Rejoice foodie! The Ghim Moh market and food court is finally back after a well deserved face lift. Guess what is the best thing about this comeback? Many of the original stalls that have been around since 1970 are back too! Yes, the chwee kueh aunty will still be serving her signature dish.

Remember how stuffy and humid it got when you took a sip of your favourite fish soup during lunch time at the temporary food centre? We can’t promise you a chilly windy lunch but according to stall owners and residents around that area, ventilation has greatly improved. On top of that, the food centre has also been scrubbed clean of years of grease and grime, and a wider walkway so foodies like us can manoeuvre around with ease.

The good stuff doesn’t stop just right there. According to Straits Times, 10 stall owners indicated that they will not be making any price hike despite the upgrade. Uncle Ng of Hock Lye Noodle House in particular was quoted saying that he wants his “customers to be happy as well”. (Thank you Uncle Ng!!)
To celebrate the return of one of our favourite food havens, we have picked some of our favourite noms of Ghim Moh Food Centre that we guarantee will leave you feeling sated and blissful!
