Adam Food Centre

One of the smaller but popular hawker center, perhaps due to its location just across the road from the Botanical Garden. Aside from a few hawker centers in places like Little India, this is perhaps one with the highest concentration of Halal (Malay, Indian Moslem, with one or two Javanese) stalls in SG. There are also a few non-Halal stalls as well, such as the chain chicken rice and Hokkien mie. Went there a few times during visits in the area for breakfast and lunch. The nasi lemak stalls seem to be always having long lines in front of them. Tried the Sutra (?) Nasi Lemak, the rice and otah were well-spiced and marinated, although the ikan bilis was somehow wasn't as crunchy as what I expected. The Indian rojak was pretty nice, with spicy peanut sauce.

We queued for Nasi Lemak from Adam's Nasi Lemak but was disappointed when the owner announced that they were closed as the food was sold out. Bought from Siti Nur Liyana instead - turned out good - for $5! We enjoyed the Indian Rojak from Adam's Indian Rojak. The 'paru' (lung) was really tender! Found that the Tray Return counter was clean & well-maintained. Toilet was nice & clean too!

So many halal stall still open, time now is 9pm on friday night. Also the food that i bought mutton ribs soup, taste soo delicious. And youbadd on some white pepper powder and soy sauce (kicap) make the vroth taste heavenly.. (not exaggerating) 😉

Nice, clean and airy food court. Food is majority Malay/Muslim/Mamak. Little variety; many stalls offer similar items; nasi lemak, fried rice and fried noodles. Well patronised by Botanic Gardens weekenders. No comments on the food; I only had teh tarik and curry puff.

Some empty stalls or sold out early not plenty options. They have section for halal and non halal food. Price is similar to other hawker places. It has open air in the middle but for those who concern about catching bad smells on their clothes or hair not advisable to come by. Otherwise within this area you dont really have lots of choice for local food. Dont think its worth coming for tourist.

One of the better food centre in Singapore! The layout makes it easy to navigate around the different stores and there are sufficient food options here! There is also a water cooler and toilet that is easily accessible, making it convenient for anyone that wishes to dine here!

Very decent food, relatively affordable prices. Parking is insufficient during peak periods on weekends. Very clean and well-maintained. Many options for Muslims.

Indian rojak at Adam's Indian rojak is excellent, especially the gravy. The char tow kuey & sambal stingray was good. Airy & clean & was not too crowded on a Thursday early evening.

One of my favourite hawker centres. It has the Adam Road Noo-Cheng Prawn Noodle and the Adam Fishball Noodle. The ice kachang was very refreshing here.

My coworker took me to the Adam food centre for nasi lemak. This Hawker centre caters to a more local crowd and gets really crowded during lunch time. I had the nasi lemak from Selena Rasa Nasi Lemak. They make everything to order so the line will move pretty slow. I ordered the royal flush which comes out to a little over 5 Sing dollars. The fried chicken is crispy and juicy and my favorite part of the plate. The rice is fragrant and aromatic. I didn't care so much for the paste component in the banana leaf. Additionally, I would have my egg cooked over easy and not have a fully cooked yolk. Overall, the dish was tasty but wouldn't want to wait in line for 30 minutes again.

I always thought Adam Road Food Centre is too far away to make the trip for some local delights. That is, until the Circle Line opened, and suddenly it is quite convenient for those living near the Circle Line stations to get there. Now I will head there once a month or once every 2 months for either breakfast or lunch. It is not so crowded before 1230pm. Adam Road FC is best known for the nasi lemak. I have tried it twice in my life and frankly I think it is quite over rated. It is nice but not enough for me to join the never-ending long queue. I much prefer the bee hoon goreng with fried egg from the Indian stall next to the famous nasi lemak. Next to it is the Indian rojak stall which has pretty good selection and dip. The only draw back is there is a minimum spend on the Indian Rojak so you cannot just get 1 or 2 items. I also like the mee soto stall which tends to be sold out by 12pm. The fish ball noodles stall is also very good. The fish balls are bouncy and sweet. For teh halia or teh tarik, I like ordering from the stall nearer the fish ball noodle place or next to the Chinese dessert stall. The stall nearer the Indian rojak has very diluted bandung (rose syrup drink) and weak teh halia. Yelp Feb 2014 Challenge: 8/28

Rekindled love for a school days food haven, which I recently rediscovered with convenient access now available via the DTL Botanic Garden MRT stop. Delicious flavourful prawn mee broth that is quite unlike any other, fragrant tasty black carrot cake that is not too oily, arguably one of the best around. The famous yummy Nasi Lemak stall is not available for dinner unfortunately. Do budget time for queues during peak hours.

