Food Near Buangkok MRT: 18 Best Places to Eat by Exit (2026)
Buangkok is a quiet residential estate in Sengkang, and its food scene centres on Buangkok Hawker Centre (70 Compassvale Bow), which opened in late 2023 with around 38 stalls and more than 700 seats, a short walk from Buangkok MRT. The line-up is affordable and regional: Penang-style duck egg char kway teow, Hainanese chicken rice, kway chap, lor mee and fried Hokkien mee, alongside halal Turkish, Malay and Indian-Muslim stalls. Outside this hawker centre the estate has mostly HDB coffeeshops rather than sit-down restaurants, so the hawker centre is the main dining draw.
