Maxwell Road Hawker Centre

This large food center in the middle of Chinatown is one of the best places to sample authentic Singapore hawker food. Maxwell Food Centre features over 100 food stalls serving favorites like char kway teow (fried noodles), dim sum, fried carrot cake, bak kut teh (pork soup with herbs), rice porridge, and banana fritters. It is also home to some ‘famous’ hawkers like Tian Tian Chicken Rice – be prepared to wait in line if you want to try their delicious food! Maxwell is so big that there’s always a stall or two open, but come at lunch for the best selection.
