Amoy Street Food Centre

Amoy Street Food Centre is a two-storey hawker centre located at 7 Maxwell Road in the Downtown Core, within the Maxwell sub-zone. Opened in 1983, it houses over 130 cooked food stalls and is a central dining hub for the Central Business District. It is notable for its wide variety of affordable Singaporean dishes, including several Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognized stalls, and for representing Singapore's hawker culture.

Visitors can expect a large, bustling indoor hawker centre with two levels of food stalls and communal seating. The ground floor and second floor offer open-air and sheltered tables with tray-return stations. Stalls serve Chinese, Malay, Indian and other local cuisines including chicken rice, char kway teow, fish soup, and curry. The environment is casual and crowded during weekday lunch hours, with self-service ordering and payment at individual stalls.

Built in 1983 by the former Urban Redevelopment Authority and managed by the National Environment Agency, Amoy Street Food Centre was developed to resettle street hawkers from Amoy Street and surrounding areas into a purpose-built, hygienic facility as part of Singapore's hawker resettlement programme in the 1970s-1980s.

The food centre is a representative example of Singapore's hawker culture, which was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2020. It showcases multicultural culinary traditions with Chinese, Malay and Indian dishes and serves as a communal dining space for the Central Business District community.
