I always thought Singapore is one of the most expensive country, food price is also too expensive for me, BUT, NOT HERE. I was amazed by the huge selection of food and guess what? The food price is cheap as well. Most of the stalls are Chinese foods, but they have other choices as well. Some stalls really have a long queue. I wish they could open until night because most of them were closed at 8pm when I wanted to return back for dinner

We happened across this building upon following advice from other tourists on the Fun Vee Bus. We entered the Chinese Complex in Chinatown and looked at the many stalls on the ground floor selling clothes and shoes. We took the escalator to the first floor where we were overwhelmed with the variety of tiny food stalls selling authentic hot food. We ate the Popiah (excellent cold spring rolls) and hot spring rolls. I had a teenager who was very fussy about trying the food but she was easily won over! We had the "donut" and "butterfly" desert - both deep fried and yum. We drank iced tea which was also excellent. The food was fantastic and we would return however we visited Gluttons Bay hawker food centre at the marina area and plan to go to Newton Food hawker place so if time permits we will. The small lanes leading off the Chinatown Complex held stalls selling fans, clothes, chopsticks, fresh fruit, food, clothes etc and were great to walk around. There were lanterns strung up and stalls selling mooncackes for the lantern festival.

Maybe too many different choices of cuisine (Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian), but you can find your own. Also many street food. Can seat outside

Had a huge 2-course dinner for under S$9 last night. Most places don't appear to actually have a menu so it's worth watching what other people have and ask for the same. Also, cash appears to be the only option. I managed to get a good assortment of spring rolls and other pastries followed by some stir fried phat noodles with seafood - delicious. Large beer for S$5.50 was pretty good and far cheaper than at the hotel (S$12 for a small beet).
