Holland Village Food Centre recently reopened after three months of renovation works, and to tag on to that piece of good news is another: a second level of new stalls that are slated to open in the near future! Pop into the refurbished food centre, and you’ll find the same familiar level of stalls, and half a level down, towards the back, another spread of soon-to-open hawker stalls. If you’ve never been to the food centre, here’s our round-up of the 10 best stalls to check out.

Ming Fa Fishball Noodles is no stranger to the hawker scene, with 12 outlets islandwide. They’ve got a history that dates back to 1946, when they were a pushcart in a Chinatown alleyway hawking handmade fishballs and noodles. Today, their fishballs are still made fresh every day with 100% yellowtail fish paste, and no preservatives added.
Try a bowl of Fishball Noodle ($4/$5) to have a taste of Ming Fa’s famous fish balls. Otherwise, their Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle ($4.50/$5.50), AKA bak chor mee, is a popular choice too! Alternatively, there’s Meatball Noodle ($4.50/$5.50) and Chicken Chop Noodle ($4.50/$6) for heartier options.
Unit number: #01-14
Opening hours: Daily 8am to 8pm

Chen Ji Wanton Noodle takes over from what used to be Liang Ji Wanton Noodle, selling—you guessed it, wonton mee. A plate of wonton mee is priced here at $4.50 or $5, regardless if you want it dry or in soup. The dry option comes with both fried and boiled dumplings, though you could add on Soup or Fried Wanton on the side for $4, which gets you 12 dumplings. If wonton mee isn’t your jam, consider their Chicken Feet Noodle ($5) or even Hainanese Noodle ($5), a dish that stars thick bee hoon in a starchy, flavourful soup, and beef slices.
Unit number: #01-18
Opening hours: Daily 8am to 9:30pm

It’s not a Holland Village Food Centre guide without listing Holland V Fried Bee Hoon as a stall to visit. This corner stall is open from 6am in the mornings and is typically sold out before lunch even starts. It’s no surprise to see a long queue of fans waiting in line for their economic bee hoon fix—bee hoon and noodles are priced at $1.20 or $1.50, depending on portion size, while add-ons include chicken wing ($1.40), chicken cutlet ($1.40), fish fillet ($0.90) and luncheon meat ($0.60). Adding an egg would set you back another $0.50, as would vegetables.
