Best Stalls at Mei Ling Market: 14 Best Spots (2026)
Mei Ling Market & Food Centre (159 Mei Chin Road, Singapore 140159) is a two-storey Queenstown hawker centre that has quietly become one of Singapore's most talked-about food destinations, drawing crowds well beyond its HDB neighbourhood. Its second-floor cooked-food section packs in old-school Teochew fishball noodles, Cantonese beef brisket, relocated CBD prawn mee and a wave of newer specialty stalls, including Michelin-recognised names. Most stalls are tiny one- or two-person operations with limited hours, so timing your visit matters. Prices, hours and stall status change often at hawker centres, so confirm before you go.

Your questions answered
Where is Mei Ling Market & Food Centre and how do I get there?
It is at 159 Mei Chin Road, Singapore 140159, in the Queenstown estate. The nearest MRT is Queenstown (East-West Line), roughly an 8-10 minute walk. The cooked-food stalls are on the second floor.
Which stalls are the must-tries?
For noodles, Hup Kee Teochew Fishball Noodles (Michelin-recognised) and Xin Lu are the classic fishball picks, while Lao Jie Fang does Michelin Guide-recognised Cantonese beef brisket. Sin Kee Famous Chicken Rice and Amoy Street Boon Kee Prawn Noodle are relocated big names worth queueing for.
How much does a meal cost here?
It is very affordable hawker pricing. Most noodle and rice dishes run about S$4-S$8, briyani up to around S$9.50, and drinks or kueh from S$1.20-S$4. Cash is safest, though some stalls take PayNow or QR payments.
Are there halal or vegetarian options?
No stall at Mei Ling Market is halal-certified, and many serve pork, lard or non-halal ingredients, so Muslim diners should treat it as non-halal and ask each stall directly. Vegetarian choices are limited; meat-free items like the huat kueh, fruit juice and some appam or kueh are the easiest options. Always confirm ingredients before ordering.
Do I need to worry about queues and opening hours?
Yes. Many stalls are one- or two-person operations that open only in the morning or for a few hours, close on rotating days, or stop when sold out. Popular stalls like the fishball noodles, chicken rice and beef brisket can have long queues, so arrive early and check current hours before making a trip.
