Amoy Street Food Centre

Cookies are good. Especially the Fruit Cake its the best I had ever had. The cookies we tried were not sweet, but the rich in flavour.

Oct24, today try the duck on the ground floor. Very good. After that proceed to 2nd floor for coffee break. Very nice coffee . Frankly I used to come here very often when my office were in town but weren’t appreciative as it was always crowded during lunch time. Now I just love it as I can come 11++ and try out all the food just before the clock strikes 12 on the dote.

A must visit fish soup stall, the lady boss is very generous with her servings, and will even ask you if you want extra pieces of fish! A bowl of mixed fish with tons of vegetables!

Lots of good food. Come before 11 am to get seats else will be packed. Ordered e fish soup. Didn't want to queue at e famous stalls. But surprise this is good. Fish s fresh. Recommended to try.

Good location and affordable food price in CBD. But I was there on Saturday so not much stalls open. I had Kway Chab and it's so good.

I have been wanting to dine in at amoy but always missed the chance due to the unavailable of parking space during lunch hour. So this time round, since I am taking public transportation, I decided to walk all the way over on a saturday morning to satisfy my craving. Although most of the stalls are not opened, I still manage to try out 2 stalls for my breakfast. I had a japanese style dry noodle which comes with freeflow soup, as well as a traditional breakfast set with a western twist 😋 I would definitely come back here for more, just like the good old times while working at 8 cross street home 🏠.

Always long queue. But it is a great move of the stall owner to swith-off the light whenever the stocks are lesser. It is easy for us not to waste time queue with end up no more food to order. I love how the spice is blended into the chicken and the portion is quite big. Super tasty. If you are visiting Amoy Street, you must not to miss this stall. PS: if the chilli can be spicier, I will even love it more. ;)

Amoy Street Food Centre, located in Singapore's Central Business District, is a bustling hawker hub with a rich history and diverse food offerings. Established in 1983, it played a significant role in Singapore’s efforts to relocate street hawkers into more sanitary environments. It's home to renowned stalls like "A Noodle Story," famous for its Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore-style ramen, and others offering unique dishes such as butterfly pea rice at "Lagoon In A Bowl" and traditional Hainanese coffee from "Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee." However, our experience at the food centre was mixed. While the atmosphere was lively, it was also overcrowded and not particularly clean. We tried a couple of vendors, and the food quality varied. My dish, duck and rice, was disappointing—it lacked the depth of flavor I expected. On the other hand, my wife’s dish, chicken with curry noodles, was incredibly delicious, a definite highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, a significant downside was the attitude of some vendors. Several were not just indifferent but outright rude, making the interactions unpleasant. It felt as though they were accustomed to the constant flow of tourists and had grown complacent. Their customer service seemed non-existent, with an almost dismissive attitude, as if they didn’t care about creating a positive experience because they knew people would continue to buy regardless. This lack of hospitality took away from the otherwise enjoyable aspects of the visit. While Amoy Street Food Centre offers undeniable culinary gems and a vibrant atmosphere, the rudeness of certain vendors and the inconsistent food quality mean it’s a place best approached with managed expectations. It's worth visiting for its historical significance and standout dishes but be prepared for a less-than-stellar customer service experience.

Awesome multi-level food center with a huge selection of local Singaporean dishes. Literally everything we saw people eating over there looked delicious. We tried the famous Wah Kee Wanton Noodles and Rayyan's Waroeng Upnormal (Balinese-Japanese fusion rice bowls and spicy bami goreng noodles) and were truly blown away! Prices are very affordable ranging from $3.50-6.50SGD. If you're going at peak lunchtime between 11.30am-2pm, be prepared to brace the massive crowds, snaking lines and intense heat. It takes perseverance to wait patiently in line and find a seat (you'll find people reserving tables with pocket tissues everywhere!) but it's well worth it. Check this food center out when you're in Singapore- you won't regret it!

One of my favourite Hawker Center in Singapore, with many award winning options. While the layout can be confusing, once you learned how to navigate the space, you can easily go to the second level for the infamous charcoal grilled Kaya Toasts. My favourites stalls are Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee and Ah Ter Teochew. Ah Seng is known for its charcoal grilled french kaya toast. Delicious golden toast with Kaya at the side for dipping! Ah Ter Teochew has traditional teochew handmade fishball and mushroom minced meat noodle! Visit Amoy Street Food Centre for a delicious good time!

My schedule during my trip to Singapore so I was rarely around to try out the different stalls during breakfast and lunch hours (which was when most stalls were open). Though I did manage to try two stalls: -A Noodle Story: I think it was overhyped honestly. It was like a dry ramen? Maybe I just didn't really get to enjoy the dish because I had mixed the chili into my noodles not realizing how spicy it would be..but at least the pork belly is flavorful! -Char Kway Teow: one man operation. The old uncle cooks, collects your payment, handles deliveries on his own (when I visited during the evening). It was a super saucy dish with lots of oysters too! Not to mention how can 3 sgd be beat?

