New global food hall Glow Seongsu brings international street flavors to Seoul
At Glow Seongsu, every meal is a journey overseas, but no passport is required A slice of Singapore, a bite of San Francisco and a sip of Hong Kong -- all without leaving Seoul. The newly opened Glow Seongsu, which officially launched on June 5, is quickly becoming the city's newest destination for global street food lovers. Nestled in the creative heart of Seongsu-dong, Seoul's ever-evolving hipster enclave, Glow Seongsu houses 10 independent culinary brands under one roof, offering an immersive and photogenic dining experience that spans continents. Marketed as Korea's first dedicated prawn noodle shop, Glow Seongsu's highlight is a stall serving authentic Singapore-style shrimp noodle soup, a dish many Korean travelers seek out on trips to Singapore. Now, the umami-packed delicacy, with its rich broth, can be enjoyed in Seoul. The venue, which bills itself as a 'global culinary village,' hosts a diverse lineup of food and beverage brands curated to represent local flavors from around the world. Visitors can stroll through the mini-village layout and sample dishes ranging from Turkish sand coffee and pistachio kadayif waffles to spicy Thai bubble tea and crispy San Francisco-style fish and chips. Among the vendors is My San Fran, which recreates the flavors of a classic seaside shack in California. For 12,000 won ($8.75), customers receive two thinly battered white fish fillets served with house-made potato crisps, a wedge of lemon and a side of tartar sauce. The addition of fried caper berries provides a briny, pickle-like contrast. The deep-fried fish fillet is praised for its golden, crispy coating and tender interior. A spicier variation of the fish and chips is also available, as well as clam chowder soup, French fries and draft beer. Viral Chinese food from Netflix favorite Another standout is Chang Chang's Menbosha Sugar Glaze, a playful take on the Chinese-inspired shrimp toast known as menbosha. Priced at 6,000 won for two pieces, the deep-fried cubes of bread are stuffed with shrimp paste and glazed with a crunchy sugar shell called 'ppaseu.' The sweet coating recently gained notoriety after appearing on the hit Netflix show 'Culinary Class Wars,' featuring renowned Korean chef Jung Ji-sun. Diners can choose from three flavors -- original, mala (a Sichuan twist) and corn, allowing adventurous eaters to mix and match sweet and savory. The mala version has attracted buzz for its unique blend of heat and candy-like crunch. Where culinary art meets Instagrammable vibes The aesthetic appeal of Glow Seongsu is no afterthought. Designed to resemble a hidden forest village, the food hall includes a central pond and terrace seating surrounded by greenery, making it a magnet for Seoul's Instagram-happy crowd. Indoors, seating spans two spacious floors, with an airy, well-ventilated design that caters to both summer and winter visits. Orders are made digitally via NFC tags placed on tables, streamlining the process and reducing wait times. For drinks, customers head to the Bottle Shop, a standalone bar-like counter offering over 30 varieties of red, white and sparkling wine, along with imported beers and soft drinks from around the world. Hong Kong Milk Company, operating out of a cafe-style standalone space, serves a standout Thai bubble milk tea for 6,000 won. The tapioca pearls are freshly simmered and richly infused with syrup, delivering a chewy yet flavorful experience. In summer, the spot also offers shaved ice desserts, including a milk tea-flavored bingsu topped with handmade tapioca pearls, and even a unique version using Korea's beloved Chodang corn or super sweet corn. While most of the stalls are open, two vendors are still in the final stages of preparation. One of the most anticipated is Soha Saltpond, a popular bakery from Ikseon-dong known for its buttery salt bread. Its Glow Seongsu location is set to feature its classic savory buns as well as new variations with matcha and cream fillings. Glow Seongsu's appeal lies in its ability to cater to both curious solo diners and groups of friends looking for an international food crawl experience. It combines Seoul's growing appetite for global flavors with the convenience of a single destination and does so with charm, visual flair and thoughtful curation.

