Old Airport Road Food Centre

Old Airport Road Food Centre is a large hawker centre at 51 Old Airport Road in the Geylang planning area of Singapore, near Dakota MRT station. Opened in 1973 on the site of the former Kallang Airport, it houses over 160 food stalls across two floors. Renowned for affordable local dishes such as char kway teow, satay, rojak and wanton mee, it is a longstanding showcase of Singapore's hawker culture and a popular destination for locals and visitors.

Visitors can expect a large, open-air two-storey hawker centre with rows of cooked-food stalls, shared tables and bench seating, and a bustling, casual atmosphere. The ground and upper floors offer a wide range of affordable Singaporean and Chinese, Malay and Indian dishes prepared at individual stalls. Visitors can walk between stalls, view menus and cooking, order directly from stallholders, and dine at communal tables. The centre is functional and utilitarian, with concrete floors, ceiling fans, and tray return stations.

Opened in 1973 to resettle street hawkers into a purpose-built facility. Built near the site of the former Kallang Airport, Singapore's first civil airport operating from 1937 to 1955, from which Old Airport Road takes its name. It has operated continuously as a major hawker centre for over 50 years.

A prominent example of Singapore's hawker culture, which was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2020. Serves as a community dining space reflecting the multicultural culinary traditions of Singapore, offering Chinese, Malay, Indian and other local cuisines in a communal setting.
