Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Market Street Hawker Centre offers a wide variety of local dishes across its two floors, making it a popular spot for those working in the CBD.

We've noted several stalls receiving high praise, such as Chick n Nice for its flavourful Mee Siam and N’s Kitchen for authentic and generous Malay dishes like Lontong and Nasi Sambal Ayam Goreng.

The steam fish stall on the third floor also stands out for its healthy and hearty sets, with options like sea bass or golden pomfret.

However, we've also seen feedback regarding inconsistent quality and presentation, with some dishes like fish soup being described as looking like 'leftover bits' for $6.80.

Lunch hours are consistently reported as extremely crowded, with average food quality at some stalls.

We recommend visiting outside of the main lunch rush to avoid the busiest periods.

Overall, it's a reliable option for an affordable meal in the area, but not every stall is a standout.

Best for a quick, economical meal if you're in the vicinity, but be prepared for crowds during peak times.

What customers say

Market Street Hawker Centre is highly regarded for its wide variety of affordable and high-quality local food, with specific praise for dishes like Chick n Nice's mee siam, N's Kitchen's authentic Malay food (especially Nasi Sambal Ayam Goreng and Lontong), and the generous portions at the steam fish stall.

However, some customers find the food to be average, with specific complaints about Ah Ya Fish Soup's portion size and presentation, and a lack of flavor in some Lor Mee dishes.

The hawker centre is also noted for being extremely crowded during lunch hours.

Update! The stall new signboard is here! They are known as Chick n Nice. If you have craving for mee siam, don’t look anywhere. Their gravy is thick and flavourful. Everything blends well. Sedap. Aut…

Ah Ya Fish Soup? Paid $6.80 for this portion. The presentation could definitely be improved. It looked more like leftover bits of fish than a proper serving. Taste aside, the portion and appearance d…
