We had the chili crab then went back for chicken rice (the national dish). Everything we had was delicious. Be sure to bring cash because most of the stands are cash only. Tasty and affordable meals and a good variety to choose from.

There are a whole lot of small shops offering a wide variety of dishes. We had the traditional much talked of Chicken rice.
It was very good. One portion is just about enough for one person. The food is very much like in other hawker’s walks.
We sat outside the main hall

Bustling w business early in the day. Tried three different dishes and all tasty. Lines weren’t bad because it was earlier in the day. The place is kept clean and only about 75 percent open.

One of the more famous hawker centres in singapore. Anchored by the uber famous tian tian chicken rice visited by gordon ramsay and other famous celebrity chefs. Tian tian closes before dinner as they sell out in the afternoon
Other good stalls include Ah Tai chicken rice (ex staff of tian tian), zhen zhen porridge, Huang ji noodles
Weird set up now with covid, every table sits 2 maximum

We had a lunch here and it was fine, the famous chicken and rice dish, which turned out to be very ordinary. And this is just a big open hall with lots of food products.

We really enjoyed strolling through this area shopping the various food stalls. After a lot of observation and thought, we bought our lunch and took it to some picnic benches nearby. A fun way to spend an hour or two. A Singapore classic.

Maxwell Food Centre is very well known intentionally. Cons- not the most hygienic (does not mean its not hygienic).
Pros- cheaper than most other hawker centres, some really good hawker food here.
Hawker stalls with a WOW! Factor arr:
1. Rojak, Popiah and Cockle. Large serving, Michelin bib gourmand rated.WOW!
2. Hainanese Curry Rice. Crispy pork cutlet and Shrimps. WOW!
3. Roasted Meats. Only Chinese name and green in colour, refer to picture. WOW!
Theres this stall selling oyster pancake, very famous and I tried it. Very cheap S$2 only but I can taste the oil ( which looks black). Would rather pay S$2.50 for a healthier one. All they need to do is change the oil more frequently especially when customers can see the deep frying oil.

I am told that breakfast there is very good. Many people working nearby would stop here for breakfast before going on to their offices. Almost all stalls are open and very busy for lunch

The official timming is 8am to 2am but all the stalls are not open they all have their own schedule. We went there a couple of times for the famous Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice they open from 10am to 7pm. In the morning only the stalls that serve breakfast are open. Hope this helps have a nice trip.

Me imagino que se puede encontrar un guía en español, pero en el metro uno se mueve muy bien y los taxis no son caros.

Hola Gaudi123, El Maxwell Food Centre es exclusivo para comida,es muy simple, puedes escoger el puesto que mas te guste y allí escoges la comida. Para Singapur no hace falta vacuna, ni para Malaysia tampoco.