I came here twice, once via a UYE, then came here again. Adam Road is fairly accessible thanks to the MRT where it's a short 5 minute walk from the Botanic Gardens MRT. I was fascinated by this Food Centre because Andrew Zimmern came here. I've tried the following here: 1. (2 stars) Sup Tulang (Mutton Bone soup). It's ok, but if you get a hold of a bad bone, which I did, it can be disturbingly gamey, and for $S10 an order, there's no room for imperfection. Doubt I'd ever want this again. 2. (2 stars) Rojak, I tried this twice. You pay a la carte for pieces of various things from liver, squid, shrimp, etc. that are deep fried twice. Conceptually, it's gross and by the second time, I concluded that it's fried grossness and the sweet sauce is too sweet. Just not my thing I guess. 3. (4 stars) Prawn Noodle Soup, excellent quality in the broth here. Noodle's good. 4. (4 stars) Refreshments, the Ginger Milk Tea is super good and cheap here. 5. (3 stars) The Nasi Lemak is supposed to be very good. I had it and it's good but nothing memorable. I wouldn't wait in a large queue to have it. All in all, I guess your rating on Adam Road Food Centre will correlate over whether you prefer Malay/Indian/Muslim style Singaporian Food. I'm not into it because there's too much sweet added to the flavoring. The prawn noodle soup is the only item that pleases my palette.

Adam is crowded during lunch and dinner so I usually come for late breakfast, afternoon tea or late supper. Parking is limited and make sure you have coupons. I am not giving this place 4-stars because US VP Joe Biden was here but it was does have good stalls and you need to know which one. Our favorites are.... 1. Mee Soto and Mee Rebus. Always long line and $3.00. Must add "bargedil" for 50 cents and worth it. Serving size has shrink but still sedap. 2. Mamak teh tarik and teh halia still authentic 3. Nasi Lemak - There are 2 good stalls and expect long lines. I tried both but the one at the end is just so so and service is slow. The better one closed on Friday and I cannot remember the name. The rule is follow the long queue lines. 4. Fruit Juice - Must try them here for cheap and good. 5. Indian Mee Goreng is really good here. I have to agree that ventilation is poor and does get stuffy and hot during lunch time. Evening is better but parking is a problem. Since I am back to Singapore every 1-2 years, I definitely visit here for Mee Soto and Mee Rebus.

I walked past what looked like a somewhat ramshackle building located amoungst a number of churches and sort of scratched my head wandering what it was. However, as soon as I saw the universal symbol for leave your tray here I suddenly realised that it was a hawker's market, so I decided to pin-point this place to have my lunch. I only discovered it by accident, but I have come to realise that this places are almost uniquely Singaporean. I always have trouble working out what I want, though you know which are the popular hawkers (and apparently some of then even have a celebrity status) because there are huge lines outside their stall. This one does get quite crowded at lunchtime - I had some difficulty finding a seat, but I must say that I do love the atmosphere of this place (even though it is quite small).

This is a must place to visit every time I went to singapore. The food was great and the place is pretty clean too! This place is always crowded, however I always managed to find a place to sit. I really love the food from "ADAMS RD SEAFOOD" stall. my fav is their sambal stingray. Their sambal stingray is one of my reasons to keep returning back to singapore however today I tried their ikan siakap sambal. IT TASTED EVEN BETTER! Definitely worth the visit!

Teh Halia from Taj Mahal ($1) - 2 stars Diluted and not spicy. Tasted like water. Soursop juice from Fruitopia ($2) - 3 stars Way too sweet. Would ask for less sugar the next time. Mee hoon pattaya ($6) - 2.5 stars Way overpriced for noodles and egg! Not impressed.

I actually come by really often (more than once a week), usually when I miss a bus and the next ones a while away (there's a bus stop by College Green nearby). It's a ripoff, although you see many regulars and recognizable faces in spite of that. The prawn noodles are famous, but it tastes pretty salty, yet flat. And my mom likes to use the word "cheating" wrt amount you find in your bowl! The nasi lemak is famous too, but it's so-so only.. Probably only famous because the portion seems quite big and you get a huge piece of fried chicken. The prata (I think they have a few stalls that sell prata though) is not bad, especially the fish head curry, but it sells out super early (I went at 9am and no fish curry already :S). There's a really good drinks stall that sells good teh and teh halia though. It's quite obvious which one - the one with a queue and doesn't need to tout! Their Masala is disappointing though. That said, it's hard to find cheaper food (relatively speaking...) in the area located so conveniently. If you have a car, can check out Greenwood area also (you can walk too, about half hour tops - it's like 2 or 3 bus stops up and a walk in). They have 2 stalls selling good fishball noodles and malay food there amidst the bars and restaurants.

Sorry to say but I'm not fond of Adam Road Food Centre, despite being a big fan of hawkers and following them around Singapore... I would much rather hop on a 165 and be in Holland Village's Hawker or go to one of Chinatown's more obscure hawkers for more fun. The ventilation here is horrible (only topped by Chomp Chomp!) and I remember ordering prawn noodles and getting a small bowl of noodle soup ($4) with anything else besides some yellow egg noodles. Wow. The saving graces here are the shaved ice stall which serves a mean Ice Kachang ($0.80 if I recall correctly) and it's a place to go if you're sick of Island Creamery and need some local flavour to spice up your life. Wouldn't go for the food though.

wow the food at ibrahim mee stall tasted so good reminds me of the 90's indian food i used to eat(must try). not only this but also the nasi lemak shop has one of the best nasi lemak that can be found in singapore. these are some jems in adam road hawker centre. these are the must try food and man this place is so underrated.great food comes with great people. awesome service and free wifi. and not only that but also drinks taht comes in large quantities with just only $2.

A good hawkercenter for those who like Malay/Indian style foods. There is not many chinese food stalls here, among few of them are the prawn mee and fishball mee stalls
