Chomp Chomp Centre

Favourite hawker centre !! I have been a regular diner at Chomp Chomp since I was young. The standard still feels around the same. I usually get the sambal stingray, oyster omelette, satay, bbq wings and carrot cake. The seats inside the centre are sometimes stuffy but the ones outside and at the back are really nice. love love love

Lots of local dishes to choose. After renovation the place is still SMALL. Come early if you like a good seat. Better ventilation with the huge fans. Some of the stalls are no longer there.

3/August/2025 Had fried carrot cake, fried hokkien mee, fried oyster omelette & sugarcane juice for dinner, was good! Relatively small food centre as compared to other food centres in Singapore but offers quite a few notable local food here. Ventilation can be better though. Parking can be a challenge if you arrive during the peak hours. Opens daily for early dinner onwards

Visited this hawker centre over the weekend and had a pleasant experience. The place was clean, well-ventilated, and surprisingly cool even during peak hours. There was a water point available, which was convenient. Food were mostly Satays, Hokkien mee, and fried carrot cake. It also wasn’t too crowded, which made dining more comfortable. A nice spot for a relaxed meal without the usual weekend rush.

Closed from 27 October 2025 to 26 January 2026 for renovations and upgrading works. This is a great food centre with a diverse selection of hawker food. Been eating here when i was younger and living in Serangoon Gardens. My current fav char kway teow is located at this food centre and they have quite a few good stalls serving BBQ sambal stingray. On my last visit I was surprised to see that Chomp Chomp isn't as crowded as it used to be back in the day. On the bright side, it’s way easier to get a seat now.

Ate the satay jawa from The Warung. Not bad. Delicious mutton satay. Spicy soya sauce and peanut gravy was given. Tahu goreng also recommend. If you like spicy, please do try.

The best hawker for beer and hokkien mee. I came here a lot of time when want some beers, satay and chicken wings at serangoon area. Chicken wings and satay juicy, sting ray bbq also fresh and nice, hokkien mee is the must tried. Carrot cake, sugar cane and rojak also good.

Good fried Hokkien mee, rojak, satays and fried carrot cake. They will be close fur 3 months renovation 27/10 till 27/1/26.

Amazing food every time we visit. The BBQ stingray, satay with peanut sauce, and ah hock fried hokkien noodles are absolutely delicious. Refreshing drinks. Lively and social atmosphere. A must visit!

If your hungry, head on down to Serangoon Gardens iconic Chomp Chomp Hawker Center. Lots of stalls selling the same type of dishes from seafood to landfood to different types of non alcoholic drinks. Great place to go if your hungry but finding a place to seat is a chore. Too many people too few seats. The answer is go early! I liked the chicken wings, bbq seafood and various types of other local food. Yum yum... Got to go... Foods comin'...

This place is bomb Try their stingyrAy and calamari and sugarcane juice. Enough said

This Food center is very limited to its options and the cooks are lacking in customer service

Came here for the first time last year, and really loved both the atmosphere and the food at Chomp Chomp. Definitely an old school type of hawker center, so be prepared to sweat it out during your meal, but they really do have all of the best of Singaporean street food concentrated in one small area. Either go early for dinner or really late to avoid the crowds and be able to find a table easily. We might have eaten everything available that night, but standouts were the sambal stingray, satay, char kway teow, rojak, and sugar cane juice by the pitcher. A bit of a trek from the usual touristy areas, but worth the effort to get to, and surprisingly, not terribly expensive to get to by taxi from town.

It was pretty good. I had seen some great reviews and recommendations before I went, so I was expecting a lot more. A lot of the food was seafood, which isn't typically my style, so just be aware of that before you venture out here. We were staying just down the street, so I was an easy walk. I would say check it out if you can make it here!