Amoy Street Food Center is "muther" of hawker food stalls in Singapore. Located near old Chinatown neighborhood, Amoy has not just one but two floors of food stalls. Amoy has everything: lots of rice dishes/bowls, soup, noodles, satay, etc. Frankly, everything at the Centre looked good, and validated by the large lunch crowd. Famished after 17 hour flight, I came here during weekday lunch hours and the Centre was packed with locals (which is always a good sign). I went a little crazy with two meals. First I had the black chicken soup with rice and the had Teochew fishball soup with mushroom minced meat noodle. Both were yelp-a-licious and cheap. A note to visitors: check the hours because most of the stalls at Amoy seem to be open only during lunch hours 11am to 2pm. Enjoy.

One of Singapore's best hawker centers! There are a variety of foods to choose from and seating. I had the pleasure of trying some fish noodle soup, cendol, and teh tarik from three different stalls. The fish soup had a nice and flavorful broth and huge chunks of fish meat over bouncy noodles. It was extremely filling for a small size and a small price so I can't imagine myself ordering a large. The cendol was a medium sweet dessert which gave me comfort from the Singaporean heat. I guess I could've done without the teh tarik but why wouldn't I take up the chance to get authentic tea from the Bismi tea stall? The tea was so smooth and delicious I wanted to bring the whole stall home with me. It can be super hot in the blazing sun as there is no air conditioning at the hawker center but I would still come back because this was a great experience.

One of my favorite hawker centers in Singapore. They have a huge selection of food styles and cuisines available and you will surely find something that suits your palate. I've been here multiple times for different meals and have never been disappointed.

Lots of hawkerpreneur (new generation hawker) here. Weekday lunch time super crowded but this place most stall only opens on weekday breakfast and lunch time. Recommend this level 2-157 stall named Gyu Nami Wagyu beef Donburi for $10 only. The bowl is a bill small and hence lesser quantity. However , food is of good quality and quite tasty. The beef is thin and tender, about 60% cook, just nice. Recommend to try it. *Tips: Use Favepay to get 10% rebate for next use. So one person pay with the same favepay account 1 by 1, this way the 2nd person that is the 2nd bowl only pay $9. This way you'll save $1 for the 2nd person / bowl straight away rather than have to wait for next time coming back to be able to use the $1 rebate. Because you might not come back again before it's 3 months expiry. Enjoy Cheers

Nice lunch Favorites Healthier salad L1 2 salad stores. Lots choices. Best nearby market

Great Hawker food experience. Lots of choices. I especially liked the Fried Fish Lor Mee from Penang Kitchen. Wonderful noodles in an excellent umami flavored sauce with crispy delicious fried fish - all for 4 Singapore dollars (3 USD September 2028 exchange rate). I also enjoyed a refreshing and delicious iced coffee prepared efficiently by an elderly couple at Xiang Chang Coffee. I also had the Fish and Meat ball soup with noodles served by Fishii. The Soybean milk at Amoy Street Food Center was the best version of cold Soybean milk I've had in a long time.

This is the place to be in Singapore if you like some of the best food at the lowest prices. Had a traditional Hainan chicken dish, along with a few other dishes, and a lime sugar cane juice, at various vendors around this center. The soup and satay were good also. Wish I could remember all the names of the places I visited, but the food was amazing. A great place to explore. The government gives lower income citizens an opportunity to run the stall, and the government owns the center and the stalls. Once every three or more months, they close and do a thorough cleaning. Each stall gets a letter grade (look for the "A"s or "B"s). Each stall usually specializes in one dish, so mix and match. Genius and a great way to try several dishes by exploring multiple stalls.

2 floors of delicious options by a heritage rich neighborhood. 4.5 stars Highlights: - Black pepper beef hor fun: looked for the long lines and stood in this one. Loved watching them stir fry it in the big wok. Beef was tender, noodles were fresh, and gravy was peppery. 5 stars. - Carrot cake: this version seemed to have larger rectangles of the rice cakes, bit more sweetness, and eggs more in big pieces than mixed in. Loved it. 5 stars. - Chicken and rice: I'm not a fan of the traditional boiled version and here got the roasted and cha sui versions. Tender chicken was delicious and rice extra flavorful. Cha sui non pork to be halal was a trip with only difference in taste being thinner slices. 4.5 stars - Tonkatsu: my son loves this dish so we were excited for this find. He ate it all and hub said it was good too. 4 stars Lowlights: - Layout: hard to navigate with the upstairs and downstairs. Lots of short rows with tables in between so lots of squeezing around. Love the hawker's fare and would be happy to try more here.

