Packed with that must-have wok hei flavour, this beloved Chomp Chomp hokkien mee comprises thick yellow noodles and thin bee hoon (rice vermicelli) cooked with prawns and squid and soaking in an umami-rich broth that’s been simmered for hours.  

Take note of Chomp Chomp’s opening hours though — Ah Hock opens only in the evening, making it one of the popular dinner and supper spots in the hawker centre.

Given its legendary status, be prepared for a long wait of at least 30 to 45 minutes while the uncle cooks up a storm.

Price range: $

Crowd favourites: Ah Hock’s Hokkien mee (from S$4) bursts with immense flavour. It’s slightly smoky, and you can instantly taste the natural sweetness of the prawn with each bite. Each plate is served with a dollop of delicious sambal chill on the side.

5. Swee Heng Wanton Noodle

Chomp Chomp Food Centre, 01-12, 20 Kensington Park Road
Open: Thursday to Tuesday (4.30pm to 12.30am)

Why visit? Swee Heng Wanton Noodle has been operating at Chomp Chomp hawker centre for more than four decades, and it has been serving up consistently satisfying noodles.

Price range: $

Chomp Chomp Food Centre, 01-23, 20 Kensington Park Road
Open: Monday to Sunday (4pm to 12am)

Why visit?  If you’re looking for a quick bite that isn’t too filling, consider popping by Chomp Chomp Rojak and Popiah. 

The Chinese-style rojak is a medley of fruits and vegetables of cucumber chunks, fried dough fritters, tau pok, crunchy turnip, and tangy pineapple slices, drizzled in a sweet sauce and liberally coated with a layer of roasted peanuts. It’s just the right balance of sweet and crunch.   

Price range: $

Crowd favourites: Besides the rojak (from S$3), another equally tasty alternative is the hand-rolled popiah (S$4).

Price range: $
