Maxwell Road Food Centre

Maxwell Road Food Centre is a much-loved hawker centre in the heart of Singapore's Chinatown. Here you will find more than a hundred stalls selling a whole host of local delights, from congee to roti prata, from wanton noodles to nasi lemak. And the best part is - it's cheap! You can expect to pay anywhere between around $4.00 and $8.00 a dish. One of the most popular stalls here is Tian Tian Chicken Rice. Hainanese Chicken Rice is a simple dish of rice topped with slices of steamed chicken and served with a clear broth, and is a favourite amongst Singaporeans. Another famous stall to look out for is Zhen Zhen Porridge, dishing up piping hot bowls of congee with pork and century egg. Be prepared to queue (sometimes up to 45minutes!) at both of these stalls, or take your chance on any other.
