Ang Mo Kio is one of the best places for a foodie to live – there’s so much good and affordable eats in the neighbourhood, you won’t ever get bored. There are also plenty of “hidden gems” waiting to be discovered in locations such as Ang Mo Kio 628 Market & Food Centre. We’ve eaten our way through what the food centre has to offer, and here are our 10 favourite stalls!
1. Sumo Fried Prawn Hokkien Mee (#01-76)
For the last decade and a half, Sumo Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee has been delighting patrons with its fried Hokkien mee. It’s a dish where everyone seems to have their own opinion of what makes a good plate, and Sumo Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee has its loyal following. They also serve fried oysters and carrot cake, and tubs of their homemade chilli are available for purchase. The owners also operate another stall in the same hawker centre, called Sumo Big Prawn Noodle.
Their Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee (S$6/S$8) is the “wet style”, and doesn’t use thin bee hoon. (I know some HKM fanatics insist that thin bee hoon is a requirement, but they’re banned from my plate, thank you.) Although there’s no pork belly, the mee is still flavourful enough, while the prawns and sotong are fresh and not overcooked. The chilli packs a lot of heat that lingers, so if your spice tolerance is low, approach with caution.

2. Ho Bee Roasted Food (#01-84)
Ho Bee Roasted Food has been dishing out their food for the last 2 decades, and is probably one of the most popular meat stalls in the Ang Mo Kio area. The queue here isn’t the kind that comes in waves; it’s perpetual. There’s sio bak, char siew, roast duck, pork ribs, and an interesting item that most roasted meat stalls don’t have: roasted sausages.
Prices start from S$4 for a single serve of 1 type of roasted meat, such as char siew or sio bak. The beloved combo of both is only S$4.50, which is value for money. If you’re indecisive and want a little of everything, the Every Person Set (S$9.80) is the perfect choice for you. Each platter of roasted delights comes with some of their homemade achar to cut through the richness. Their fiery homemade chilli sauce is a unique concoction of savoury and fragrant flavours paired with a zesty, garlicky kick.

3. Song Heng Fishball Minced Meat Noodle (#01-78)
Song Heng Fishball Minced Meat Noodle’s queues are not for the faint of heart – their fishballs are so popular, they’ve been known to sell out by 11am. The line is probably one of the longest in the market – over 10 people deep, even early on a weekday. People swear that they’re “one of the best fishball noodles in Singapore”. The stallowners are some of the friendliest around, and work efficiently.
A bowl of Mee Pok Dry will set you back only S$4, and it comes absolutely laden with ingredients. The mee pok is cooked to al dente perfection and is ultra-chewy – great if you love a really textured bite. You also get bouncy fishballs, large slices of fishcake, lots of tender minced pork and pork slices, plus a delicious soup full of natural sweetness from the pork. No wonder Soon Heng is so popular.

4. Wei Ji Braised Duck (#01-50)
Founded by the Ng family to honour the memory of the late Mr Ng Ming Wei, Wei Ji Braised Duck is run by Mr Ng’s wife and their children. Originally named “He Ji”, the stall’s name was changed to “Wei Ji” to honour Mr Ng after he lost a 3-year fight with brain cancer in 2017. The stall sells braised duck and braised pork rice, done the traditional Hokkien way.
Wei Ji’s prices are very wallet-friendly, starting from just S$3.50 for Braised Duck Rice or Braised Pork Rice. The set meal is S$4 and includes soup. Each plate includes half a braised egg, small slices of tau kwa, and your choice of protein. It’s all drenched with their signature sauce, and if you like it hot, you can get a scoop of sambal to go with.
The duck is served deboned, making it easy to dig into. Both the braised duck and braised pork are fork-tender and have a pleasant herbal taste – if you enjoy a more pronounced herbal flavour profile, this is right up your alley.

5. Black/White Carrot Cake (#01-64)
With a stall name like Black/White Carrot Cake, would anyone like to guess what they sell? This stall sells only 3 dishes: Black Carrot Cake, White Carrot Cake or Black & White Carrot Cake. Regardless of the variety you choose, prices are the same – S$3.50 for a small, S$4 for medium and S$4.50 for large. Extra Egg is only S$0.50. In this economy, those prices are an absolute steal, especially for the Black & White Carrot Cake. In addition, the friendly stall owner will offer to bring your order to your table.
Even the S$3.50 portion comes heaped with plenty of carrot cake. These cubes are on the larger side, and are comfortingly soft. The Black Carrot Cake isn’t as sweet as some versions, while the White Carrot Cake is deliciously eggy with some crispy bits. It’s a plate full of nostalgic flavours, and will definitely satisfy your cravings.