Lots of yumminess!!! :) As fellow Yelper Julian C. has recommended, the wonton mee and ipoh hor fun on the second floor (second row of stalls from the entrance further from McCallum St) are delicious! Ah Liang Ipoh Hor fun, #02-122. $3 for 4 fried fish dumplings (never tasted before!) and a few sad pieces of veg (sigh, I always bemoan the lack of veg in hawker centre food), mushroom. The chilli and silky smooth hor fun went together so well with the crunch of the fish dumplings! Not a huge portion of food, but yumm :) Anyway, the wonton mee was pretty good, definitely value for money!! 7 wontons in soup, with 3 fried wontons, and quite a bit of char siew for $3! The noodles I thought were okay, got a bit soggy/chewy (and not really in an al dente kind of way, more like a floury sort of way). Anyway, delicious!! :) Of course, long lines at fish soup/fish porridge stalls on 2nd floor - guess they must be pretty good. Also noted long line at char kway teow stall on 1st floor at McCallum St entrance. Also like the fruit juice stalls! Bf and coworker recommend the hor fun from the cze char stall on the first floor (somewhere in the middle). Called Good Day. Okay, I tried the beef hor fun from Good Day today (4/3/13) and it was phenomenal! Well, I wish there were more veggies but that's a constant wish wrt hawker centre food.. Anyway, delicious black bean beef hor fun! $4 gets you a huge portion of noodles and beef.. I usually get a little hungry somewhere in the afternoon but this was so scrumpilicious that I devoured it all and am still full 5 hrs later. The fish hor fun also looked pretty good, but I'll save that for next time! Apparently black pepper beef hor fun from Pepper bowl is good too! But coworker says service is kind of slow.. I bought a muffin from the Bake Of shop in the third row of stalls (I think). $1.10 for an apple crumble muffin! Really cheap and fairly filling. It was somewhat dry though, but good pieces of stewed apple inside. I do prefer more moist muffins, but maybe this was more healthy/less oily.. Haha. More updates since I come here fairly often now - Soon Heng porridge (on the first floor, opposite from Good Day) - has pretty yummy porridge! Also yusheng porridge, which I have yet to try. B Salad Kitchen (#01-37) has gd salads for $5! I love their roasted pumpkin and tempeh and sweet potato, mm :) Noodle Story (featured on Sunday Life recently) has pretty good noodles and lots of ingredients in it!

This has to be one of my favourite food centres. It's a double story building, with many choices of food for your taste bud. My personal favourite is the Han Kee's fish soup stall at level 2, it's probably the best fish soup place in Singapore. If you see long queues at certain stalls, you know they are favourites among the office staff. Go there before or after peak hours. (11.30 to 1.30) to avoid long queues and frustration when finding seats. Place may be quite warm especially if it's crowded, so be prepared to get "roasted" especially during a hot day! Enjoy!

Big hawker center by Chinatown -- two levels with at least as many stalls upstairs as on the ground floor. Was mostly closed down when I stopped by in the mid afternoon; I did manage to find a noodle stand open (was ok), but not much in the way of cold drinks. Probably better at lunch or dinner time. Interesting area around the center.

This hawker center has TWO levels! I went at lunchtime and this place was just packed with people. It is a really popular place to eat. I looked around and looked at the stalls on both floors. Noodles, fresh juices, hainan chicken rice, they have everything! I wanted to eat everything but the stall I really wanted to eat at was Noodle Story. Walking around you can tell by the lines which stalls are the best ones to go to. Noodle Story was one of them and it was totally worth the wait. There are tons of tables and seats but it's packed during lunch. I noticed people leaving a packet of tissues or a lighter or something to indicate that they've claimed that spot. So simple, but the system works. Hawker centers are great places to find cheap eats in Singapore, which is great because everything else is so expensive!

This two-storey hawker centre is one of my favourite haunts whenever I'm in the city. It's smack in the middle of Tanjong Pagar with lots of office workers nearby flocking over for lunch. Needless to say, you should avoid lunchtimes for your sanity's sake. I won't go too much into detail about the kind of food you can find here, but rest assured that whatever local food you can think off, I'm willing to bet you can find it here. The Thai food here is excellent too, and don't forget to check out the char kway teow. There's also a muffin shop which is pretty good. Unfortunately, it isn't that clean. Used cutlery can pile up really quickly during peak periods, and cleaners seem to be in short supply. Plus, Singaporeans don't have the habit of clearing their own plates, so that makes things worse. Also on the downside, most of the stalls close really early, with some shutting down for the day as soon as the lunch crowd disperses. If you're looking for dinner, you probably won't find it here.

Tried the famous ramen mee pok, bak chor mee and curry puffs at this food court. All were good enough for me to visit again, but not sure I would the extra trip to get there. 30 min wait for the ramen even when got there at opening. This is a downtown workers destination so very very busy at lunchtime. The best bite was the ramen wanton.

