Avoid these markets & food centres scheduled for spring cleaning in October 2025

September 2025 was a hectic month for cleaners as 75 wet markets and hawker places were involved in spring cleaning. Thankfully, October is a breeze with just 16 places involved. Just like our own home or office that needs regular maintenance and cleaning, our beloved makan places deserve no less.

That being said, here’s a list of markets and hawker centres scheduled for spring cleaning in October 2025. Remember to set your reminders to avoid making a wasted trip down — you have been warned!

For those who crave the Hokkien mee from Quan Ji Cooked Food or Ming Fa Duck Rice, please patronise them the next day. If you’re there around 10.30am, you might want to check out An Shun Seafood Soup located just 1 bus stop away.
