Kacang Pool Mustafa is a heritage hawker stall at Geylang Serai Market that has been serving its signature kacang pool since 1952, when founder Mr Mustafa first peddled the dish around the Geylang Serai area. Today, his son Nordin continues the family legacy, preparing a modified Malay version of ful medames, the Middle Eastern stewed fava bean dish. Each portion features fava beans cooked down in a rich, spiced gravy, topped with a fried egg and garnished with chopped red onions and green chilli, served alongside toasted French bread for dipping. The recipe has been refined over decades to suit local palates while retaining its Middle Eastern roots, creating a hearty, wholesome breakfast that is both exotic and comfortingly familiar. The stall operates from early morning to early afternoon, and its popularity means steady queues of regulars and curious newcomers alike. For a breakfast experience that bridges Middle Eastern tradition and Malay heritage, Kacang Pool Mustafa is an essential stop at Geylang Serai.Operating Hours

23rd Aug 2023, I bought 2 packets of Kacang fool at this stall and tried it out. The taste was horrible and texture is watery. Very disappointed with kacang fool served by this stall. I will never patronise this stall again.

The best Kacang Pool in town. The roti is sometimes too crunchy. But the kacang pool is good.
