Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take on Blk 253 Choa Chu Kang Market & Food Centre is that it's a mixed bag, with some stalls offering good value and others drawing sharp criticism for pricing and quality.

The Chang Cheng Mixed Vegetables Rice stall, in particular, stands out for its variety and generous portions, with patrons highlighting dishes like the eggplant, sweet and sour fish, and sweet and sour pork as must-tries.

A large plate with multiple items can cost around $10.90, which some find affordable given the quantity.

However, there are consistent complaints about opaque pricing and perceived overcharging at other stalls, specifically a cai fan stall and a Bak Chor Mee stall.

Instances of unexpected charges for takeaway containers (e.g., $0.30) and discrepancies in itemised billing have been noted.

Quality issues, such as tough skewers and unfresh crayfish, also surface.

We'd recommend this hawker centre for those in the area looking for a diverse meal, but advise caution and clarity on pricing, especially at stalls without clear menus.

The Chang Cheng Mixed Vegetables Rice stall appears to be a reliable option.

Disappointed. They charged $0.30 for a regular polystyrene takeaway box — not about the money, but is this even reasonable? Skewers were tough and tasteless, and the crayfish didn’t taste fresh at all…

Went to the newly renovated Keat Hong Food Centre and Market on 2 Nov (Sat) and tried the zichar dishes from Hong Kong Street Old Chun Kee. Pretty solid dishes would be back again!
