Best Chong Boon Market stalls
If you live in Ang Mo Kio, especially around Avenue 10, you’ll definitely know of Chong Boon Market & Food Centre. The hawker centre, next to a wet market, is quite the popular pick for AMK heartlanders to grab a quick meal. There’s also a huge variety of popular stalls, selling dishes such as fish soup, mee rebus, bak kut teh and plenty more.
Here’s our guide to the best Chong Boon Market food stalls. It’s worth noting that the food centre is best to visit when it’s earlier in the day, as quite a number of the stalls close before dinner.

Cai Ji Fried Fish Soup is one of the most popular fish soup stalls in Ang Mo Kio. They’re best known for offering generous bowls of Red Grouper Fish Soup, priced at $10. If the price sounds steep to you, the quality and the freshness of the fish are, we assure you, very worth it. Else, get their regular Sliced Fish Soup, which starts at $5, or the Double Taste Fish Soup, from $5.50. The latter includes the parcels of golden-brown fried fish slices, which the stall is known for.Â
