The best food at Alexandra Village Food Centre includes Depot Road Zhen Shan Mei's claypot laksa, Hong Kong Yummy Soup's Bib Gourmand double-boiled soups, Xiang Jiang soya sauce chicken, Zhang Ji's xiao long bao and Leon Kee's bak kut teh. The centre at 120 Bukit Merah Lane 1 reopened in July 2025 after a roughly three-month renovation, and most of its veteran stalls have returned. Most dishes cost from around $3.50 to $8; only the BBQ seafood stall goes higher. Breakfast and lunch stalls such as the laksa, wanton mee and crystal dumplings close by 2-3pm and many skip one weekday, while satay, BBQ stingray and claypot dishes take over in the evening, so time your visit to the stall you want.
