Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Ci Yuan Hawker Centre offers a clean, spacious, and airy environment with a wide variety of food options.

We see consistent praise for its overall cleanliness and the diversity of stalls, making it a good spot for groups with differing preferences.

Stalls like the Hokkien Mee (01-16), duck drumstick (01-12), and fried cabbage (01-11) receive positive mentions, with some reviewers noting an improvement in food quality over the years.

The newly opened '文哥潮州鱼•蒸好吃' stall is highlighted for its Bitter Gourd with Egg soup ($4) and Dry Hor Fun ($1.50), with the soup being particularly recommended for its generous ingredients and balanced flavour.

However, we note a significant negative experience with a carrot cake/fried kway teow stall opposite Nam Kee, citing poor service and unsatisfactory food quality.

There's also a strong warning against the Indian Muslim stall, Muhammad Jazeel, for tasteless and overly salty food.

Overall, Ci Yuan Hawker Centre is a reliable option for a casual meal, but we'd advise caution with specific stalls.

Best for a diverse group looking for affordable hawker fare, but be prepared for potential waits at popular stalls.

Ci Yuan Hawker Centre is generally well-regarded for its clean, spacious environment and diverse food options, with many patrons finding the food quality improving over time.

Popular choices include Hokkien Mee, duck drumstick, chendol, taliwang nasi lemak, and Chef Wang fried rice.

However, some stalls, particularly the carrot cake/fried kway teow stall opposite Nam Kee and Muhammad Jazeel (Indian Muslim shop), receive strong criticism for poor food quality and unsatisfactory service, including order mix-ups and tasteless, salty dishes.
