"Nestled among the historic shophouses of the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood, this namesake wet market and hawker centre has evolved from its 1951 origins as Seng Poh Road Market—once a gathering point for itinerant hawkers and a community nexus—into today’s charming two-storey building, rebuilt between 2004 and 2006 and renamed in 1993. Its Art Deco elements, playful exterior murals, and an impressive retinue of over 200 hawker stalls, many of which have withstood multiple renovations, define the appeal." - Alvin Lim
