Our take: Havelock Road Cooked Food Centre offers a collection of well-regarded hawker stalls, many with a long history.
We note the char kway teow is frequently cited as a standout, with some calling it among the best in Singapore.
The laksa, particularly for its generous cockle portions, and the ngoh hiang also receive positive mentions, though the latter can involve a wait.
Other popular items include traditional carrot cake fried with chai pu, prawn noodles with large prawns, and fish soup with ample servings.
While the food is generally praised for its affordability and quality, the centre itself is described as older and somewhat shabby, with potential issues like roof leaks during rain and limited parking.
Despite these minor drawbacks, it retains an old-school charm and is a favourite among taxi and private-hire drivers, suggesting a reliable and value-for-money experience.
We'd recommend this centre for those seeking authentic, traditional hawker fare with a nostalgic ambience.
