Apparently, the Chinatown Complex is the largest hawker centre in Singapore I had some free time before meeting Madams, and although I knew weā€™d be having a proper lunch later, my curiosity got the better of me I set out alone from the hotel, enjoying a morning walk When I arrived on the second floor, many stalls were still closed, so I decided to take a stroll around ā€” over 200 stalls packed closely together First, I wanted porridge I figured any place with a line of locals had to be good, so I joined the queue Following those ahead of me, I ordered bee hoon and porridge ā€” served in a large bowl like a cafĆ© au lait bowl Simple, yet something you could eat every day without getting tired of it But then ā€” my appetite was fully awakened Earlier, I had passed a stall selling wonton and char siu noodles that caught my eye, and I couldnā€™t find it again despite circling around and aroundā€¦ By this point, lunch was no longer a concern. After all, this was my last chance to eat here! So yes, I gave in ā€” and I must say, it was even better than the porridge

I think you can find a wide array of international & local cuisine at pretty decent prices which may be a shock to tourists we can eat out cheap in SG. I personally like the AN JI steamed fish head in sour plum gravy (there are several stalls selling similar), very appetizing as well as fresh fruits juices like Green Apple Yakult and Soupsop ($7 for both) at stall #02-192.
