The take

The breakfast capital: chwee kueh, steamed rice cakes under preserved radish, and lor mee (noodles in a thick braised gravy), plus a wet market where the estate buys its fish, meat and vegetables. We'd go early and walk the old estate afterwards.

Hawker stalls upstairs, wet market downstairs

Before you go

How many stalls are at Tiong Bahru Market?

The market stalls are on the ground floor and the cooked food stalls are on the second floor, with a carpark on the third. NEA counts 259 market stalls and 83 cooked food stalls, and calls it the fourth largest hawker centre in Singapore. For breakfast, we'd head upstairs first and browse the wet market on the way out.

Does Tiong Bahru Market close for cleaning?

Tiong Bahru Market is on NEA's list of cleaning closures, with four short closures a year of one to two days each. Every stall is shut on those days, so a lunch plan at the market is worth a quick look at the dates. The list names Tiong Bahru Market directly, so they take a minute to find.
