1. Chinatown Complex & Food Centre (Chicken Rice & Noodle)
You can find the place conveniently located in the heart of Chinatown. The 35 years old food centre has undergone a full renovation and reported to cost 2.5 million. So when you visit here expect fully furnished and cleaner toilets. They also installed netting to prevent birds from flying in. There is also new signage and more fans to keep the place cool.
For starters, Chinatown Complex gave birth to Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle. They are also known as the world’s cheapest Michelin-star restaurant. Since Chinatown Complex is full of Hawkers, you can find different types of dishes. A place to eat and pay way less compared to other Chinese restaurants in Singapore. A lot of stalls serve similar Chinese foods, so expect prices to be low but satisfying.

2. Tsukado Nojo (Chicken Hotpot – Chinatown Point)
Are you bringing a guest with you and heading to Chinatown? Tsukado Nojo will not disappoint you and your friends. The service is excellent. The Japanese Chicken Hotpot concept opened first at Singapore’s plaza in 2012. Today, queues are usual outside Tsukada Nojo. Guests are there for only one thing, the Bijin Nabe. You can translate this to “beauty pot.” The dish is a mixture of several fresh ingredients.
This dish consists of myriad produce, and heavy chicken broth served in a simmering pot. The soup base is full of collagen and doesn’t have a strong taste. Locales often introduce this eatery to overseas guests. One reason is because the place is uncommon. They serve exciting soup (tasty, healthy, and delicious). Guests with a more refined tongue will appreciate the food here!

7. Maxwell Food Centre – Chicken Rice
Maxwell Food Centre is a bit smaller than our number one on the list (Chinatown Food Centre). Also, Maxwell Food Centre tends to be more prevalent in locales with Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice. If you’re fond of chicken rice, get ready to queue up early morning.
Locales may argue that chicken rice is one of Singapore’s national dishes. I’m not quite sure how official that is, but Singaporeans are in love with this dish based on what I saw. Best if you plan to show up here on an empty stomach because you’ll end up full. Fret not; there are also other dishes worthy to dine on.

Where are the best Fried Flat noodles? Hill Street Fried Kway Teow is probably the top choice of many locales and tourists. Anthony Bourdain features the humble stall of Char Kway Teow and becomes a global food scene. He says, “How can anything this ugly be this good!”