Good hawker center surprisingly close to Maxwell. I like that it's 2 stories and I like that it's just lots of rows of a few stalls so it's easy to explore and it never gets too suffocating. I had the Char Teow and it was good but a bit too greasy for my taste.

Just started eating here after my office moved to Robinson Road two weeks back. Love the balance of price and variety of food at this place, definitely better than the other nearby ones like Hong Lim (where you'll be hard pressed to find Malay and Indian food) and Lau Pa Sat (which is more expensive as its so touristy). I would highly recommend two stalls which are next two each other and located on the second floor. The first is a wantan mee stall that sells very yummy wantan mee with uber generous servings of wantans. I got 8 wantans (4 fried, 4 non-fried) for just 3 bucks in addition to my serving of wanton noodles. So, imagine what 4 or 5 bucks can get you. The other stall, right next to it, is the hor fun stall whose most popular dish is the fried fish dumpling hor fun. For 3 bucks you get four pretty sizeable fish dumplings, but the hor fun serving is not too big and you might get hungry in a couple of hours time. Nevertheless, still very much value for money. If you love the fish dumplings so much just go on and order a plate of 6 of them for 3 bucks. Just a note that both stalls are very popular amongst the regulars and expect to see long queues during lunchtime on weekdays. Both are closed on weekends unfortunately.

This is my favourite regular food center in Singapore. Despite its smaller size, it has more great stalls than Maxwell or Lau Pa Sat. Favourites are: "Cafe B" run by Chef Boris -- Singapore's best $4.50 pastas done properly al dente and generously sized. Aisle two. Chicken rice on aisle three with photo of Lee Kuan Yew visiting. $2.5/3.5/4.5 prices. One of the best Chicken rices in CBD. Costa Rican food "Mamacita" on aisle four. Good CR style burritos.

Amoy St is a great place to grab lunch if you work nearby in the CBD. It is a two storey food center that has every kind of local food you can imagine. Most of the stalls are good. My favorite are the ones on the first level. There is a fruit juice stall with a really nice aunty that has many different kinds of fruit juice combinations. The vegetarian stalls on the first floor are also pretty good. My favorite place though is the chee chong fun uncle. $1.20 for a plate of really good and fresh chee chong fun. This place opens as early as 6:30am. Most stalls close pretty early though and are not open on the weekends.

This is such an awesome place! I would rate it as the best hawker center in Singapore. Of course there are other good hawker centers and we can debate endlessly which serves the best chicken rice or prawn mee or popiah but the reason I love Amoy Street Food Centre is the diversity and sheer range of options it offers. I feel truly blessed to be working in its 5 min radius and so spoiled too! For S$5.50 you can get a big bowl of salad (from any of the 4 - 5 salad shops operating there) when the same bowl of greens can easily cost you 15 or more in the fancy cafes around telok ayer and raffles place. Or if you want something different you can go for costa rican chicken rice with tacos. It was here I tried my first "lei cha" - the Hakka "thunder tea" which is another healthy choice apart from salad. "Noodle story" seems to be another recent favorites judging from the line. And then of course there are the stars of the show - the famous piao ji and han kee fish soup / fish porridge. Lines are quite formidable every day from 11 am to 2 pm so pick your time wisely if you want to try. Fancy some dessert after your meal? There is Koko Icecream - the popular coconut icecream served in a real coconut. Or you can venture to the second floor for some baked goodies at Bake-of Muffins at very reasonable price. There are also fruit juices stalls aplenty so take your pick. If what you crave is Japanese, Thai or Korea they have it too! It's probably the most international hawker center and the food options itself is a reflection of the changing demographics in Singapore so definitely a great place for people watching as well!

Amoy street hawker centre get packed at lunch time but still worth it. I always eat A TER fishball noodles on the first floor. Its so good! I never get sick of it and this is why i always eat a Amoy Food Centre. Even though it's kind of dirty, you have many options of food here so you will definitely find something you will like. Amoy street hawker centre serves really good food,

During our travels in Singapore, a friend recommended that we go to Amoy Street Food Center for lunch. There were many stalls and it was difficult to choose. We walked several rounds before we decided which stalls had the longest lines. We went to the Han Kee stall for fish noodle soup. I got the fish head noodle soup. It was very flavorful and did not have any fishy taste. Price was fair and portion was good. It actually had a lot of pieces of fish. They don't skimp! I highly recommend this place if you are from the states. This is something you can't really find in the states. Line gets long around lunch time. Amoy food center is 2 stories and there are many options. Fried rice noodles, chicken rice, wonton noodles, fresh fruit juice, various noodle soups, rice dishes, popular breakfast stall, and deserts. There is something for everyone.
