Christina MicheleAugust 3, 2016Coco Shake Shack stall (across from famous Tian Tian Hianese chicken rice) - coconut shake (pictured) or Thai tea. Best way to cool off + stay hydrated. Warning: addictive! I crave them daily!

Toby KwanJune 26, 2013興興 #31 ondeh ondeh and tapioca cake. They have light, wobbly bodies. Gula melaka and pandan flavours come through in the ondeh ondeh, but the tapioca cake and shredded coconut topping are a bit bland.

You don't need another person telling you to go here for the chicken rice, do you? Or maybe you do. Go here for the chicken rice.- Wantan noodles with a twist. Fu Ji Fu Zhou Yu Yuan Wanton Mee #01-06 serves this local favourite with Fuzhou fishballs - stuffed with pork. Generous ingredients
- Rice congee. Zhen Zhen 01-54 prepares smooth & comforting rice porridge. Popular orders: fish, chicken+century egg, pork. Stir in the brownish & salty chai por (chopped fermented radish) for flavour
- Roast meats. Expect long queues at #01-71 Fu Shun Shao La Mian Jia 福顺 (锦记) 烧腊面家 during lunchtimes. Enjoyed moist, old school roasted duck & pork 👍🏼 Chilli sauce packs a punch too! This combo $4.50
Alexey MorozovJanuary 8, 2018Great selection of food and drinks from Southeast Asia. You can have a big lunch for $5! Try the chicken rice from Hong Xiang stall - worth the wait!
- Braised duck noodles ($5). The thick soy sauce gravy from Oriental Stall #01-19 was so aromatic, it brought me back in time. Lots of flavour. Meat was tender too. Extra braised egg for 80-cents
Jef GorisJuly 9, 2019Great food ar good price. We had the delicious kimchi chicken ramen from ‘Korean Cuisine’. our kids had a nice burger at ‘Lad and Dad’. The Food Centre even got a small beer shop with beer on tap.
- Mr. Appam #01-99. Genuine recipe, by Viet chef. Stick to traditional appams (plain, egg, cheese) or with firm toppings. This ground peanut $2.80 looks nice on pic, but messy to eat, as it spills over
Megan ElizabethDecember 30, 2017The braised pork at Duck Noodle Oriental Stall was killer. 100% underwhelmed by the famous chicken and rice spots.
- Kopi (local coffee). Ho Peng #01-27 sees a constant stream of customers all morning. Kopi-O (espresso-like) is thick & bitter. Order with sugar and/or milk (condensed/evaporated) to taste
Chris LeeApril 22, 2018The difference of $5 (extra few pieces of meat) and $3 portion of chicken rice. If you do not mention that you want $3, automatically the lady boss will served you the $5.Take note 🤓
- Char kway teow (fried flat rice noodles). Wet & savoury-sweet style from Marina South Delicious Food #01-15. Their bigger $5 plate can feed 2 adults!
Stervey LimJune 19, 2015#stervylicious #meesiam - best weekend :) found a hidden stalll at a corner selling mee siam.. :p ... Very interesting gravy n u must try ... Sold by a Chinese owner. - HaHa MeiShi /#01-22
- Fried bee hoon (rice vermicelli). A popular local breakfast fare. I enjoyed a plate from #01-18, topping it up with stir-fried cabbage & a fried egg
- Thai food @ Sisaket Thai Food #01-85. Nice alternative to local fare. Enjoyed my basil chicken rice $5.50. Individual rice & noodle dishes popular. Long wait on working day lunch time
- Pork chop fried rice ($6.50). Decent plate from Jiang Nan Wei Dao #01-62. Both pork chop & fried rice not as aromatic as King of Fried Rice, & pricier
Must try China Street Rickshaw Noodles. Only $1-1.50 per bowl. Tip: choose sides (ones you'd like fried up like egg, luncheon meat, fish cake, etc) and get number tag before Q-ing to order noodles.
Gabrielle KokAugust 25, 2013Zhen Zhen Porridge - with a selection of ingredients. Must try their raw fish salad!! And be prepare for the long queue
KC KooFebruary 5, 2015Stalls to go:Zhen Zheng Porridge #01-54 (Fish Porridge, raw fish salad)Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice #01-11 (Bean sprouts, chicken rice)Ah Tai Hainanese Chicken Rice #01-7 (crystal chicken feet,
- Johnny WangOctober 29, 2018(4/5) Spacious, clean(er), and neatly organized, with plenty of seating and fans to try to keep the heat at bay. Sit towards the outside if you want to stay cooler though!
