Welcome to the world of hawker centres, where nothing costs over $10, local dishes<\/a> are aplenty and queuing for more than 10 minutes is justified. We can never get enough of favourites like laksa<\/a>, chicken rice<\/a> and nasi lemak<\/a>! If you’re unsure where to find the best of the best, we’ve put together a list of all the popular hawker centres in Singapore. You’ll never go hungry again\u2026<\/p>\n

The newest food centre in Singapore\u2019s northeast opened in 2024 to much fanfare. Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre<\/a> boasts more than 30 stalls, ranging from familiar favourites to Michelin-approved brands. Diners can enjoy plates of Eng Kee\u2019s fried chicken wings, halal-certified Chinese-style nasi lemak, and sweet min jiang kuehs courtesy of Munchi Pancakes. The best part? This sprawling hawker centre has two drink stalls, so you don\u2019t have to wait long to quench your thirst.

2. Changi Village Hawker Centre<\/h3>\n

If you find yourself in the far east (read: Changi<\/a>) and you’re wondering where to fill your stomach\u2026 well, we know the one place worthy of your time. Enter Changi Village Hawker Centre, which has been around for over 50 years and is widely regarded as one of Singapore\u2019s food havens.

Who says there aren’t any hawker centres near Orchard Road? This iconic food destination, which was featured in Crazy Rich Asians, is the go-to for anyone who’s new to Singapore as well as local residents. Plenty of seafood stalls are waiting for you here; if that’s not your thing, savour other dishes such as fried carrot cake, satay, fishball noodles, and more.

This massive dining enclave is home to over 100 food stalls, all focusing on different specialities. There\u2019s chicken rice from Tian Tian (the late, great Anthony Bourdain was a fan), wholesome congee from Zhen Zhen Porridge and loads more. Oh, and Maxwell Food Centre<\/a> stays open really late for times when you get the mee pok munchies after a night out.

5. Golden Mile Food Centre<\/h3>\n

Golden Mile Food Centre<\/a>‘s slice of heaven is a little on the \u2018hidden\u2019 spectrum. For starters, it\u2019s not located near an MRT station<\/a> \u2013 the nearest two, Nicoll Highway and Lavender, are quite a walk away. Still, that\u2019s no excuse not to check out the amazing food selection. People have travelled here from afar for the gutsy sup tulang<\/a>, a thick fiery red mutton stew served with soft bread. Other hot picks? Beef noodles, Hokkien mee, and Teochew braised duck. Walk off the feast by dropping by Golden Mile Tower.

6. Old Airport Road Food Centre<\/h3>\n

Temporarily closed for renovations until October 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little out of the way for those of us who don\u2019t live in the Geylang or Kallang area, but this decades-old food centre is great for Western food<\/a> (head straight for Western Barbeque) and HK-style chee cheong fun (at Freshly Made Chee Cheong Fun stall, no less). Fyi, Old Airport Road Food Centre is currently closed for repairs and renovation works; it’s slated to reopen in October.

This two-storey hawker centre is known for several things: prawn noodles from The Old Stall Hokkien Street Famous Prawn Mee, fruit juice mee siam from Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa, and curry chicken noodles from Heng Kee Curry Chicken Bee Hoon. Come with an empty stomach, we say.