As long power outages continue in Mohali amid intense heat, residents hit out at AAP govt over ‘hollow promises'
Amid extended power cuts, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) senior leader and former MLA N K Sharma joined hundreds of residents, various councillors and traders to lash out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government to unannounced power cuts, saying those who promised free power are today depriving Punjab of power itself. He warned the Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd (PSPCL) and the state administration that a dharna will be staged at 10 am on Monday, 16 June, outside the PSPCL executive engineer's office in Zirakpur to mark the protest. Sharma said that the AAP government has 'ruined' Punjab's electricity grid by ignoring upgrades, fresh recruitment and routine maintenance, leading to daily unannounced outages across Zirakpur. 'During the Akali-BJP tenure we strengthened the electricity infrastructure and made Punjab a surplus-power state,' he claimed. The former legislator reminded officials that, while in office, he had secured land for new substations at Bhabaat, Dhakoli, Ramgarh Bhudda and Baltana, yet 'this government has done nothing except make hollow promises of free power'. On Friday and Saturday evening, women from Shiva Enclave, Bhabaat, expressed their frustration by sagging overhead lines and surprise shutdowns and sat on the road in protest, blocking traffic for hours. If immediate action is not taken, we will shift the protest to the main highway, and the administration will be responsible, they warned. In G-Block, Aerocity—part of GMADA's 'Singapore-style' smart township, environmentalist Arshleen Ahluwalia reported prolonged low-voltage spells, calling them 'repeated proof of PSPCL's failure.' Residents' association president Kuldeep Singh said power vanished for up to 72 hours several times in the past three months; on 12 June the entire block suffered an eight-hour outage, followed by fresh unannounced cuts. Fellow resident N K Aluna added that ensuring electricity in this searing heat should be the government's top priority. Showroom owners in Phase 10 and Phase 7 complained that erratic supply is crippling business. 'One phase trips here, another trips there. One shop has light, the next is dark. Linemen neither arrive for hours nor answer calls,' they said. Social activist Paramjit Kahlon highlighted voltage fluctuations in Phase 7 that have damaged ACs, refrigerators and TVs. 'It's pathetic,' he noted. 'There are only two linemen for the whole area; without more staff PSPCL cannot resolve problems on time. Immediate recruitment is essential.' According to Sharma, the AAP government is now 'trying to intimidate villagers through PSPCL raids'. He vowed that the Akali Dal's agitation will continue 'until power cuts are stopped, the network is upgraded and adequate staff is hired'. The prolonged crisis, he said, has made life miserable from Zirakpur to Aerocity and Mohali, turning power-surplus Punjab into 'the state of blackouts.' The 16 June demonstration, he added, 'could be the government's litmus test.'

Small stall, bold flavours
The humble Lai Jie Noodle House stall is located along Jalan Burung Tiong in Taman Bukit Maluri, KL. TUCKED away in a corner in Taman Bukit Maluri, Kuala Lumpur, the modest stall that is Lai Jie Noodle House is easy to miss unless you know where to look. This humble spot serves up a variety of hearty noodle dishes that capture the essence of Malaysian comfort food. Customers can expect the likes of pan mee, loh mee, pork noodles, wantan noodles and curry noodles alongside a selection of stir-fried options such as Hokkien mee and Singapore-style meehoon. Run by Low Bee Li and her husband since 2004, the stall is named after the 60-year-old founder herself, in the Cantonese pronunciation. Low and her husband Lee Yat Cheong, 66, have been dishing up bowls of noodles for breakfast and early lunch for over two decades. Their stall is especially popular among morning market traders and regulars from a nearby wet market. 'Some of my regulars' favourites are the curry noodles, Hokkien mee, and fried mee xian,' said Low. 'We open as early as 5.30am, and the peak crowd is usually in the morning when people fill up their bellies before heading off to the market or nearby shops.' She keeps busy with taking orders and serving, while Lee mans the wok. Having picked up the trade in his teens, Lee brings decades of experience to each dish. His cooking does not fall short in delivering the most essential element in Chinese-style noodles – wok hei (breath of the wok). I have tried the Hokkien mee, and it is a clear standout. Hokkien mee comes with pork slices, vegetables and lard. Fried in a dark, sticky soy-based sauce, the smoky, umami-laden noodles come with a generous portion of crispy pork lard that adds texture and depth. The richness of the dish is further complemented by tender pork slices and leafy greens, making it a delightful plate through and through. Equally deserving of praise are their wantan noodles. The noodles are springy and firm, tossed in a balanced soy-based sauce and topped with slices of char siew (barbecued pork). The wantan noodles are topped with a serving of 'char siew'. The dish is served with several plump wantan dumplings, offering that comforting accompaniment one expects from a local favourite. The curry noodles are clearly one of their best-sellers, as they were already sold out when I last visited at noon. A return visit is certainly warranted. Hopefully next time, I will be early enough to get my hands on a bowl. Lai Jie Noodle House opens daily from 5.30am to 12.30pm, or until sold out. It is located along the row of stalls in Jalan Burung Tiong, Taman Bukit Maluri. Be warned that looking for a parking spot here can be tricky.

