The best food at Tiong Bahru Market is on the second-floor hawker centre at 30 Seng Poh Road, led by Michelin Bib Gourmand stalls Jian Bo Shui Kueh (chwee kueh), Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice and Hong Heng Fried Sotong Prawn Mee. Beyond these, the market is strongest in heritage breakfast and lunch fare: Loo's Hainanese Curry Rice, prawn, fishball and wanton noodles, porridge, fish soup and Cantonese roast meats. Most dishes cost from around $4 to $7. Many stalls open around 7am and close by 2-3pm, and several take Mondays off, so go before lunch; for dinner, Jian Bo, Shan Ji, Qing Yuan, Joo Chiat Beef King and Lee Hong Kee stay open into the evening.

What is the best food at Tiong Bahru Market?
The most famous stalls are Jian Bo Shui Kueh for chwee kueh and Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice, both on the 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand list, and Hong Heng Fried Sotong Prawn Mee, a Bib Gourmand stall since 2016. Loo's Hainanese Curry Rice, Koh Brothers Pig's Organ Soup, Min Nan Pork Ribs Prawn Noodle and Lor Mee 178 are other long-time favourites.
What are Tiong Bahru Market's opening hours?
Hours are set by each stall. Most open from about 7am and close between 1pm and 3pm, and many rest on Mondays or another weekday. A few stalls trade into the evening, including Jian Bo Shui Kueh (daily to 8pm), Shan Ji La Mian Xiao Long Bao (daily to 10pm), Joo Chiat Beef King (to 8pm, closed Tue) and Tiong Bahru Fried Kway Teow (Sat-Mon to 10pm).

Are there halal options at Tiong Bahru Market?
Halal options are limited because many stalls serve pork. Super Shiok Nasi Lemak serves Malay-style nasi lemak, but a current halal certificate for this outlet could not be confirmed, and the halal-certified nasi lemak stall The CoCo Rice closed in March 2024. Muslim diners should check for a MUIS certificate at the stall or in the MUIS halal directory.
Where is Tiong Bahru Market and which MRT is nearest?
Tiong Bahru Market is at 30 Seng Poh Road, Singapore 168898, with the wet market on the ground floor and the hawker centre upstairs. Havelock MRT (Thomson-East Coast Line) and Tiong Bahru MRT (East-West Line) are both within about a 10-minute walk.
When is the best time to visit Tiong Bahru Market?
Weekday mornings between about 8am and 11am are the best time to try the most stalls with shorter queues. Weekend late mornings are the busiest, and popular items such as Hong Heng's Hokkien mee and Hui Ji's fishballs can sell out by early afternoon. The market reopened in July 2025 after a three-month renovation.
