The food at Aspirasi stall is no longer superb as before. The current guy is so unfriendly and there's no more crispy bits and worst of all no more soup due to peak hrs. I am not going to that stall again. I still prefer the old uncle than this young guy.

We were quite late in arriving at Maxwell's which meant quite a few of the stall were closing down. As a vegetarian I did struggle to find suitable foods. The vegetarian on offer was tofu with fish through so that would not do. The others in our group had hainanese chicken which they said was good. A few days later... More

Smaller hawker center here at Maxwell. But we beelined to Tian Tian Chicken Rice. Amazing how delicious a simple dish can be! Along side super cold tall Tiger bottles. Happy land. Go, eat, drink, enjoy.

The porridge stall famously known for its fish porridge, and their century-egg porridge. The fried fitters from another stall is brilliant, which you will see long queue, from 11am onwards. When the owner is busy frying the food, you could also join in the fun and let you fried your own fitter!

On my second trip we tried some of the hawker centres and this is great. It is in Chinatown and near the business centre but close to lots of hotels, the food is superb and very cheap, there are at least 100 places to eat with shared tables.the drinks are also cheap. You can try lots of different dishes and... More

At here several times. My favourites were the Hokkien prawn noodles from Marina South Delicious Food - the sambal truly lifts the dish - and the coconut apom balik pancakes a little further down. Famous Tian Tian chicken rice was nice, but nowhere as wonderful as its reputation would lead you to expect.

We've been tried Hainanese Chicken Rice at Max Well, both Tien Tien and Ah Tai. From searching, I learned that Original Tien Tien is very popular for tourist. Ah Tai is new one but owner was a cook from Tien Tien. So, I and my friend pick one from each and shared. we've found that they both are same taste..... More

Enjoyed the local chicken and rice as well as Thai Tom Yum soup at this venue, which was only a short walk from our hotel. There is plenty of varieties of food which include fruit and fruit juices. The average dinner cost is between $3 - $5. Especilly polular with locals as well.

This was a great food experience. Lots of food to choose from, of course the most popular was the Chicken and Rice. The prices are super cheap, especially for Singapore standards. Chicken and rice will cost around 3.00 and a fresh juice 1.5-2.0. Most stalls have the food choices in english, otherwise the ol' point and order works just fine... More

Variety and familiarity! Good value Teochew mixed vegetables, Hainanese chicken rice (many many stalls!), fish slice soups, Hongkong Char Siew & roasted meat, Singapore laksa, fish & meat congee, Tasty BBQ and wanton stalls plus peanut soup dessert and bean curd, not forgetting the mouth-watering onde onde!