Definitely hyped up and unfortunately this food center didn't live up to it in my opinion. Many people who've visited Singapore have raved about this place and so I had to check it out. It is true what people say about the following: - it is a smaller food center than others - poor ventilation and smokiness inside, outside tables would be more ideal - busy crowds and you have to hover or get hovered by people waiting for tables - many stalls selling the exact same thing - lots of tourists with some locals I found it weird that of all the hawker food stalls I've been to that this one was the most chaotic in that the people working at the stalls would try to get your attention to go and purchase from their stall. I thought it was too much and not really necessary. Tried lots of food and it was good and tasty. Only thing is that I don't think I'd return here specifically just for it. There are other centers that have food that have more variety and good eats too. One thing that is nice, is for most of the stalls, you order at the stalls and tell them your table number and then they deliver the food to you. Whereas other food centers it may be self-serve only. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the stalls but I did try to check out more of the stalls on this hungrygowhere food guide so it is similar:http://www.hungrygowhere.com/dining-guide/hawker/hawker-guide-chomp-chomp-food-centre-*aid-74703101/ - sambal BBQ stingray: a first time trying it and to my surprise it was yummy. I say to my surprise because I didn't know what to expect and it was good. I'd like to try it from other stalls too - popiah and pie tee: tasty. Spicy is more enjoyable for me - sugar cane: good - satay: small but fine 60 cents per stick pork chicken mutton - hokkien mien: took the longest and came out piping hot which I appreciate! - curry noodles: weakest dish of the night - Rojak: not my cup of tea but had a decent amount of shrimp paste - chicken wings: okay Tip: get there early to reserve a table Tip: hokkien mee from that Ah Hock does take some time to make and bring to your table so I'd order it first. They said 25-30 min for us Tip: bring your own tissues (as usual per Singapore) but you may need some extra depending if you're eating finger food or get sweaty since there's less ventilation Tip: some stalls are closed on certain days/times so check if possible before you head out so you're not disappointed

Life sometimes beckons several BIG IFs and here at Chomp Chomp Food Centre...I started thinking of some: 1. What IF I was born a chicken - regardless of breed...be it the unique black pigment chicken, the typical obese American type, the over-feathered types that look like they are wearing PJs...WHAT would be in MY mind as a chicken if I were to be here? I think I would be horrified to realize the reason behind all my WINGLESS kin is because of several shops that are selling rows and rows and rows of skewers with THEM WINGS! I would be quick to FLEE instead of FIGHT because them humans are ordering them as FAST as they are being COOKED! (Yep, they were delish...you can see it in their EYES!) 2. What IF I was created as a stingray in Asian waters? Would I then grow extra barbs on my tail and poison glands in my flaps to ward off hungry humans from fishing me up just to knife me into 3 pieces so that they can cook my flaps with SAMBAL? Yes, if my kind were to survive...we better start evolving FAST...because them humans are doing the same to me as to them CHICKENS! 3. What IF I was a cow, a pig, or a sheep...and I chanced upon this spot? I would wear a gas mask...because the smoke that permeates ever freaking corner of this food centre...carries the cooked scent of my kin's DNA from all the satay stalls firing up my kind's meat over hot charcoal. Yep, HORRIFIED I would be...and FLEE would once again be the top AGENDA. BUT SCREW THE BIG IFs... Because I'm human and I definitely recommend this place. They died for a GOOD reason...they are sacrificed atop hot charcoal and within rotisseries for a GOOD reason. They endure HELLISH HOT FIRE for a GOOD reason. Yep, it's to FEED the most cruel breed in this world...US HUMANS...so that we can actually do something with that energy to FIX this pathetic earth-destroying-situation we're in. (Well, hopefully, we do so before it's too late). SIDE-NOTE: Surrounded by fragrant smoke that is never going to be banned from public places in Singapore, prepare to fight for a table during peak hours. Yes, a friend of mine watched as I asked to join others in a table of 4...with someone suddenly barking at me for having jumped the table he was "waiting" for. Erm, I just asked to join another group...and they were okay with it. What started with an angry stare from him...ended rather quick when I matched it. Wuss. I'd fight for a table when there's enough smoke blowing up my ass telling me that the satay is bomb enough for me to become a terrorist. Oh well, I guess we're all just too scared enough of the "ones in blue" that we just move on with such "trivial matters" and focus on getting some awesome food in our system. Yelp 100: 31/100

