Traditional Hawker Food at Hougang Hainanese Village Centre
Explore a wide array of traditional hawker delights at Hougang Hainanese Village Centre, situated conveniently at Hougang Avenue 1 near Block 105 Market and Food Centre. Here's a guide to some standout stalls:
Blue Star Fried Hokkien Mee (#02-26) Run by an elderly couple, this no-frills stall is famous for its delicious Fried Hokkien Mee. The brightly lit signboard with appetizing food photographs is sure to catch your attention.
Teochew Fishball Mee and Laksa (#02-47) A must-try for lovers of Teochew Fishball Mee and Laksa, this stall delivers on both taste and authenticity, making it worth a short wait.
Jiu Ji Shu Shi (#02-31) Known for more than just excellent porridge, Jiu Ji Shu Shi offers a variety of dishes including Mee Rebus, Mee Siam, and Lontong, perfect for those craving local flavors.



Ghim Moh Food Centre, like Tiong Bahru Food Centre, boasts a good number of pre-1960s to 1970s legacy hawker food. The black carrot cake stall handed over from the pioneer hawker to his son is just as good. Guan Kee Fried Kway Teow started since 1967 - the slightly wet (more water) dish with bean sprout, chilli and garlic is the real taste of old time recipe. Wei Xiang prawn mee was from Brickwork Estates selling on wheel cart during the pre-1960s, it then moved to Redhill Close and to Ghim Moh in the 1970s; his son in mid 60s now runs the stall. Other good food includes the Indian stall "Heaven" selling food of good old days, the Appam, Puttu Mayam and Vadai. At the "home recipe" Hakka Yong Tau Hu, cooked by pioneer couple,the waiting time is from 30 minutes onwards.



Tucked in a prominent corner between Zion Road Hawker Centre and the revamped Great World City, the Fried Kway Teow stall recently garnered acclaim with a coveted Michelin Bib Gourmand award. Located near prime private estates and the city center, the stall can command premium prices for its renowned dish.Why Choose Fried Kway Teow at Zion Hawker Centre? The dish is celebrated for its delicious flavor and generous portions, reflecting the skill and dedication of the hawkers. Each plate ensures a consistently satisfying dining experience that keeps customers coming back for more.



The pioneer generation lady hawker has been in the hawker business for more than 30 years. She sells 3 great dishes of legacy hawker food - Rare find Satay Bee Hoon and Cuttle Fish-Kang Kong ("Liu He Eng Chai") at $4/5/6 and old school recipe Prawn Mee at $3.50/4/5. Try them all !
Meaty Ikan Bakar from The Food Market, Tampines Century Square
Elias Mall mee rebus, aslo selling mee siam and Popiah

Gui Fei Home Cooked Food at the All Family Food Court on Level 2 Loyang Point is the stall to have affordable good breakfast. The lady stall owner has been selling her traditional glutinous rice, yam cake, peanut porridge and other food at Loyang Point (from the time at the old wing which underwent renovation to the current new wing extension) for more than 20 years, assisted by her son and daughter. Address: 258 Pasir Ris Street 21, Loyang Point, Singapore 510258. Low value, low revenue food not sustainable in food court - Closed



Chai's at Parkway Parade Food Republic food court serves fish head noodles or bee hoon with thick fish meats/chunks whereas some others give more fish head bones than fish meats. A bowl of fish head, slice fish or fried fish noodles or bee hoon comes with vegetables and egg floss. Chai's has outlets at NEX Shopping Centre, Hougang 1 Mall and elsewhere but my favourite is still the Parkway Parade stall.
What appeared to be a common coffee stall managed by 2 ordinary neatly attired women making coffee and toasting bread at Tanglin Mall Food Court; ordinary bread slices and common coffee making pots, that one will be sceptical of the quality standards of the coffee and bread toasts that are unlikely to attract attention of popular food bloggers; but surprisingly, these ordinary looking Kaya and butter toasts (not Ah Khoon biscuit-crispy-like Bread toasts, though) were tasty and thMane coffee was good.
I ate lunch at Tanglin Mall Food Court twice again within 2 months, ordered coffee and bread toasts and for friends. Closed, reconfigured to individual restaurant and retail shops.
This curry chicken dish is among a long list of good hawker centre food available at Richton Cafe, located in an HDB block in Pasir Ris town, near Downtown East. The cafe is slightly smaller than a typical HDB coffee shop, offering a clean, air-conditioned seating area, an ordering station, a separate kitchen, and a customer collection station for takeaways along the corridor.
Richton Cafe offers food at reasonable hawker centre and coffee shop prices. The standard bowl of curry chicken includes potatoes, a chicken wing, a triangular half piece of fried tau kwa, and slices of fish cake. I opted for an additional chicken wing and another piece of potato, making this delicious, healthier dish even more satisfying. The curry chicken is tasty, less oily, and less salty.
You will be spoilt for choice with the extensive menu of food, hot and cold drinks, and desserts, mirroring what you might find at a hawker centre. The offerings include Nasi Lemak (Set A - B), Mee Siam, Mee Rebus, Curry Chicken Noodle, Curry Chicken Rice/Bread, Fried Rice, Fishball Noodle, Lontong, Yong Tau Foo with rice, Carrot Cake (black/white), Hong Kong Mee, Hor Fun/Bee Hoon, Mui Fan, Mee Goreng, Hokkien Mee, Chicken Cutlet with rice, Fish & Chips, toast bread with coffee/tea and egg breakfast set, and traditional Chinese desserts like Red Bean Soup, Green Bean Soup, Green Bean with Sweet Potato Soup, Soya Bean Pudding with Longan, Grass Jelly with Longan, and a variety of Pau including Chicken Pau, Char Siew Pau, and Red Bean Pau. All food items are Halal certified. Note: Recently quality and quantity appeared to have changed; probably staff turnover
Mastery defines Lee's untiring 40 over years of making You Cha Kueh, a legacy unlikely to be followed by current and future generation hawkers when he retires as he turns 70. It is an art and a skill difficult to master, requiring tenacity, passion and energy, standing, making, stretching and cutting the dough on the long powdery table with both arms and hands, like a Taiji Master, beside the big hot wok. These days, modern You Cha Kueh sellers at hawker centres are mainly franchisees who acquire ready-made factory supplies of dough, proprietary knowledge and processes made easy for “hawker-to-be” with no background to operate the business. Crispy and hot You Cha Kueh (You Tiao) is so good that many eat it on its own or with porridge some prefer to dip into glass of Kopi-O (black coffee). Try putting pieces of You Tiao into bowl of laksa - it’s delicious, like dipping baguette into your chicken curry. Those army days in Taiwan, in the “field”, the tri-motorcycle food peddler sold You Tiao, crispy but stiff to be eaten with warm soya bean “soup”, not Kopi-O. The You Cha Kueh sold by our hawkers is nicer.
