Changi Village Hawker Centre reopens after 3-month closure; many original stalls remain
The wait is finally over for foodies in the east of Singapore: Changi Village Hawker Centre is open for business from Tuesday (Nov 15) after a three-month closure for repair and redecoration (R&R) works.
The hawker centre, which has 130 stalls and 231 tables, was temporarily closed from Aug 15 to Nov 14 for R&R works conducted by the East Coast Town Council.
HungryGoWhere understands that several of its original stalls, many of them well-known, are still operating at Changi Village Hawker Centre.
For instance, you can still dig into the delicious satay bee hoon (S$5) from the legendary Ho Guan Satay Bee Hoon stall. The dish is known for its thick, creamy and aromatic satay gravy that’s made from fresh ground peanuts and spices.
Fans of the popular Weng Kee Ipoh Hor Fun will be happy to know it’s still operating at Changi Village Hawker Centre as well. Its signature dish — Ipoh hor fun noodles (S$4) — has been covered by various Singapore media outlets and is known for its flavourful yet light gravy.
Prefer Malay cuisine? Tuck into the signature nasi lemak sets (from S$3.50) by Mizzy Corner Nasi Lemak, one of the more popular stalls at the hawker centre. Founded in 1997, the Muslim-owned stall is known for its snaking queues and fluffy, aromatic coconut rice.
If you have a sweet tooth, head to Makan Melaka. Foodies all over Singapore used to travel to Changi Village to get a taste of its original cendol, an iced dessert that comes with a generous serving of gula melaka and coconut milk.
As part of the R&R works, the Changi Village Hawker Centre underwent general repainting, replacement of anti-slip floor tiles and upgrading of the toilets, the town council said in a press statement on Tuesday. For instance, a new feet-wash bay has been installed to allow Changi beachgoers to rinse their feet before entering the hawker centre.
An R&R programme is done to ensure that common facilities are well-maintained and functioning efficiently for residents. The next time the hawker centre is scheduled for R&R works is 2029.
Makan Melaka is on the GrabFood delivery service. You can also book a ride to Changi Village Hawker Centre.