Haven't been here for quite awhile and decided to try this place out again to review the foods. Wasn't too crowded on around 6.30pm, Friday evening. But while we were consuming the foods, people start to make eye contacts so that they are able to sit on the place we sat. Ordered chicken wings from Good Luck, fried oysters, sambal stingrays and Ah Hock Fried Hokkien Mee. The chicken wings were juicy both on the outside and inside which was surprising to me on how they managed to have the same moist especially for barbecued food. The portion wasn't too bad either. The fried oysters and hokkien mee, I will have to say that Newton Food Circus is much better but the tenderness and the flavor of the dishes here are pretty good. The sambal stingray was a little spicy for me and it would be better if the store provides fork instead of chopsticks (easier to get the flesh of meats out). Had to keep on slurping my gigantic sugar cane juice for awhile to neutralize my tastebuds. Overall, this is definitely a good place to eat - budget friendly and dishes served in bigger portion. To avoid the crowd, you might need to plan your trip. Definitely worth a try if you are in that area or if you are a tourist here. :)

Stopped by here late on a weekday while returning from the zoo. This was the only hawker center which said it was open till 1 am. Was teeming with people even at 1030pm! Has a great selection of noodles, satay, grilled BBQ and seafood. Highly recommended is the fresh juice which are served in 1L beer steins if you order the large!

Ever since this place was renovated, the seating arrangements are much more pleasant. My only gripe is that it is not 24 hours, and it only opens during the dinner period. Aside from that, it has a wide selection of local hawker food and is very popular with the supper crowd. The sugarcane juice is particularly popular here. For anything between $1.50 - $3, you can get a humongous glass cup of it. Very good for thirst quenching. Also, the Hokkien Mee at Ah Hock Hokkien Noodles (#01-27) is highly recommended, and has been featured in newspapers before. Another thing that deserves special mention and is worth trying is the soya beancurd, which is healthy, and is of the silky smooth type (not your typical tau huey). Newly opened stores include a bubble tea shop and 7 inch pizza place (at street food prices). Definitely worth a try!

I have no choice to let a few bad apples spoil the crop here since the rating encompasses the entire establishment - so let's get the bad news out of the way first- the popiah/kueh pie tee man right at the entrance had the most misleading 'display picture' for his popiah. There were two popiah on a picture, with the price of $2 on it. I ordered asking for no peanuts, he said he couldn't serve it without peanuts, I gave in, he said 'Two arh?', I nodded, and he charged me $4 for the wins. Popiah for $2?! You have to be kidding me. Some places even do two for $1.50, and taste just as good. That aside, the Satay Bee Hoon is, in my opinion, the best I've had in Singapore - the Sugarcane is refreshing, and I love the idea of the jugs, and this is one of the only places where you can get Pork Satay (didn't have it, but the option is always welcome), and if you don't mind stinking like smoke and stove exhaust (and sweating buckets because ventilation is so bad when its crowded), you might actually enjoy the food!

The good: There are some good stalls here. Even if they are not famous, the food here is ok, nothing really awful. My fav are hokkien fried noodles, bbq chicken wings, wanton spinach noodles from the last store inside. The bad: -The place is small, so there is a perpetual crowd hovering around you for a table. -Ventilation within the food centre is not good, so snagging one of the few outdoor tables is the best. But be warned: it is very competitive. - finding a carpark spot in Serangoon Gardens takes a lot of luck. Btw, it is only opened in the evenings. Come around midnight, there are still some stalls opened, but they are mostly washing up. By 12.45am, most are closed.

Anyone local seeking late night comfort food knows that Chomp Chomp is the place to go. Sambal Stingray, Sambal Kang Kong, Satay, BBQ chicken wing, Rojak. You can never go wrong :P There are so many stalls here I tend to get a little obsessed about ordering from the "best" stall. But seriously, they are all good so you can get some pretty decent food regardless of which stall you order from. It does get pretty crowded at night though! And make sure you order the right size so you dont get ripped off with overpriced food!

This is where you HAVE to go whenever friends come visit from overseas. They have the whole spread of hawker food, but those are only good supplements for the highlights of this place, which is the grilled seafood and stir fry. BBQ stingray is a must try, as well as carrot cake, satay bee hoon, grilled chicken wings, satay and basically everything they sell in here. The prices are slightly higher, but honestly I think it's very very reasonable for the quality of the food. Also get a gigantic glass of sugarcane juice, add some lemons and sour plums to it if you like a sweet and sour aftertaste. Come early though, like before 6pm, or you'll have to wait around for a table.