Wong Seng WeeJanuary 6, 2017Full of good food! There is 1 store selling really unique porridge. The rice is cooked to the finest grain possible. First time eating such porridge
AdleyOctober 9, 2015For me the best food market in Singapore! Many stands so you will find all tastes od asia there! Fresh coconut is soooo yummy!!!
- Very lively hawker centre at night. Plenty of stalls open. A bonus for the many tourists who visit on the cooler hours of the day
Jerrald NgDecember 11, 2018Famous Tian Tian Chicken Rice (look out for blue signage) serves steamed chicken rice. Request to remove bones! Order sugarcane drink (with lemon) from any of the drink stalls. Avoid lunch timing.
Jeffrey KaoDecember 27, 2018EAT EVERYTHING!!! Laksa, Prawn Mee, Fried Turnip Cake, (the infamous) Tian Tian Chicken Rice, Char Kway Teow, and the list goes on.
Magdalena MrázkováOctober 9, 2014Brilliant place for tasting local cuisine at its best! Always grab a table before you start queuing at the food stalls. Recommend curry rice and coconut milk right from the coconut:)
WinslowAugust 28, 2017Get the duck noodles and or the mixed meat plate at stall 71. The guy is hilarious too!
Cynthia DrescherApril 4, 2013Curry chicken mee! Fresh sugarcane juice! The shaved ice desserts! OMG you're going to eat too much, but it's going to be worth the bellyache of trying to deal with a hot day on a full stomach.
SteveFebruary 1, 2016Home to Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken (as featured by Anthony Bourdain) and also Zhen Zhen Porridge.
Romeo HsuehDecember 6, 2016Tian Tian closes on Monday, so tried the brother store Ah Cai 2 stalls next. Not as hygiene as it feels but tastes quite good. The Black Olive fried rice at the corner Thai store is fabulous though.- Wantan mee: Huang Ji Wanton Noodle (stall 26) serves a healthy-looking dish. Char siew slices r not overly sweet, generous kailan (Chinese kale). But the heroes r the nearly golf-ball size wantans!
- Chris LeeApril 22, 2018$5 for this plate of hainanese chicken rice. Gizzard is $3. Chicken is smooth, rice is very fragrant as per Anthony Bourdain commented.. Be prepare to queue for 20-30min
- Kueh Tutu. Fragrant ground peanut filling from Aftertaste #01-73. Grated coconut filling was not overly sweet. $3 for a box of 5. There’s also choc filling
- Hor fun (fried rice noodles in gravy). This fast food is served by Special Shanghai Tim Sum #01-92. Not much ingredients for my medium-sized order of $4 though
Silke Van OverloopSeptember 11, 2013Great place to meet up with the locals! When you visit Chinatown at lunchtime, share a table and have a traditional chicken rice. Great experience!
ShirpsDecember 23, 2012You can tell a place is good by the queues. Try the fish head bee hoon. Tian Tian can run out of chicken rice early so best try visiting before 8pm.- Frank CJanuary 5, 2020Make your own selection by going to all the different hawker food stalls. Satay lamb, fruit, fish broth, all tasty!
Nat MJanuary 18, 2013Given all the tips for the fish soup, I was expecting more. Still, it was very tasty nonetheless. Goreng Pisang was a win too: semi-riped, batter-covered banana fried to perfection. Have it hot!
Ben MackeyAugust 11, 2018So much choice!! But the most famous store here is the Hainanese chicken rice. If you are hungry, order something else too.
Varieties of local food, western and now even theres a small bar around the corner. Amazing. Local, foreigners, western, european, indians, like to come here.
samichlausDecember 2, 2015One of my favorite food courts. The rice chicken here is supposed to be famous but is sold out after lunch. Look for the busy stalls. In the evenings it gets much more relaxed.
Gary HorFebruary 3, 2016My 3 recommendations: Tian Tian Chicken Rice, Lao Ban Soya Beancurd and a Fried Sweet Potato Dumpling.- S CAugust 29, 2013Zhen zhen porridge. Long slow queue but definitely one of the best porridge in Singapore. Chicken and century egg porridge is very flavourful. closes 2pm, go after 1pm for shorter queues!
Steven WakuuMay 3, 2018Great collection of food stalls. Most notable for Tian Tian Chicken Rice, but there are many other delicious bakeries and food stalls to try!
a to-go place for the yummiest lunches! try Jin Hua fish bee hoon, Tian Tian or Ah Tai chicken rice, and not to forget, Lao Ban soya beancurd. Yum!
TingAugust 5, 2016Another great hawker in Chinatown with one of Sg's best chicken rice. Don't miss other snacks here too like peanut soup dessert, Hum Jin Pang (#01-28).
