Worth it for / Skip if
Not on record yet. Clauses here are generated only from named fields — a published price, a booking route, the verified hours — and this venue carries too few of them to draw the line honestly. Nothing is inferred to fill the gap.
What it costs
No priced item is on record for this venue. Forkin publishes a price only where a dated public source carries it, so nothing is estimated here.
How to get a seat
No online booking channel is on record for this venue. Verified hours are not on record either, so call ahead before travelling.
What to expect
- Getting there — Tai Seng MRT, 6 minutes on foot · 548 MacPherson Road, Singapore 368227.
- Dietary requests, dress code and group size — not on record. Ask when you call ahead.
The longer version
Old Street Cafe, the MacPherson Road Nanyang cafe from the KL Traditional Chilli Ban Mee team, is assessed on one independent, dated assessment of this outlet: Daniel Food Diary found the noodles slightly springy and the chilli mild rather than fiery, though carrying noticeable heat. The band rests on that single source.
What the published coverage says, assessed by the Forkin editorial desk from 1 linked source — not a personal dining review. Every source behind it is under How this was assessed.
Signature dishes
No dish is named for this venue in any source on record. Dishes are listed here only where an official source names them, so none are guessed from menus or reviews.
Opening hours
Day-by-day hours are not verified for this venue. Hours are published here only once a dated source has been read for the whole week, so a partial week is never shown as a full one.

WORTH A LOOK · band 7.0–8.4 (base 7.5)
The Forkin Evidence Score is a transparent calibration of the published evidence behind this venue's editorial stamp — not a personal dining rating, and never derived from Google data. It starts from the stamp's base value, applies the five evidence adjustments below, then clamps the result inside the stamp's band.

WORTH A LOOK
Confidence: lowForkin desk assessment of attributable public coverage — not a personal dining review.
Provisionally restored 3 September 2026 on one dated, exact-outlet DanielFoodDiary assessment. Batch 48 corrects criticCalibre from 'established' to 'independent' under rule B46-R1 — DanielFoodDiary registers as an independent publisher on its own disclosures, not an established title — and the score recomputes to 7.2. No second qualifying editorial assessment exists, so confidence stays low and the limitation stays disclosed.

DanielFoodDiary (danielfooddiary.com) · 28 December 2025Foodpanda (foodpanda.sg) · contextFacebook (facebook.com) · contextEatbook (eatbook.sg) · 3 February 2026 · contextCaveat: This provisional assessment stands on a single countable source; Foodpanda and Facebook still cannot supply a second source under the standing user-generated-content exclusion, and the Eatbook item remains a dated new-openings report without a tasting verdict. Batch 48 finds that sole counted publisher registers as independent under rule B46-R1, so the stamp no longer satisfies the established-publisher condition of the single-source exception; it is queued for withdrawal review and the band is held only pending that decision. A targeted additional search returned only the same DanielFoodDiary and Eatbook items, social posts and delivery listings; no further qualifying independent review was found.
