Chinatown Complex Food Centre & Chinatown Food Street

HELLO! SINGAPORE TOURS GUIDE TO THE BEST HAWKER CENTRE

Located on Smith Street in the heart of Chinatown, Chinatown Food Street is a must-visit on the itinerary to have a taste of Singapore’s hawker scene. With more than 20 hawker stalls, shophouse restaurants, and pop-up kiosks, the street offers dishes that represent the main Chinese dialects, as well as the different races in Singapore.

The high-ceiling glass shelter with an in-built cooling system allows for more comfortable and fuss-free alfresco dining. The area is open from 11am to 11pm daily.

Travelers can take a break while exploring Chinatown to enjoy local food at these two spots. At Chinatown Complex Food Centre, seek out one-Michelin-starred Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle Stall (#02-126), where there is always a queue. Starting at S$2 per plate, it is one of the world’s cheapest Michelin-starred meals. At Lian He Bei

Ji Claypot Rice (#02-198/199), visitors can try slightly charred sweet soy sauce rice studded with chunks of meat. Over at Chinatown Food Street, the area has been converted into an alfresco food trail. Visitors should try Katong Keah Kee Fried Oysters (Stall 5) and Newton Circus Ahmad Ibrahim Satay (Stall 19) among the 24 street hawker stalls and six shophouse restaurants.