We had to take the metro and then the bus to get here. One might wonder with such wonderful food anywhere in Singapore, why the hard work to come here? Well if the giant sugar cane juice isn't enough to draw you here, then perhaps the grilled string ray? Or maybe the best char kway teow (cooked with lard)? or the fried carrot cakes? OR THE BEST SATAY IN THE WORLD? This hawker centre is full of local goodies you are told to try in Singapore. All in one place, and better than places like lau pa sat. There's a reason why this place is completely packed and difficult to find a seat. Coming in from the front, you might be tempted to find and wait around for a seat right in front of the stalls, but the best place really is to go to the back where there are outdoor tables so you don't smell like everything you're eating and more by the time you get out. The food prices are pretty average here, except for the seafood which is a lot more expensive (the stingray is $15). Like my friend says, if you need a crash course on Singaporean local foods, this is the place to be.

If you're hunting for hawker food at night, Chomp Chomp's a decent location to head for. The Ang Mo Kio Carrot Cake (Stall 24) has been a long-staying highlight for years, and it's hard to miss the clouds of smoke being whipped up from the back of the hawker centre. Chunks of chewy carrot cake with generous amounts of fried egg and pretty good chilli paste make for a sinful side-dish (of course, nobody should go to Chomp Chomp and treat any dish here as an entree - there's too much to try!). Lucy BBQ Seafood (Stalls 6-7) has above-average fare in terms of stingray and sotong, but I find it to be overpriced. After all, gone are the days when such stalls had a monopoly on fresh seafood and premiums were then justified. Down your side-dishes with a mug or two of refreshing sugarcane juice, easily found at several stalls in Chomp Chomp. In terms of ambience, Chomp Chomp provides the kind of experience of an authentic hawker food centre: noisy, smoky (from the cooking), and jam-packed with people. Waiting for tables is a common occurrence, so I'd prefer to get there earlier in the evening to avoid the crowds.

My favourite hunt for local food is at this hawker centre. Most of the time, I bring my foreign friends here to try out the local food and they have not been disappointed so far. What's 'yummy' over here? Hokkien Mee, Fried Oyster Omelette, Satay, seafood dishes and more! So drop by here if you have the time and you won't regret it! For those without cars, you can take bus 73, 136, 315 and 317 there.

We had Ah Hock's Fried Hokkien Noodles. Nice.

This is definitely one of Singapore's best hawker centres. The variety of food here is in truth not very wide, and but virtually all of them are amongst the best in their respective fields. From fried Hokkien prawn mee to BBQ seafood to chai tow kway, you know you're going to pile on the calories and fats whenever you come to Chomp Chomp. The only thing to mar the experience is the crowd. To say it gets crowded is really an understatement. I've never actually seen an empty seat at Chomp Chomp, and any such rare finds are immediately snapped up by the hundreds of people milling around waiting for a table.

Chomp Chomp's great for late night bbq seafood feasts, and carrot cake/hokkien mee/bbq chicken wings cravings. While I do like the food here, I don't enjoy dining at Chomp because it's very cramped, perpetually crowded and the tables take very long to be cleared. It always feels like I have to get into battle mode when I come here. The aisles for people to walk through are dreadfully narrow, and the tables are all too close to each other. It's not uncommon to have to wait about 5-10 minutes for a table, which involves awkwardly standing around people who look like they are about to leave. I think they had a shortage of cleaning staff tonight - I was here for a good 30 minutes but my table was still not cleared by then, which prompted my friends and I to leave. It's definitely a wiser decision to dabao the food to consume elsewhere. I usually order hokkien mee and bbq wings from the stalls near the entrance on the left, carrot cake from the stall near the right entrance and a big glass of sugar cane to wash everything down. Do check out the egg milkcurd near the sinks - a different take on tau huey that isn't melt-in-your-mouth soft but still very tasty.

Been here twice now and have loved each experience. Be adventurous and try everything! Chicken wings and sambal stingray were our favourites from our last visit and can't wait to go back. It always seems really busy so you just need to loiter around and wait for a table. It's quite smoky too from all the cooking but I think it adds to the atmosphere.

