Old Airport Road Food Centre

Dating back to 1973, this is one of Singapore’s oldest and most revered hawker centres. In 2024, it was given a revamp with brand–new tables, chairs, and high–speed cooling fans to offer better comfort to hungry foodies. If there’s one place to experience a wide spectrum of what Singapore’s local cuisine has to offer, this would be it. It might be noisy and a little messy, but that is all part of the authentic, unfiltered charm. You can find affordable Michelin Bib Gourmand noodles from Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow, succulent charred pork from Roast Paradise, and piping bowls from Albert Street Prawn Noodle, which has been around since the 60s. There are many more standouts to discover, so check out the full guide to the best hawker stalls at Old Airport Road Food Centre for the full scoop.
