Tanglin Halt Food Centre

Tanglin Halt Food Centre is a beloved neighbourhood hawker centre and market that has been serving the Queenstown community for decades, recently renovated but retaining its old-school soul. It is particularly famous for its popiah, carrot cake, and traditional Hainanese dishes served by veteran hawkers who have been at their craft for generations. The crowd is predominantly local residents and loyal regulars rather than tourists, giving it an unusually genuine atmosphere. Some of the oldest stall operators are approaching retirement, so visit while you still can.
