The best food near Clarke Quay MRT is in Clarke Quay Central directly above the station, with bak kut teh, dim sum, Hong Kong cha chaan teng fare, nasi padang and vegan burgers, plus chilli crab and riverside bars a short walk away at Riverside Point and CQ @ Clarke Quay. Prices run from around $5 for hawker plates at Hong Lim Food Centre (about 5 minutes from Exit A) to $60 or more per person for crab dinners by the Singapore River. The original Song Fa Bak Kut Teh outlet is about 3 minutes from Exit A, and halal diners should note that MUIS-certified sit-down options are limited (Tongue Tip Lanzhou Beef Noodles at Chinatown Point is the closest). Tip: book riverside seafood tables for dinner, and go to Hong Lim before 2pm, as most hawker stalls there close by mid-afternoon.
