Known forMichelinlocal favouriteChinatownhawker

Chinatown Complex is Singapore's largest hawker centre and wet market, housing over 260 stalls across multiple floors. The wet market on the lower levels is a treasure trove of dried goods, tofu, live seafood, and traditional Chinese ingredients, while the hawker floor is home to legendary stalls including the Michelin-starred Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle. Arrive before noon to avoid the longest queues at the most popular stalls. The building is ageing and can feel chaotic, but that's precisely the charm.
