Incredible food and a great open air atmosphere for lunch after exploring Chinatown. So enjoyed dumplings and spicy peanut noodles!

This place is a food hub in Singapore’s Chinatown. Today, I ordered Hainanese chicken rice — it tasted even better than I expected and wasn’t expensive. I also tried the xiao long bao from a Michelin-recognized stall, which was delicious and also reasonably priced. The overall atmosphere was a bit hot, but not too bad. If you’re visiting Chinatown, this is definitely a spot worth stopping by — there’s a huge variety of food to enjoy.

Bought noodles at #02-089. Owners hand-make their noodles, and are able to customise some ingredients according to customers’ needs, eg choice of chinese lettuce or spinach, or allowing an additional 50 cents worth of veg to be added ( so that i can use my $5 CDC voucher). Food’s cooked in Malaysian/Ipoh style. Friendly and approachable owners. Can use CDC voucher. Worth a try

It’s exactly what a hawker center should be. Dozens of stalls, plenty of options, buzzing with energy. The food is cheap, tasty, and there’s something for everyone. Nothing fancy, just great flavors in a lively setting.

Chinatown Hawker Centre offers a wide variety of dishes to choose from, making it a great spot to explore Singapore’s local cuisine. While the flavours are generally average and not particularly exceptional, the experience of dining here is authentic, as it’s a popular choice among locals. The atmosphere is bustling, with a lively mix of people and aromas from various stalls. It’s a good place to grab a quick, affordable meal and immerse yourself in the local food culture. Whether you’re looking for classic hawker fare or something new to try, there’s plenty to satisfy your cravings.

Some of the traditional dishes have “disappeared” and the main reason is stall owners have retired and the new generations are not keen to learn and continue the traditional yummy dishes. SAD SAD SAD 😞😔😩.

A great place to find souvenirs and enjoy a variety of food at quite affordable prices.

If you’re in Chinatown, the hawker center is a must-visit. It’s super diverse, with a huge variety of Asian food all in one place. The xiao long bao from a Michelin stall was easily the best thing we had—so juicy and flavorful. The Pad Thai was also really delicious. The place can get a bit loud with all the people, but it adds to the lively vibe. Just a heads-up—after you eat, you need to carry your tray to a collection area for the staff to clean. And don’t skip the sugarcane juice—it’s the perfect, refreshing drink after all that food.

Located on the 2nd floor of Chinatown Complex, this massive hawker centre is home to hundreds of stalls offering everything from Michelin-rated soya sauce chicken to traditional claypot rice, handmade xiao long bao, fried kway teow & kopi. Prices are affordable & the variety is unbeatable. While it can get crowded during peak hours, the atmosphere is vibrant & authentically local. A must-visit spot for food lovers wanting to experience the best of Singapore’s hawker culture under one roof.

Good place to eat although there are better places. Ambient is a bit dark and run down.
