Busy, difficult to get a table, plenty of choices but choices are repeated throughout the market. Portions sizes are not that big, my teenager & I were not impressed!! Definitely not share portions😔. Long queues. Typical hawkers market environment. Not that impressed! A Been there done that attitude suits this place for my family.

A foodie haven! So glad our hotel is only a 3-minute walk to this place. We had most of our meals at this place. Tried the duck noodles, the best duck dish I’ve ever had. We tried the chicken rice too and it’s so good. Coffee queen is the place to go for breakfast if you just want a light meal. The meal package from the Coffee Queen comes with a drink, toast, and 2 VERY soft boiled eggs. It’s so good. This place is a gem if you’re not picky. They maintain the place. So worth your money.

This was my first experience of visiting a Hawker Centre. There are a number of Hawker Centres in Singapore, the centres offer Singapore street food at a very reasonable price. There is so many food vendors to choose from, however the advice we were given before visiting was purchase your food the vendors with the biggest queues. The centres are frequented by both locals and tourists. We ordered a a mixture of chicken and pork satay sticks with sticky satay rice and Pork with noodles. This was enough for 2 people and with a a beer and a Diet Coke cost S$21 (£12.83).

This is a great Hawker’s Centre with many stalls and different cuisines. The dishes are very reasonably priced. We tried the Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice, Maxwell satays, Malayan fried noodle, sugar cane juice &lychee drink. We returned multiple times during our trip.

Maxwell Food Centre is not the largest hawker centre in Singapore but it is one of the most famous and busy because of the popular food stalls here and its central location in Chinatown. Few people today know that Maxwell Food Centre site was one of Singapore's earliest Chinese burial grounds (in the 1800s). In 1907, the graves were exhumed the land was earmarked for a marketplace. In 1925, the track to its west was upgraded and named Maxwell Road (in honour of John Argyle Maxwell, a wealthy Scottish merchant who lived in Singapore at the time). So, when the marketplace was completed in 1928, it was named Maxwell Market. The food centre originally started as a wet market. It lasted through the Japanese Occupation and housed a community kitchen that fed the poor and displaced after the war. It was renovated into its current form and opened in 1987. When you come to Maxwell Food Centre, you will see a certain Hokkien imprint as the area around today's China Square like Hokien Street, Nankin Street, China Street etc was the Hokkien enclave. You will see several old school Hokkien food stalls from among the first batch of Maxwell Food Centre hawkers still in operation today. Like all the Hawker centers in Singapore, this one brings the different asian street foods together in one place illustrating how Singapore is a mixture of all walks of asian life, cultures, and eating.

Love this place. For $10 you can have an excellent meal. Tried the chicken rice at Ah Thai - and on the second trip tried the Laksa - both extremely good. Juice bar is amazing with sooo many different choices. Bakery is also fantastic - will miss this place for an excellent cheap meal.

there are really great options at this well-known Hawker market. It helped us a lot to be there with a friend who could help guide us. Popiah were an amazing discovery and new obsession for us. Hainanese chicken was also very good.

Economical and variety of every dish imaginable from over the world. I tried Tien Tien chicken rice, was not too impressed, line was long but service was fast. Sugar cane juice tasted much better with a little lemon, but they usually charge 20 c extra. Amount of ice added depends on the stall and mood of each, but 1-58 tends to give you more juice than ice and charged $2, whereas the lady that charged $3 gave mostly ice and diluted juice! Korean Bimbibop was $4 and delicious and complex with alot of fresh vegetable and a little kimchi, loved it! The peking duck and roasted pork was too much for me at $10, should have gotten the small plate. Would have been great with pickled vegetables! The duck was soft, not as crispy as I expected, the pork is fatty and would have been great in a Vietnamese sandwich! I really think a Vietnamese sandwich shop here would do well. Wishful thinking. Although there are more variety of food at the nearby Chinese market, but the odor from its basement wet market makes it less desirable on a hot humid day. Also the sanitation and cleanliness is much worse than Maxwell market. I would visit both if you want to explore variety! I tried the peach gum snow mushroom lychee sweet soup. I did not find it palatable. Must be an acquired taste, I can not perceive any rejuvenation quality aftet eating 1/3 of the bowl.

In the heart of China town and east to get to by taxi. So many hawkers to choose from but we went to the one that had a queue for the chicken and rice which was delicious! We also got some chicken dumplings from a hawker named Happy House and they’re the best we’ve had in a long time 👌🏼 definitely worth a visit.

We decided to go to this Hawker Centre on our first night in Singapore purely because this centre had my husband's name (Maxwell). It was a great experience and good introduction to Singapore! There were lots of people here for dinner (it was around 7.30 pm) and so much to choose!! We ended up getting naan bread with tandoori and butter chicken sauce and the Tin Tin Hainanese Chicken Rice (the queue was less than 10 minutes). For dessert we could NOT go past the Souffle Pancakes, these were incredible. Top tip, if you want to save a table (hard to secure) take a packet of tissues with you to put on an empty table whilst you are getting your food, a packet is required per person for your table. Whilst tourists might not understand, the locals will! On a tour around the city the next day, the local guide recommended this as one of the better Hawker Centres, so would definitely recommend to anyone!
