Known forlocal favouritemulticulturalwet markethawker

Tekka Centre is a bustling wet market and hawker centre in the heart of Little India, beloved for its extraordinary range of Indian, Malay, and Chinese produce and cooked food. The wet market downstairs is one of the best in Singapore for fresh fish, mutton, and exotic spices, while the hawker floor above serves outstanding roti prata, biryani, and fish head curry. Go early on weekends for the freshest produce and shortest queues. It gets extremely crowded and pungent — not for the faint-hearted, but utterly authentic.
