Best Golden Mile Food Centre food
Situated opposite the now-closed Golden Mile Tower Complex, which many people flocked to for cheap Thai food, Golden Mile Food Centre was sometimes overlooked by people looking for good food in the area. A shame really, considering how much yummy grub the place offers. This listicle serves as a guide to some of the best stalls in the hawker centre.

1. Chung Cheng Chilli Prawn Noodles
One of the stalls here that draws long queues daily is Chung Cheng Chilli Prawn Noodles, and it’s not surprising why. Known for their house-made signature chilli sauce, the uncle preparing their Chilli Mee (from $4.50) shows no mercy as he adds spoonful after spoonful of the piquant sauce into the noodles. Each bowl comes with pieces of pork ribs, prawns, taupok, fishcake, as well as a hard-boiled egg. Remember to mix it all up so that you don’t eat the chilli by itself.

Be sure to try dishes such as Ayam Pongteh ($12), Beef Rendang ($14), and Satay Ayam ($8) for a taste of some perennial Peranakan classics done right.

3. Ashes Burnnit
Run by the ex-founders of popular Western food joint Burgs by Project Warung, Ashes Burnnit sells affordable burgers at Golden Mile Food Centre. Their burgers start from $8.40, with the Ashes Cheeseburger being the popular option. Served with a striking charcoal bun, the burger patties are smashed on the grill for an extra charred crust. Each order comes served with thick-cut fries too. The stall also has unique charcoal roti john, such as the Cheesy Fish Burger ($10), a mammoth of a burger filled with charred fish fillet, omelette, smoked cheese and more.

More crowd favourites include the Wonton In Chilli Oil ($6 for 10), where silky meat dumplings are tossed in a tangy chilli-vinegar dressing, and the Braised Beef Noodles ($6), served with a generous helping of la mian and thick chunks of braised beef and vegetables.

5. Mr Baguette
Mr Baguette is the only place in Singapore that sells lava baguettes. Despite the glorious molten fillings, the baguette still had a good crisp on the outside. One of the must-tries here would be their Hazelnut Lava ($2.80). Packed with a rich hazelnut chocolate filling, this is one for all with a sweet tooth! My personal favourite would be their savoury Cheese Lava ($2.80) that’s brimming with hot, melted cheese.

6. 75 Ah Balling Peanut Soup
To tang yuan lovers, 75 Ah Balling Peanut Soup is definitely not a new name. Since they started business in 1947, they have been famous for old-school tang yuan that come with explosive fillings. While their Peanut Soup is their best-seller, do try their Ginger Soup and Almond Milk as well. Each bowl of their dessert comes with four pieces of glutinous rice balls, with fillings such as peanut, sesame, and yam to choose from. A bowl of tang yuan starts from $2.80, with a minimum of four pieces per order.

7. Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee
Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee is helmed by an old couple, where the uncle will fry each batch of Hokkien Mee ($5) with care. The classic mix of wok hei-filled yellow noodles and bee hoon is left to simmer in a seafood stock, leaving a natural sweetness on the dish. The wok hei here is the stall’s claim to fame—fans have noted how much aroma and flavour it adds to the dish. Don’t miss out on their sambal chilli, too, which is said to be wonderfully spicy, tangy, and fragrant.
Unit number: #B1-34
Opening hours: Tue & Thurs-Sun 10am to 5pm, Mon 10am to 3pm

8. Chef Choo Signature
Chef Choo Signature is run by a chef who had previously worked for the likes of Regent and Grand Hyatt, so you can expect quality Western eats here whipped up with plenty of skill. The Sizzling Seafood Spaghetti (from $8.40), a twist on the regular marinara, comes highly recommended—the excellent flavours and fresh seafood makes it worth a shot. Prices are kept affordable here, with Spaghetti Carbonara ($7.50) and Chicken Chop ($6.90) all ringing in the till at under $10.

