you in a chokehold and get you wiping up every drop from the plate.
