Best Stalls at Tampines Round Market: 12 Best Spots (2026)
Tampines Round Market & Food Centre, established in 1983 at Block 137 Tampines Street 11, is one of the East's best-loved hawker landmarks — a doughnut-shaped wet market ringed by old-school food stalls. It draws crowds from breakfast onwards, and several stalls are known to sell out well before noon. The stalls below are among the market's most talked-about; note that this is a single hawker centre, so every venue sits in the same Tampines building rather than being spread island-wide.

Your questions answered
Where is Tampines Round Market & Food Centre and how do I get there?
It is at Block 137 Tampines Street 11, Singapore 521137 — a distinctive doughnut-shaped market and hawker centre established in 1983. The nearest MRT is Tampines (East-West and Downtown Lines), roughly a 10-15 minute walk or a short bus ride away.
What time should I go, and do stalls really sell out?
Go early. This is primarily a breakfast-and-lunch market; many stalls open around 6-7am and several popular ones sell out well before noon. 137 Lor Mee can be gone by mid-morning and Yi Le's nasi lemak often sells out within the first hour.
How much does a meal cost here?
It is very affordable hawker pricing. Most noodle, rice and porridge dishes run about S$3-7, kueh and desserts are around S$1-2.50, and only cooked-to-order zi char at Shen Li climbs higher. A filling breakfast for one is easily under S$6.
Are there halal or vegetarian-friendly options?
Most stalls here are Chinese and serve pork, so they are not halal. There is no halal-certified stall confirmed at the time of writing. Rajarani Thosai offers South Indian thosai and appam that suit vegetarians, but always confirm ingredients directly with the stallholder before ordering.
Are opening days and hours reliable?
Not always — individual stalls set their own rest days (commonly Monday or Tuesday) and close once they sell out, so hours can differ from any listing. It is worth checking a stall's social media or calling ahead, especially if you are making a special trip.
