Before you go
Does Tanglin Halt Market close for cleaning?
Yes, four times a year. NEA's schedule for Tanglin Halt Market shows a one-day shutdown in each of the first three quarters, with the final one of the year stretching to three days. All stalls close together on those days, so look at NEA's closure list before you make a special trip across town.

How old is Tanglin Halt Market, and what does it hold?
It opened in 1964 and was given a facelift in 2003. NEA lists 28 cooked-food stalls and 89 market stalls at 48A Tanglin Halt Road, so the wet market is the larger half of the building, and the cooked-food side is where you'll eat. NEA calls it an iconic hawker centre within the estate.
