Zion Riverside Food Centre

Zion Riverside Food Centre is a National Environment Agency-managed hawker centre at 70 Zion Road in the Tanglin / River Valley area of Singapore, near the Singapore River and Great World City. Built in 1976 to resettle street hawkers, it houses around 30-40 stalls serving affordable local dishes. It is notable for its riverside location and long-standing popular stalls, including Michelin-recognised fried kway teow and char siew vendors.

Visitors can expect an open-air, single-storey hawker centre with rows of food stalls surrounding communal tables and chairs under a high-pitched roof with fans. The setting is casual and bustling, located beside the Singapore River near Zion Road. Visitors can walk between stalls to order cooked food, drinks and desserts, eat at shared seating, and observe local hawker preparation. The centre is functional rather than decorative, focused on affordable dining.

Built in 1976 to resettle street hawkers from the Zion Road and Great World area as part of Singapore's hawker resettlement programme. It has been managed by the National Environment Agency and its predecessors as part of the public hawker centre network providing affordable cooked food and regulated hygiene standards.

Part of Singapore's hawker culture, inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2020. Functions as a community dining room where residents of diverse backgrounds share affordable multicultural cuisine in a casual, communal setting along the Singapore River.
