Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Kallang Food Centre, despite its name, appears to function more as a collection of individual stalls within an industrial building, with the Charcoal Fish Head Steamboat being the most prominent draw.

Reviews consistently highlight its location in a light industrial area with ample parking, making it accessible for drivers.

The steamboat itself garners mixed opinions; some find the soup base addictive, while others suggest better, cheaper options exist elsewhere.

We note a significant complaint regarding pricing discrepancies and rude staff for a breakfast set, which is a concern for overall customer experience.

However, for those specifically seeking the steamboat, arriving early on a weekday seems to be the best strategy to avoid long waits.

There's also a happy hour from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM for drinks.

Verdict: Best for a specific steamboat craving on a weekday evening, but be prepared for potentially inconsistent service at other stalls.

What customers say

Kallang Food Centre is noted for its industrial area location with ample parking and a pleasant riverside "garden" seating area, making it a good spot for chilling with friends.

The Charcoal Fish Head Steamboat stall is a key draw, though some find it overpriced compared to alternatives.

However, a significant negative point is the inconsistent and sometimes rude staff attitude, particularly regarding pricing discrepancies for drinks, which detracts from an otherwise ordinary food experience.
