Chinatown Complex

Chinatown Complex is a large mixed-use development at 335 Smith Street in Chinatown, Outram, Singapore. Completed in 1983, it houses Singapore's largest hawker centre with over 260 food stalls, alongside a wet market and retail shops. It is notable for affordable local cuisine, including the Michelin-recognized Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice stall, and serves as a central community hub reflecting Chinatown's food culture and daily market life.

Visitors can expect a large, multi-storey complex with a bustling ground-floor hawker centre and wet market, and upper floors with shops selling clothing, souvenirs and household goods. The environment is busy and functional, with rows of food stalls offering Chinese, Malay, Indian and local Singaporean dishes, communal seating, and market stalls selling fresh produce, meat, seafood and dry goods. The complex is located in the heart of Chinatown, surrounded by heritage shophouses, temples and street markets.

Completed in 1983 by the Housing and Development Board as part of the redevelopment of Chinatown, the complex was built to resettle street hawkers and market vendors into a modern, hygienic facility. It consolidated the area's long-standing street trading tradition and remains Singapore's largest hawker centre by number of stalls.

Represents Singapore's hawker culture, inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and showcases multicultural local cuisine and traditional market practices. It functions as a key community dining and social space for residents and visitors in Chinatown.