The best part? No need to peel the crabs! It also stands to reason that you'd want to try Jade's Chicken Satay Rice Dumpling ($22, shown above), which captures the essence of this landmark dish with a filling of chicken thigh, peanuts, king oyster mushrooms and satay sauce within its glutinous rice package. If you're a seafood lover… Feng Shui Inn's Dumpling Set ($128) includes Dried Seafood Steamed Dumplings and Yunnan Mushroom and Fish Maw Dumplings alongside Trio Sweet Date Dumplings. The dried seafood dumpling has abalone, dried scallops and golden shrimps enriched with salted egg yolk and pork belly, which the fish maw dumpling features more prized seafood delicacies like abalone and scallops. If you always have room for dessert… Shang Palace's Sweetened Purple Rice Dumpling with Homemade Kaya ($16) brings together rustic purple rice and luscious homemade kaya. The vibe is rich and comforting, like pulut hitam and kaya toast in a shiok, sticky dumpling. 藝 Yi by Jereme Leung's Lemongrass Kee Chang ($28 for five) comes with a 200g jar of Raffles Signature Kaya in which you can dip the lemongrass-scented alkaline rice dumplings for a sweet, satisfying treat.

15 best gems in Amoy Street Food Centre that will make you go 'A-Moy-God!'
Home to some of the best hawker gems in Singapore, Amoy Street Food Centre truly has it all. Every single hawker staple you can crave for is nestled within this two-storey complex — from local classics to new-gen creations, there's something for everyone here. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a regular patron working nearby in the CBD, here's a nifty guide of the 15 best gems in Amoy Street Food Centre that will make you go 'A-Moy-God!' Because when you have your finger on the pulse, manoeuvring through the throngs of people during the lunchtime rush should be a breeze. First on the list, and no surprise here: A Noodle Story. With 7 consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards under its belt, this coveted stall commands a queue as soon as it opens shop. Famed for what they call Singapore-style ramen, the hawkers helming the stall utilise modern European kitchen technique to craft each bowl of their signature Japanese fusion noodles, infused with a touch of local flair. You'll find just one thing on the menu: Singapore Style Ramen (S$10.80/S$12.80), a show-stopping dish worth every pretty penny. A cross between ramen and local wanton mee, each bowl features springy noodles topped with HK-style wantons, onsen egg, sous vide cha shu slices, ngoh hiang and crispy potato-wrapped prawns, served with a side of wanton soup. The al dente noodles are packed with umami, complemented by glazed cha shu slices with the perfect meat-to-fat ratio. And who could forget the wantons? Both deep-fried and boiled variations are stellar, stuffed with an ultra savoury filling of pork and fresh, crunchy prawns. Mon to Fri: 10am – 8pm Sat & Sun: 10am – 4pm Facebook | Instagram Spicy Wife Nasi Lemak. A name that'll get a chuckle, but don't play play. This stall shot to popularity within months of its 2022 opening back, owing to its gigantic Malaysian-style ayam goreng berempah that delivers on both flavour and pocket-friendliness. For the record, the name comes from the abundance of spices and herbs used in its signature dish. In particular, the ayam goreng berempah is marinated overnight in a rempah of 8 ingredients, including lemongrass and cumin seeds. Yum. The Aromatic Chicken Set (S$6.50) features a spice-rubbed fried chicken leg that's — we kid you not — probably bigger than your face. It's accompanied by the usual suspects: rice, sunny-side-up egg, ikan bilis, peanuts and a dollop of housemade sambal. If this doesn't scream value-for-money… The ayam goreng berempah sports a crackly, well-spiced skin that gives way to tender, juicy chicken meat perfumed with aromatic spices. Pair that with the pandan– and coconut-laced rice plus fiery sambal and you've got yourself a winning combination. +65 8089 2119 Mon to Fri: 10.45am – 2pm Closed on Sat & Sun Facebook | Instagram CBD folks, we know how much you love your fish soup — and Han Kee should be no stranger to any of you aficionados. Make no mistake, this famed stall has queues that stretch up to an hour long every day. But if you've got time to spare on your lunch break, we say go for it. Pro tip: have your order prepped and ready while you