Albert Centre Market & Food Centre

Albert Centre Market & Food Centre is a well-known hawker centre and wet market located at 270 Queen Street in the Rochor planning area, near Bugis in central Singapore. Established to resettle street hawkers from the former Albert Street, it houses over 80 stalls across market and cooked food sections. It is notable for its central location, affordable local dishes, and as a representative example of Singapore's hawker culture.

Visitors can expect a busy, multi-storey hawker centre with a wet market selling fresh produce, meat and seafood on the lower level and a large cooked food centre with rows of hawker stalls offering local dishes such as wanton noodles, fish soup, and economic rice. The setting is functional and open-air with shared table seating, tray-return stations, and a lively local crowd. The centre is located in the Bugis-Rochor area surrounded by shops, temples and shopping malls.

The centre was built to resettle hawkers and market vendors from the former Albert Street Market and surrounding street hawking areas in the Bugis-Rochor district. Albert Street was once a prominent street market area before urban redevelopment in the 1980s, and the current Albert Centre Market & Food Centre continues that market heritage in a purpose-built facility managed by the National Environment Agency.

The food centre is part of Singapore's hawker culture, recognised on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It serves as a community dining space where diverse local cuisines are preserved and shared at affordable prices, reflecting everyday food heritage in central Singapore.