10 best food spots at AMK Hub for dining in or takeaway [Mar 2025 update]
6. Ah Mei Yong Tau Foo (#01-88)
Few dishes are as comforting and wholesome as yong tau foo. Perfect any time of the day, and even better when it’s cold and rainy, this dish can be had in so many ways. Do you want yours dry and saucy, warm and soupy, or perhaps you want some fiery laksa? At Ah Mei Yong Tau Foo, all of these options, along with 6 different carbs, are available.
Prices start from S$4.90 with a minimum of 6 pieces + noodle or rice, and each piece after is S$0.70 each. Ah Mei Yong Tau Foo doesn’t have the biggest spread, but everything is fresh and tasty. The fried ingredients are refried to crisp them up before being served with the rest of your items. The soup here is also on the lighter side, and is perfect for an early morning meal. Don’t forget to get some chilli sauce and dark sweet sauce for a little extra oomph.

7. Rosnah’s Family Kitchen (#01-97)
Rosnah’s Family Kitchen is a humble stall run by a husband and wife team, along with their children. Their menu contains a lot of Malay favourites, such as mee rebus, mee siam, lontong, nasi padang and nasi lemak. Most of their dishes start from S$3.50, and portions are quite generous. Be prepared to queue sometimes as patrons line up for their most popular dishes: Lontong (S$3.50), Mee Rebus (S$3.50) and Mee Soto (S$3.50).
My order of Nasi Padang, which consisted of 1 fried chicken wing, a begedil, and a generous heap of sayur lodeh, worked out to be S$5. The chicken wing is well seasoned and fried to a crisp, with a juicy inside. The sayur lodeh is full of coconutty goodness and slightly sweet from the incredibly tender cabbage and long beans, while the begedil is densely packed with potato goodness.

8. Foy Yin Vegetarian Food (#01-70)
Foy Yin Vegetarian Food is one of the more popular vegetarian options at Ang Mo Kio 628. It has been serving its food for at least two decades. Their dishes don’t contain garlic or onion, and they don’t use eggs. The queue at this stall comes in waves, but the stallholders work quickly so you won’t need to wait too long. Interestingly, Foy Yin Vegetarian Food is run by 2 different owners for both day and evening shifts – the menu will shift slightly after 2pm when the evening shift begins.
The vegetarian bee hoon options are affordable and delicious – S$3 can get you a generous portion of bee hoon and a couple of sides. Other vegetarian dishes include Mee Hoon Fish Head, Curry Chicken Noodle, Hor Fun and Hokkien Prawn Noodle, all of which are only S$4. One of the most popular dishes here is the Duck Rice (S$4), which is said to have a strong herbal taste and is only available after 2pm.

9. Meng Kee (#01-87)
Meng Kee has been open since at least the early 90s, and sells chicken rice – but not just any chicken rice. Instead of the usual steamed or roasted chicken rice, they have a variety of cutlets in various flavours. Dishes range from S$3.50 to S$4, and include options like Lemon Chicken Rice, Grill Chicken Rice, Mayo Chicken Rice, and there’s even Pork Cutlet Rice and Fish Fillet Rice for those who want something that isn’t chicken.
Each dish comes with your choice of protein on top of a bed of rice, a bowl of flavourful soup, and a side of achar. Add-ons such as braised egg or tau kwa are also available, along with extra portions of chicken if you want more meat. The batter is crispy and light, not too oily, with tender and moist meat. Their chicken cutlets are their best sellers, and you can choose which sauce (Lemon, Thai or Mayo) you’d like drizzled over it.
Daily: 10.30am – 4pm
10. Da Jia Lai Raw Ricestone Mill Chee Cheong Fun (#01-85)
When a chee cheong fun stall has its own stone mill on the premises, you know they’re serious about what they’re selling. While Da Jia Lai Raw Ricestone Mill Chee Cheong Fun’s name implies that their signature is chee cheong fun, a glance at their menu reveals an interesting assortment of dishes. There’s ban mian and mee hoon kway, as well as zha jiang mian. There’s also Fried Kway Teow (S$4), which is only available in the afternoon.
The Cheong Fun (from S$3) is freshly made to order, and, rather unusually, is served on a generous bed of lettuce and bean sprouts. (If you prefer your chee cheong fun veggie-less, you can request to omit them.) The texture of the rice sheets is chewy and not too thick, but you can request that the rice sheets be made thicker or thinner depending on your preference. The stallowners are incredibly accommodating, even willing to swap out the sauce for other types of flavours.
