Amoy Street Food Centre

About

A lunchtime institution in the CBD — packed with office workers daily. Some of the best traditional Singaporean breakfast and lunch options.

📖 The Story

Amoy Street Food Centre occupies a corner of Singapore's CBD that was once the centre of Hokkien immigrant life in the 1800s. The street's name — Amoy being the old name for Xiamen in Fujian province — marks where the first waves of Hokkien traders settled. Today the centre operates on a different rhythm to any other hawker centre in Singapore: breakfast and lunch only, closed by 3pm, and packed with bankers, lawyers, and architects who work in the surrounding towers. A Noodle Story — a modern Singapore ramen that's won Michelin recognition — is perhaps the most talked-about queue in the CBD.
