"At more than 40 years old, Old Airport Road Food Centre is one of Singapore's best-loved hawker complexes , with 150 stalls spread across a single floor in neat rows. It can seem daunting, but as a general rule, a long line in front of a stall means excellent food. And while it can be quite a wait, food-obsessed Singaporeans will assure you that it's totally worth it. Dishes that demand your patience here include hokkien mee (fried yellow wheat noodles doused in a seafood stock and studded with prawns and pork) from Nam Sing Hokkien Mee, and silky beancurd pudding from Lao Ban Soya Beancurd." - Ashlea Halpern

Reopened after 4 months of renovation, and we finally got to enjoy the stalls we’ve been craving! 😋😋😋 Unfortunately, most stalls are still using disposable cutleries and styrofoam plates, and with the big fan, they were flying all over. 🤦🏻‍♂️😅

Looks even better after a facelift, with new tables and chairs and big S fan! Finally reopened on 1 Oct 2024. Too many good stalls to name. But a few items I will usually go for: 1. Porridge 2. Nasi Lemak 3. Kway Chap 4. Rojak 5. Nam Sing Hokkien mee Still reasonable hawker price!! 😄

It's always an amazing food experience at Old Airport Road FC. That is, if we have the determination to travel here. In the past year alone, we already made 3 trips, so that says something. Our journey requires almost an hour train ride and bus ride. There are too many stalls worth mentioning that serves great food. Handmade pao, curry puff, chee cheong fun, lor mee, hokkien mee, western, char kway teow, Roast Paradise, minced pork bro, fried oyster, fish soup, kopi and toast, chendol. As they are closing for a 3 month long renovation, some stalls already made plans to move to another site. Or go back to the head branch to increase productivity. We will miss this place and can't wait to see what the renovation will do, and how the prices will increase 🥲

I enjoyed the variety of excellent local food on offer at affordable prices. If you're visiting Singapore, don't worry about the quality of food and drinks here. It's as down-to-earth as you can get locally.

One of the best hawker center with many many tasty stalls. Overall yummy standards are high if not a stall won't be able to survive. But the place is old and dirty, glad that it's being renovated soon. Closed from 1st June for 4 months. My go-to stalls: - Vietnamese salad noodle at Pho Mien Tay - Kallang Cantonese Live prawn noodle - Salt - Authentic Hakka Yong Tau Fu - Shuang Bao Wanton Noodle - Laksa

I used to frequent this food market when I was working nearby. And now I return occasionally because of the variety and quality. I came for brunch and not many stalls are opened. Usually people come here for the Lor Mee and Char Kway Teow. Today I tried something else. Saw this Ru Yi fishball noodles stall. Apparently their fishballs are handmade. I had mee pok dry, less chilly. The texture of the mee pok is just right, not oily but a bit plain for me. The fishballs tasted fresh and bouncy; not fishy and right consistency. I got my kopi siew dai from just two stalls from Ru Yi. Kopi was smooth and aromatic. For dessert, I tried the Nonya Cendol. The coconut milk was fresh and the Cendol jellies were aromatic. However, the gula melaka syrup was weak in aroma and taste, while the red beans and green jellies were too soft to my liking. For takeaway, I bought the charcoal peanut Munchi min Jiang kueh. I wanted to get the pepper curry puffs from Wang Wang Crispy Curry Puffs but closed till 1 Oct (just so you know).

So many good options. Very local place, almost not tourists when we went there. It's a great place to go, see which stands have a long line, and try something new. All dishes we tried were great, and the soursop juices were also very good. Prices were very low, $5 per dish usually. Easy to get to with public transportation too.

We had western food, steak for $12 including extra egg and sausage. Not bad. Portion quite big with coleslaw and fries. Vietnamese beef pho and rolls for $12. Beef pho was good but the rolls were meh. Oyster egg (orh luak) was very nice. Big fresh oysters fried with egg to perfection. The place was crowded but we could still get seats. A big run down and dirty but good cheap food beats it all.
