Lively food court with diverse hawker stalls & wet market
"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
"Fancy trying some local food? Then dive right into the heart of local fanfare at the Tiong Bahru Market Level 2. With over 50 diverse food stores to pick from – we highly recommend ordering a plate of Hainanese Chicken Rice (2.50SGD), Chwee Kueh (1.20SGD for 4), Lor Mee, Hokkien Mee and Carrot Cake. #DamnShiokLa" - Desiree Liew
"While you’re wandering through the Tiong Bahru neighborhood looking at bookstores, ’50s architecture, and tiny antique shops, you’ll need to find somewhere to eat—and that place should be Tiong Bahru Food Centre. Once you make your way to the second floor of the Tiong Bahru Market, you can get roast meats from Lee Hong Kee, prawn noodle soup from Min Nan Pork Ribs Prawn Noodles, rice cakes with pickled vegetables at Jian Bo Shui Kueh, and icy desserts from Liang Liang Garden (get the Milo Dinosaur Ice Kachang—it’s like a hot chocolate snow cone) all without leaving the building. Head over with a group of friends when you’re in the area, make sure you’ve got cash, and order everything." - anthony eu

"With over 80 stalls under one roof, Singaporeans regard this as one of the best hawker centers around; people schlep here from across the island to get their fix of chwee kueh (steamed rice flour cakes topped with preserved turnip) at stall five, and tau suan (sweet mung bean soup) at stall 55. But whatever you do, don't leave without picking up some local kueh (cakes) from HarriAnn's Delights at stall 25." - Annette Tan
