Singapore Chinatown by a tour guide

Meeting point

Best Variety of local cuisines

Step into Amoy Street Food Centre to sample Singapore’s hawker culture in the heart of the business district. Look for stalls serving local favourites such as noodles, rice dishes, soups and traditional snacks, spread across two levels. Lunchtime can be especially busy with nearby office workers, so visit outside the peak rush if you prefer shorter queues and easier seating. Bring tissues for reserving or wiping your table, and check stall signs before ordering.

Another Food Heaven

Step into Chinatown Complex, a vast market-and-hawker hub where you can sample Singaporean favourites under one roof. Look for steaming bowls of noodles, roast meats, dumplings, and colourful stalls selling fresh produce and everyday goods. Wander slowly through the different levels to take in the lively atmosphere and local routines. Bring cash, arrive outside peak lunch hours for easier seating, and check stall signs carefully, as individual vendors may keep different schedules.
