Wok Hey (Alexandra Retail Centre)

Wok Hey's Alexandra Retail Centre outlet sits at #01-12 on the ground floor of ARC, 460 Alexandra Road, a few minutes' walk from Labrador Park MRT on the Circle Line. It is close to the offices along the Alexandra corridor, and it keeps slightly shorter hours than most branches: 10.30am to 9pm daily, according to Wok Hey's outlet list.

The chain is a homegrown stir-fry brand that fries each box to order over a high flame. Egg fried rice and Shanghai fried rice are the mainstays, made with Japanese rice, alongside ramen and udon, and you pick grilled chicken, braised beef, prawns or blue swimmer crab as the topping.

To order direct, open the ARC page on Wok Hey's pick-up site, build your box with any add-ons, pay online and collect at the counter once it is ready. That route skips the delivery apps entirely. Halal status is not stated, so check with Wok Hey if it matters to you. Other branches, such as Tiong Bahru Plaza, have their own listings.