wait, because the auntie makes her way down the line to take orders in advance. Word is, she can memorise up to 30 at a time — no notepad needed. Sheesh. The classic Sliced Fish Soup, Sliced Fish Bee Hoon and Sliced Fish Porridge go for S$6, S$8 and S$10 for Small, Medium and Large portions respectively. And, in every bowl, the fish steals the show. These thick, pearly white batang slices are firm and light on the palate, so fresh you'd think the fishes were caught earlier in the morning. The soup holds its own too, with a subtle umami lifted by pepper, coriander and savoury garlic bits. Clean-tasting and easy down the hatch. Mon to Fri: 11am – 3pm Closed on Sat & Sun Instagram Who doesn't love a good hawker bakery? Petite Krumbs is one to add to your roster. This new kid on the block, run by a former pastry chef at Mandarin Orchard, offers a selection of handcrafted bakes priced from just S$2 to S$3.80. Ever since the stall went viral on social media, queues have started forming even before its 8.30am opening. Thanks to high demand, there's now a cap of two pieces per bake, per person. The early bird really does get the worm here. A definite standout in Petite Krumbs's repertoire is the Lemon Mochi Tart (S$2.70), a buttery treat filled with refreshing lemon curd, its crisp shell complemented by a soft, stretchy mochi centre. Its chocolatey cousin, the Valrhona Chocolate Tart (S$3.20) features a rich ganache filling and a crunchy base — a decadent treat worth a try too. Don't miss the Butter Croissant (S$2.70) either, with its fragrant, well-laminated layers — the same ones you'll find in the Valrhona Pain Au Chocolate (S$2.80), which pairs that pastry with a melty chocolate core. Mon to Fri: 8.30am – 2.30pm Closed on Sat & Sun Instagram We're not done with the hawker bakeries just yet! Fellow sweet tooths, Lian Hup Heng is another one to cross off your list. This gem of a stall prides itself on a collection of atas bakes at a fraction of cafe prices — think meticulously crafted tarts, fudgy brownies and fresh viennoiserie, all going for just S$3.80 to S$4 a pop. The tarts are definite must-tries; they could easily rival those from high-end patisseries, if we do say so ourselves. Each morsel features a crunchy tart base with a buttery aroma that complements the respective fillings. Chocoholics, where ya at? The dreamy Sea Salt Caramel au Chocolat Noir Tart (S$4.20) is sure to curb those cravings with its rich, bittersweet dark chocolate core, balanced by sea salt and a swirl of sweet caramel. Matcha lovers, look no further than the Matcha au Chocolat Blanc Tart (S$4.20), so popular it got upgraded from a seasonal item to a daily staple. Prefer something fruitier? Go for the piquant Lemon Meringue Tart (S$3.80) or the juicy Pear Tart (S$3.80). Mon to Fri: 10.30am – 3pm Closed on Sat & Sun Instagram On your coffee break? You'll know where to look. Coffee Break might seem like a run-of-the-mill coffee joint, but they've got a few tricks up their sleeves. Expect modern twists on your kopi, teh and toast. Run by a trio of siblings, this stall is all about keeping Nanyang kopi culture alive and is always levelling up with inventive flavours to take your coffee break up a notch. Beyond the classic Kopi (S$1.60), Teh (S$1.80) and Yuan Yang (S$1.80), you'll find swanky concoctions like Hazelnut Kopi (S$3), Mango Milk Teh (S$3.20) and Cinnamon Kopi (S$3). They also offer Lattes and Mochas (S$4) in flavours like Black Sesame, Macadamia, Sea Salt Caramel, Pumpkin Spice and Pistachio — plus others like Earl Grey Tea Latte (S$4.80) and Lavender Lemonade (S$3.80) for something lighter. Don't leave without some toast — go classic with good ol' Kaya Butter (S$3) or Black Sesame (S$3.50), or try trendier picks like Earl Grey Creme (S$3.50), made with a fragrant floral tea base. Mon to Fri: 7.30am – 2.30pm Closed on Sat & Sun Facebook | Instagram | Website Sometimes, all it takes is a hearty rice bowl to fuel you through the rest of the day. Pepper Bowl delivers just that, with three simple rice or hor fun combinations to choose from. Just pick your protein — beef or pork — and let the food do the rest. Pepper Bowl's offerings include Black Pepper Beef/Pork Rice (S$6.80/S$6.30), Spring Onion Beef/Pork Rice (S$6.80/S$6.30) and Black Pepper Beef/Pork Hor Fun (S$6.80/S$6.30) — each generously topped with your protein of choice, doused in punchy black pepper gravy.

