Newton Food Centre

Newton Food Centre should be your go-to if you\\\'re a seafood lover. Located near the famous Orchard Road, this hawker centre in Singapore has many stalls solely focused on fresh catch from the sea. And it’s the same food court featured in the 2018 movie Crazy Rich Asians. Recently, the market has gone through some renovations, so it’s more contemporary. The atmosphere is buzzing with throngs of locals and tourists frequenting this famous market.

Highlights

A delicious seafood galore: While you can find dishes with chicken and meat, Newton Food Centre’s most iconic stalls are all about seafood. You can find an eclectic variety of fish and crustaceans. From fishball kway teow mee to an oyster omelette, the ambitious seafood offerings at this market are tasty and Instagram-worthy.
Old stalls with iconic dishes: Newton Food Centre has been a stalwart of Singaporean street food since 1971, and some stalls have been around since the beginning. For instance, the Kwee Heng Duck Rice stall, with its four-decades-old Teochew braised duck, has been hosting guests since the food centre was founded.
Diverse crowd with people from all walks of life: This hawker centre has been popular since the beginning, especially with tourists. That means it’s often incredibly crowded. Nevertheless, you’ll find the crowd quite diverse as locals also frequent this market. From workers taking a break to families enjoying a meal together, the market offers food for all.
