Worth a visit for the atmosphere but not worth for the food alone. Definitely living on its tourist appeal and past reputation. The food is fresh and good but nothing exceptional. And other than for the amazing variety of seafood on offer in one place you are essentially paying at least double the price for the same quality of food... More

There are numerous stalls at this hawker market. We eventually settled on stall 31 with Mei who was a real bright spark as opposed to the hard sell of the other stall owners. BBQ'ed Stingray, Chilli Crab, and Chilli Prawns. The food was ultra fresh. you will see signs advising what standard of cleanliness each stall has been assessed at.... More

Great food but a little more expensive than the usual local food centre but it is a one stop destination to try out all the local dishes. The outdoor experience is great but avoid the area during raining season at the last quarter of the year from Aug - Dec.

Complete rip-off. Ridiculous prices. Poor quality. Worst hawker center of Singapore. A disgrace to Singapore.

I took my foreign friends and colleagues to this food court many times before - the last time was in Feb 2013. They have a wide variety of stores and local dishes and drinks that you can choose. What my friends and I love most is Chili crab with buns, sambal stingray and satays. Highly recommend the first store on... More

I was so looking forward to sampling the hawker centers of Singapore but this one and another we tried were so disappointing. Not cheap and not good--I guess the food was decent enough, but nothing special and it looked like most stalls served the exact same food. It reminded me of a food court (and the real food court at... More

The Newton Food Center is one of the most famous Hawker centers in Singapore. It is also located close to Orchard Street and attracts lots of tourists. It is quite an experience - open air eating next to stalls that cook food to your order. If you are a vegetarian, there are some limited options but you won't go hungry.... More

There are so many places to eat in Singapore I never understood why this place is so popular. Agreed it's easy to get to but it cater for tourists, charges too much, often rips people off and you can find much better almost anywhere. Head to the east costs there is some great eating places there, but don't expect much... More