Whichever you're having, don't forget to top it off with a luscious Onsen Egg (S$0.80) for that perfect, lip-smacking finish. Mon to Fri: 11am – 2.30pm Closed Sat & Sun Facebook For something a little healthier, Lagoon In A Bowl ensures a satisfying lunch without the dreaded food coma. The menu features 3 protein-rich rice bowls: Mentaiko Salmon Bowl (S$11), Mentaiko Wagyu Beef Bowl (S$12) and Surf & Turf (S$18) — a combination of the two. Each donburi is a kaleidoscope in a bowl: brilliant butterfly pea rice topped with your protein of choice, flame-torched mentaiko, a wobbly onsen egg and a medley of corn, cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Melt-in-your-mouth salmon and tender Wagyu beef embellished with a generous drizzle of smoky mentaiko — what's not to love?

While Eurasian cuisine isn't the most common in Singapore, Doris's Devilishly Delicious Curry certainly offers a delicious take — perfect for first-timers or whenever those cravings hit. Otherwise known as #tripleDC, this stall might ring a bell for some, having started out as a restaurant at City Gate Mall in 2021. Their devilishly delicious fare found a new home in Amoy Street Food Centre in 2024 — and it's safe to say, they're here to stay. The stall specialises in curry debal — colloquially known as Devil's Curry — made from a treasured family recipe passed down from owner Justin Teh's grandmother, Doris. The Smoked Pork Curry Debal (S$9) is a must-try, featuring tender pork belly simmered in a smoky, moreish curry that's (fret not) not as spicy as it looks. Another solid pick is the Chicken Curry Kapitan (S$7), a comforting dish of tender chicken in a creamy, aromatic curry made with love and meticulously house-made rempah. +65 8879 9137 Mon to Fri: 11am – 3pm Closed on Sat & Sun Facebook | Instagram While we're on the topic of rare gems, check out The Little Red Hen for some nasi ulam. For the uninitiated, nasi ulam is a traditional Indonesian and Malaysian dish made with cold boiled rice tossed in a fragrant mix of finely chopped herbs such as torch ginger flower, kaffir lime leaf, turmeric leaf and Vietnamese mint leaf. I've tried the dish myself, and let me just say — it's one you won't forget. The Nasi Ulam with Ayam Percik (S$8.50) is the one to (b)eat. Meticulously prepared with 15 fresh herbs and ingredients, The Little Red Hen's nasi ulam is ultra-fragrant and will have you floored at first bite. It's paired with a smoky slab of chicken, drenched in a rich, aromatic gravy perfumed with laksa leaf, turmeric and coconut milk. Other offerings include the Beef Rendang (S$8.50) and Ikan Pepes (S$10) — the latter featuring a tender hunk of steamed mackerel slathered in sambal. +65 9187 9410 Mon to Fri: 11am – 2pm Closed on Sat & Sun Facebook | Instagram Who loves fried chicken? Everyone, I suppose — so if you're craving a fix, check out Simply This new-ish stall keeps things straightforward: fried chicken cutlets with seasoned rice, plus your choice of potato salad or vegetable salad on the side. You also get to pick from 3 sauces: Original, Coriander and Spicy Tsunami. The Set Meal at Simply goes for S$5.50 and S$6.50 for the Small (Half) and Large (Whole) portions respectively. And trust us — you won't know the true meaning of 'bang for your buck' until you've had the latter. For just a dollar more, you get double the fried chicken — perfect for huge appetites. Perfectly crispy and immaculately seasoned, the golden-brown fried chicken earns a solid gold star from us. With a flavour profile reminiscent of ayam goreng berempah, the juicy cutlet goes surprisingly well with the creamy, ranch-based Original Sauce. +65 8350 7856 Mon to Sat: 10am – 2.30pm Closed on Sun Instagram Teo Heng Teochew Porridge may not have a dazzling social media presence, but it's a true force to be reckoned with. This heritage stall has been doling out comforting Teochew porridge for the better of 7 decades, with a solid