What was once a wet market in the 1950s has become the popular Maxwell Food Centre today. One of its biggest draws is Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice (#01-10/11)—whose world-famous chicken rice beat chef Gordon Ramsay’s version in the Hawker Heroes Challenge. Also popular is the crispy, deep-fried oyster cake snack at Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake (#01-05) that has become a rare speciality. Another highlight is Zhen Zhen Porridge (#01-54) for its comforting bowls of thick porridge cooked with chicken or fish. The stall closes after selling out so be sure to get there early before it’s all wiped out.
A perfect place for a food stop on your private customised tour!
