Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

We think Balestier Market offers a solid, budget-friendly hawker experience in Novena, especially for those seeking variety beyond the usual.

While some stalls have relocated, a good mix of local street food remains, including options like Kinta Hainanese Chop & Rice with their $6.50 specials and Fam Food City's $4.50 Dang Gui Roast duck rice.

We note the general consensus on reasonable prices and quality, with specific mentions of the Hainan Pork Chop and Economy Cai Png being surprisingly good.

However, we've seen feedback about cleanliness, particularly near the toilets, which might detract from the overall experience for some.

Despite this, its unique combination of daily fare and seafood stalls sets it apart from other nearby food centres.

We'd recommend Balestier Market as a reliable option for an affordable, casual meal with plenty of choices, especially if you're in the area and looking to avoid the crowds of more popular hawker centres.