line-up of dishes and even a second outlet at Hong Lim Food Centre to its name. Among their generous repertoire, don't miss the supple Steamed Fish Cake (S$1 each), which pairs impeccably with the tangy, garlicky house-made chilli. The Egg (S$1 each) is another winner. It's your average braised egg, but a ramen-style one with a gooey yolk that adds a luscious pop to the silky plain porridge. But if we had to pick just one dish to recommend, it'd be the Tau Gua Bao (S$1.50 each). Despite its name, Teo Heng's version of the classic dish uses tau pok instead of tau kwa — each delicate beancurd pocket stuffed with bits of braised pork, fishcake and Japanese cucumber. A flavour bomb, if you will. Mon to Fri: 7am – 2pm Closed on Sat & Sun Mexican cuisine isn't usually known for being the most affordable around, but James' Quesadilla & Brunch surely begs to differ. This highly-raved stall boasts a sprawling menu featuring all the works: burritos, quesadillas and Mexican-inspired salad/rice bowls. They also run a breakfast menu from 7.30am to 10.30am, with options like breakfast burritos, grilled sandwiches and English muffins, in combos such as Bacon & Cheese (from S$5), Smoked Salmon & Scrambled Egg (from S$5) and Pulled Pork & Cheese (S$4.50). Their lunch menu features the likes of Pulled Pork Burrito (S$6.50), Sous Vide Chicken Breast Quesadillas (S$7) and Smoked Salmon Rice/Salad Bowl (S$8.50). For a heartier meal, opt for an upgrade to a set with Chips & Salsa (S$2), Garden Salad (S$2) or even Chips & Guacamole (S$4). The Pulled Pork Burrito is a treat to behold, generously packed with flavourful pulled pork, refreshing lettuce, crisp purple cabbage and piquant house-made salsa. +65 9169 9932 Mon to Fri: 7.30am – 2.30pm Closed on Sat & Sun Facebook | Instagram The adorably named Gan Lao Zai (干捞仔, or 'dry-tossed boy' in Chinese) is sure to please any noodle lover. The menu revolves around dry noodles tossed in a variety of sauces. The best part? Every order comes with a free upsize. Fun fact: the stall previously offered a rather eyebrow-raising mashed potato noodle, but it was discontinued due to low demand and tedious prep. That said, the owner has plans to introduce more inventive menu options in the near future! Gan Lao Zai offers 6 types of dry-tossed noodles, with the most popular being the Honey Glazed Pork Belly Noodle (S$6.50). It comes with braised mushrooms, chye sim and tender pork belly that's braised overnight to perfection. Did the Chili Crab Noodle (S$8) catch your eye? We love it too. The chewy la mian noodles are coated in a sweet-savoury sauce that tastes just like that tomatoey chilli crab gravy we all love to mop up with some pillowy mantou. Fittingly, the noodles are topped with crunchy mantou croutons, fresh crab meat and a generous sprinkle of briny tobiko. Mon to Fri: 10am – 2.30pm Sat & Sun: 11am – 2.30pm Facebook | Instagram Time for some Michelin-approved curry puffs! J2 Famous Crispy Curry Puff is the perfect pit stop for a snack break, where you can snag yourself some golden, flaky pastries with a coveted Bib Gourmand to their name. The stall offers 4 flavours: Crispy Curry Chicken Puff (S$2), Crispy Sardine Puff (S$2), Crispy Black Pepper Chicken Puff (S$2.20) and Crispy Yam Paste Puff (S$2). With impressive layering and crackly edges, these puffs come with a surefire guarantee: you won't be stopping at just one. You can never go wrong with the classic Crispy Curry Chicken Puff. True to its name, this puff is crisp and stuffed to the brim with spicy, rich chicken curry. They don't skimp on the potato and chicken filling either; every bite delivers a satisfying ratio of both that'll keep you going back for more. +65 9475 8425 Mon to Fri: 8am – 3pm Closed on Sat & Sun 14 stalls at Maxwell Food Centre in Singapore to eat at that won't max out your wallet The post 15 best gems in Amoy Street Food Centre that will make you go 'A-Moy-God!' appeared first on
