Best Food by Area

Chinatown

Chinatown Complex and Maxwell Food Centre cover the hawker essentials; Amoy Street Food Centre is the CBD lunch-crowd favourite on weekdays.

Little India

Banana-leaf rice and roti prata are the area's strengths — Tekka Centre is the anchor hawker complex, with excellent, inexpensive South Indian food throughout the surrounding streets.

Katong

Peranakan food's home turf — laksa, kueh, and Nyonya cooking, best explored slowly rather than rushed.

Kampong Glam

Middle Eastern and Malay food cluster around the Sultan Mosque — a good dinner option after an afternoon on Haji Lane.
