Largest Hawkers’ Street yet opens at revamped Tangs Plaza basement with six Michelin-recognised names

The basement of Tangs Singapore in Orchard has finally re-opened after six months, with a raft of refreshed brands under one roof. 

Among them is Hawkers’ Street, a food court that brings together six well-known hawker brands that have been recognised on the Michelin Guide, in addition to nine other stalls.

With this new opening, Hawkers’ Street now counts five outlets across Singapore, adding Tangs Plaza to its existing locations at Ion Orchard, Bukit Panjang Plaza, Tampines 1, and Eastpoint Mall.

Hawkers’ Street food courts typically include established brands that have been recognised on the Michelin Bib Gourmand or Selected list as part of their hawker line-up. 

For Tangs, these are the ones in question: Fei Fei Roasted Noodle, Hup Hong Chicken Rice, Loong Kee Yong Tau Fu, Springleaf Prata Place, Tai Seng Fish Soup, and Tai Wah Pork Noodle. 

While these established favourites are bound to draw the crowds, some of the other stalls in Hawkers’ Street serve up mouth-watering options that are just as irresistible.

So, if you’re in the area — maybe taking a shopping break — and craving good food at a friendlier price point, this is the spot to check out. 

Beyond the usual award-winners, here are the stalls that surprised us most.

What we enjoyed at Tangs Plaza’s Hawker Street

Springleaf Prata Place (Stall 07)

Late-night supper fans will be no stranger to Springleaf Prata Place. Renowned for its inventive and consistently high-quality pratas, the brand has been recognised in the Michelin Guide Singapore since 2019 — and today stands as one of the six Michelin-recognised names featured at Hawkers’ Street in Tangs.

Of course, the pratas are the stars here. We had the egg prata (S$2.60) — crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and made even better when dipped into its rich curry. If you’re after something more filling, the masala chicken (S$6) served with fragrant biryani rice and crunchy papadum will hit the spot.

Hill Street Hainanese Curry Rice (Stall 03)

Fragrantly spicy meats atop a hot plate of steamed rice — mmm. That’s what Hill Street Hainanese Curry Rice is best known for.

With just three outlets across the island, the beloved curry rice brand has now landed right in town — the perfect spot for a quick comfort fix. 

Unapologetically indulgent, each plate is smothered in fragrant curry gravy and braised sauce. The signature curry rice (S$9.30) comes loaded with pork belly, pork chop, cabbage, and egg — a hearty mess of flavours that hits all the right notes.

Hwa Heng Beef Noodle (Stall 6B)

Hwa Heng Beef Noodles is one of Singapore’s oldest surviving beef noodle brands, with its roots tracing back to a humble pushcart stall in 1948. More than 70 years later, the legacy lives on — with numerous outlets across Singapore, including a new comforting favourite at Hawkers’ Street in Tangs.

Decades on, its beef noodles remain a standout — and one of our favourites at Hawkers’ Street. Its must-try is the signature mixed beef with tendon noodles (from S$10.50), served either with soup or its signature gravy. We recommend the dry version: Noodles coated in a rich, starchy beef gravy and topped with tender, flavourful beef, served alongside a small bowl of soup.

Ramen King (Stall 05)

Ramen King, a well-known ramen chain often spotted in Singapore’s everyday kopitiams, has now made its way to Hawkers’ Street, too. If you’re after an affordable, yet satisfying bowl of ramen, this is the spot.

As ramen lovers who never had much of an impression of Ramen King, we found the tonkotsu ramen (S$9) to be a pleasant surprise. The broth was thick, fragrant, and deeply savoury — so good we found ourselves slurping it down until we barely had space left for the rest of our meal. The noodles held up well, too — yellow, springy, and still firm even after sitting in the broth for a while. Altogether, a hearty bowl that far exceeded expectations.

The Viet Roti (Kiosk 1)

Among Singaporean staples such as chicken rice and wanton noodles, Vietnamese food is less commonly found at hawkers. But at Hawkers’ Street in Tangs, you’ll find something a little out of the ordinary — Viet Roti. From the creator of Joo Chiat Ca Phe and the team behind the renowned Ocean Curry Fish Head, it carries a legacy of Peranakan-inspired flavours in its Singapore-style banh mi.

Its signatures include the lemongrass beef slice banh mi (S$8.80) and the honey glazed chicken thigh banh mi (S$7.80) — both loaded with juicy, marinated meats, crisp vegetables, and house-made sauces tucked into a freshly baked, fluffy-yet-crusty baguette. You can also pair your banh mi with prawn summer rolls (S$6.50) on the side.

Auntie Jessie Rojak (Stall 9A)

Don’t sleep on one of Singapore’s local foodie gems: Rojak. Auntie Jessie Rojak is located right beside The Viet Roti, so you might want to snag a plate after. This simple dish may seem humble, but it packs layers of flavour and texture that’s oh-so-comforting.

Tossed in rich prawn paste, the traditional rojak (from S$6) hits all the sweet, savoury and tangy cravings at once.
