The take

A small food centre where the biryani stall always has a queue. It's close to the Botanic Gardens, so we'd eat here after a morning walk there. Bring cash.

Good to know

About 32 cooked-food stalls

Built in 1974; the 2002 upgrade made it the first hawker centre with solar panels

Selera Rasa, opened in 1998, is arguably its most famous stall, for nasi lemak

Finding it: Adam Road Food Centre, 2 Adam Road, Singapore 289876, in Bukit Timah