Everyone knows Chomp Chomp. Such a popular place to have dinner located in serangoon gardens,but slightly too popular to be honest. Chomp Chomp opens at 6,so to find a seat there, you would have to be there once it opens. I went to Chomp Chomp with my friends at about 7 , we had to wait for like 30+ mins just to find a seat. Once we finally secured a place to seat, I bought a cup of sugar cane juice and hokkien mee. For the price I paid,I received a large cup (taller than my hand) of sugar cane and a very nice plate of hokkien mee! This place is a must try for every Singaporean as the food is quite affordable! The only few downside is the seating and the slightly smoky atmosphere. Hokkien mee - 8/10 Sugarcane juice - 9/10

Definitely one of the food highlights of our Singapore stay, Chomp Chomp is a fantastic Hawker Centre with food that makes us long to go back. A lot of the stalls offer similar dishes, so we decided to pick one and ask auntie for some of her favourite dishes and went to town. BBQ stingray, dried chilli chicken, sambal squid, greens, chicken satay. Suffice to say, our pants have been quite ill-fitting since returning home - but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

This place is HEAVEN. It's about a five minute walk from my uncle's house in Serangoon, so I frequented it often while back home. Good luck finding a table when you get here (as with any Hawker Centre); I find it easier to da bao and eat it at home. Then again, I don't live and work in SG, so I don't have to play the pack of tissue game. Ventilation is INDEED not the greatest - engineering was not the strong suit of those that constructed the inner area. It DOES shield one from the rain, but perhaps SG's already hot and humid climate wasn't kept in mind. I dream of Chomp Chomp while in my bed here in Los Angeles.

The Chong Pang bbq chicken wings at Chomp chomp is excellent snacks! It moist inside, golden brown skins, glazed. It sweet, juicy and savory. At $1.20 per wing. Tasty!

Don't believe the hype. Chomp chomp isn't as fantastic as what most would make it out to be. Apart from the Carrot cake, hokkien mee and huge glasses of sugarcane juice, the rest of the stalls are really average. The fact that my beloved mutton soup stall is no longer here also makes me not want to come so often. Add that with the trouble of getting a seat in the outdoor smoking area, all make dining at Chomp Chomp really problematic. I'll only eat here if I happen to be nearby, and if I really have a craving for carrot cake of hokkien mee, I'll rather take my chances elsewhere. And the BBQ stingray here isn't really that good anyways!

Chomp Chomp is the place you go when you want a late night snack - my standard orders here are the sambal stingray, bbq chicken wings, fried hokkien mee and a nice big cup of sugarcane juice. It's always crowded at nights, and while it's not as icky as it was after they refurbished the place, I still generally prefer to ta pao the food home nearby where I can eat in relative peace and comfort. There is something to be said about eating right there for the authentic hawker experience though! For tourists to Singapore, I would recommend Chomp Chomp over Newton Hawker Centre any day.

I just came here to say that I miss this place. I haven't been back to SG in almost 10 years and this is where I came to eat with my cousin's fam when I used to live in SG and when I visited. Oh the nostalgia.. *drool*..

This will reiterate a lot of the existing reviews, but this place has great satay, oyster omelettes, chicken wings, and prawn mee. We were with a large group so we got to try a lot of stalls. There was quite a bit of variation, but only in terms of preference rather than quality. Everything we had was of high standard. My vote for best dish: sambal stingray ($10/$12/$15). I didn't catch the stall number, but it was right in front on the left side, by table #4. Speaking of table #4, don't sit here unless you have no other choice. The ventilation fan sprayed us with pepper oil every time they grilled the stingray. It was like getting lightly maced in the face every 2 minutes.

Plan accordingly because it's pretty hard to get seats here. It's always crowded but worth the wait. I've had the satay, sambal stingray, laksa behoon, kway chap, rojak and char kway teow from here. Everything was so exceptionally good (emphasis on the sambal stingray). And I don't think the smell from satay smoke left my jacket at all for few days.

Always a sure thing, if you're in the mood for good hawker food. The sting ray there is always especially good, as well as the gong gong, and really just about everything I've tried there. Beware on weekends, as getting a table is like getting concert tickets for the one time your favorite band comes to Singapore...no easy feat. But during the week, during lunch or dinner its more than doable.

Probably the best Hawker center in Singapore and that's saying something! Smells like Home!!!

The best street stalls in one hawker centre. Everything you need is in one place is great for tourist who wants to get a feel of singapores street food it's ambience is perfect although it gets a little smoky so be prepared for your clothes to smell like smoky BBQ food