9. Braise Lu Zhi Jia
Lu rou fan is far from uncommon in Singapore these days, but lu rou fan as special as the one Braise Lu Zhi Jia serves up is far from common. A bowl of Braised Pork Rice costs a mere $3.50, and yet it is filled with juicy and succulent pork, along with other ingredients such as black fungus, xiao bai cai, shiitake mushrooms, pressed tofu, and tau pok. You can get your lu rou fun with other cuts of meat too, such as in the Braised Pork Belly Set ($5.50) and Braised Pork Cheek Set ($8.50).

10. Wen Li Taiwanese Food
The previous entry, while known for their lu rou fan, doesn’t exactly serve the classic Taiwanese rendition of it, nor does it have other Taiwanese dishes on its menu. For that, go to Wen Li Taiwanese Food for its tasty and affordable eats. There is, of course, the Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice Set ($5.50), but also Oyster Mee Sua ($5), Homemade Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken ($5) and more. All of these dishes are great for their price points, and taste pretty authentic to boot.

Another good beef noodle stall at Golden Mile Food Centre, Bugis Long House Lim Kee Beef Noodle will satisfy your cravings for hearty and savoury noods. Whether you get the Mixed Beef Soup (from $6) or Beef Brisket Soup (from $7), you can expect your bowl to have tender beef slices, silky hor fun noodles, and either an aromatic broth or a viscous, flavourful gravy. There’s also the Beef Tendon and Beef Brisket Herbal Pot ($10), which features a comforting, herbal soup.

12. Cat In The Hat
It’s not every day you can find cafe-style bakes at a hawker centre, but Cat In The Hat delivers just that. The hawker stall has affordable baked goodies that will satisfy your sweet tooth after a savoury meal. Run by a mother-daughter pair, their well-loved bakes include the nutty Pecan Tart ($4.70) and the sweet Fig & Honey Tart ($4.50). Other must-tries include the unique Squid Ink & Burrata Cheese Financier ($3.50) and Oolong Longan Financier ($3.20).

To cap off any meal at Golden Mile Food Centre, especially those on a hot, sultry day, be sure to drop by Zhao An Granny Grass Jelly for a bowl of ice cold Grass Jelly (from $2).

They serve their grass jelly with Nata De Coco and Longan.

Yew Chuan Claypot Rice is a stall that constantly draws long queues, thanks to their moreish claypot rice. The signature Claypot Chicken Rice starts from $15, and comes with tender chicken chunks, Chinese sausage, salted fish, and vegetables. The rice in each claypot is said to be particularly fragrant and savoury, so fans of claypot rice will surely love it.

Nothing screams comfort food more than a bowl of dry beef noodles from Kheng Fatt Hainanese Beef Noodles. Drenched in a thick gooey gravy, their Dry Sliced Beef Noodles ($5) comes with a handful of springy rice noodles and a generous amount of pinkish beef slices. They have the soup version as well, if you prefer something lighter on the palate. For a greater variety of textures in your bowl, get the Beef Balls and Tendon Noodles ($8) for a combination of tender beef slices and chewy beef balls.

There’s nothing quite like the joy of sinking your teeth into a traditional deep-fried oyster cake. With Oyster Boy, you can enjoy the crunch of the golden batter that envelops a juicy meat and oyster filling.

Chicken rice is considered a staple at many hawker centres, but Da Po Hainanese Chicken Rice & Curry Chicken Noodle disrupts the standard with their flavourful chicken curry noodles too. Their signature Hainanese Chicken Rice (from $5) sells out by early afternoon due to its popularity, so if you didn’t manage to get an order of that, try the Curry Chicken Noodle (from $6), where fragrant curry broth meets bean sprouts, fish cake and delicious fried pig skin.

18. Kopi More
Image credit: @indulgentprose
Kopi More is a popular stall that serves not just any Nanyang kopi, but espresso-based kopi. ICYMI, they went viral on Makansutra’s Instagram Reel with close to 200K views at the time of writing.
Start your morning with a cup of hot coffee ($2.50) here, or beat the heat with an iced coffee ($2.80). While prices are not as cheap as what you’d get at hawker centres, since all drinks are made with espresso here, the coffee is said to be rich and robust with a gorgeous crema top. For a winning combination of both tea and coffee, we recommend trying their Yin Yang ($3.20/$3.50) instead.
