Newton draws a lot of visitors, and the satay and grilled stingray still make a good late dinner after a show. For a hall with a bigger local following, try Old Airport Road.

Before you go
How many stalls are at Newton Food Centre?
NEA counts 83 cooked food stalls at Newton Food Centre and says it gets extremely crowded at dinner and supper. It is a stone's throw from Newton MRT, and it is known for BBQ seafood, Hokkien mee, po piah, satay and fried carrot cake. We'd arrive just before the dinner rush and pick a table first.

Does Newton Food Centre close for cleaning?
NEA schedules four cleaning closures a year at Newton Food Centre, lasting two to three days each. Because the whole centre shuts, Newton is one to check on NEA's closure list before you plan a meal there. The list names Newton Food Centre directly, so the dates take a minute to find.
