Editor’s Note

Last updated 19 Oct 2026

Our take: Whampoa Makan Place is a well-regarded hawker centre in Novena, known for its affordable and diverse food options.

Many stalls open as early as 6 am, making it a popular spot for breakfast and early lunch.

We note that popular stalls, such as Tanglin Carrot Cake, Beach Road Fish Soup, and Uncle Sim's Traditional Lor Mee, often draw queues, so a 'divide and conquer' strategy for groups is advisable.

While some reviewers praise the 'wok hey' of the Hokkien Mee and the crispy, plump oysters in the Fried Oyster ($10), others found certain dishes, like the Hokkien Mee ($6) and Mama Noodles ($8), to be underwhelming or lacking in flavour.

The Whampoa beancurd, originating from a corner stall, is also a local favourite, available from 7 am.

We think it's a solid choice for a casual, budget-friendly meal, especially if you arrive early to beat the crowds and secure a seat.

Best for a diverse hawker experience, but be prepared for potential hits and misses across different stalls.

Food was alright, have some famous stalls here. The porridge was surprisingly good. Not the most cleanest and ventilated place but have to come early afternoon if not most stalls are closed.

Hokkien mee and oyster omelette are best comfort food. Hokkien mee looks drier but the wok hey is still there. Oyster omelette is crispy and oysters are juicy and plump.
