10 Must Try Food Stalls In Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre

Singapore’s hawker centres are a result of the rapid urbanisation of our island nation. Often they were built because of the issue of unhygienic food and unlicensed street hawkers, as well as to provide more food options to the then less affluent segment of the population. With a history dating back to 1972, Ghim Moh Food Centre is not half a century old yet it remains a popular food haunt for many. Many of its 70 stalls here have gone through facelifts and a change of hands. but one thing remains: unpretentious good food. Here are some of its best stalls!

Ghim Moh Carrot Cake (#01-16)

Whether you’re team white or team black carrot cake, eat your fill at Ghim Moh Carrot Cake. The carrot cake here is made by hand, steamed, then fried to perfection.

Ghim Moh Chwee Kueh (#01-31)

Another well-deserved Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient, everything here is made from scratch with no shortcuts. The elderly couple running the stall make the chye po with preserved radish, garlic and lard. They don't use any sugar in the recipe, so the chwee kueh here is of the savoury variety and not savoury sweet like most others. It does take some getting used to, but we definitely see why it ha...

End your meal at Ghim Moh Market with a sweet note! Locals love Granny’s Pancake for their min jiang kueh, which comes in a variety of flavours.

Hin Fried Hor Fun (#01-56)

This stall specialises in fried hor fun and with two different types of sauce! You can also choose from beef, sliced fish or prawns as your protein.
