AMK Hub is no stranger to Singaporeans, standing proud at the matured northeastern district of Singapore. Being a resident of Ang Mo Kio, this mall provides me with various retail, dining, and entertainment options.
I scouted the entire mall from top to bottom to compile a list of food places that I found to be interesting. With that, I present to you the 10 best eating spots you should definitely visit at AMK Hub.
1. ZAAP Thai Noodles (#03-12)
Located in the NTUC Foodfare food court on level 3, ZAAP Thai Noodles is run by a team of native Thais.
Unlike other generic Thai food stalls that sell the same old dishes like pineapple fried rice, their food options are more similar to what you can get on the streets of Thailand.
If you’ve read and drooled over the famous Jay Fai and her Michelin-starred crab omelette, the Crab Meat Thai Crispy Omelette Rice (S$12.80) might be an easier solution to curb your cravings. It’s a dish of crispy golden-brown fried eggs served with chunks of crab meat.
Be sure to dip it into the special sauce that comes with it— you’ll be blown away! You can also try the Drumstick with Chicken Ball Noodle (Dry) at S$6.80. It comes with 3 chicken balls, 1 chicken drumstick, bitter gourd, daikon, half a boiled egg, beansprouts, pork lard and garnished with fried garlic and kin chye (chinese celery).

2. Nice Rice (#03-12)
We’ve previously written about Nice Rice at its flagship outlet and they’ve set up another stall at AMK Hub’s NTUC Foodfare food court. It’s helmed by 27-year-old Mandel Ban who is no stranger to the dining scene.
He previously worked in a One Michelin-starred Bacchanalia, and later at Vianney Massot. Specialising in their signature rice bowls, their menu offers 6 varieties for you to choose from.
For beef lovers, I highly recommend the Cow Bowl (S$11.50) which has lovely slices of seared steak, truffled onsen egg, garlic confit, roasted eggplant, and scallions on rice.
There’s also the Super Bowl (S$9.50) which has aburi (flame-torched) salmon served with house-special aioli, and is topped with luscious tobiko (fish roe). The stall also has a few side dishes worth looking out for.
You can indulge in the Fried Calamari With Garlic Aioli (S$4.50), Battered Onion Ringz With Garlic Aioli (S$4), Seasonal Nice Salad With Nice Sauce (S$4.50) and Aburi Shishamo With Aioli (S$4.50). NICE!

3. Rambürger (#B2-44)
It’s a well-known fact that Ramly burgers are extremely popular at pasar malams. That’s where Halal-certified Rambürger drew its inspiration from, and has a takeaway stall at the basement of AMK Hub— no more waiting for night markets to pop up!
The classic Chicken/Beef Ramburger (S$4.80 for single, S$6.80 for double) is freshly grilled upon order. It’s recommended that you add-on Cheese (+S$1) for a complete gastronomic experience.
Those with a penchant for seafood will adore the Ebi Prawn Burger (S$5.80 for single, S$8.50 for double) which features deep-fried prawn patties served with delightful mentaiko mayo for a rich umami flavour. For something simpler, there’s always the trustworthy Crispy Fish (S$4.80 for single, S$6.80 for double).
If you want a more complete meal, simply top-up S$3.50 for curly frites and a drink of your choice. If you would like an upgrade of fancier sides, this burger joint also has Cheesy Frites (+S$1.90) and Cheesy Bergidil (+S$2.90).

4. Yenly Yours Dessert (#B1-51C)
Yenly Yours Dessert at AMK Hub is the 2nd overseas branch to open outside of Bangkok, apart from the original one at Suntec City. If you’re never heard of them, they are a Thai mango-themed cafe that serves snacks, desserts and drinks revolving around the tropical fruit.
If you love having mango sticky rice, their range of desserts will blow you away. The Mango Treasure No. 1 (S$14.90) is a divine combination of mango and coconut. The smoothie is topped with a round of large mango chunks, a ball of sticky rice and Yenly Yours-made ice cream to finish things off.
The cafe also has snacks such as Original Mango Mochi (S$2.90 each), Mango Sweet Shrimp Paste (S$8.90) and Mango Sweet Fish Sauce (S$8.90).

5. Prata Raya (#01-38/39)
If you enjoy the spice and flavours of Indian food like I do, head to Prata Raya located at the outskirts of AMK Hub near the taxi stand. Whether you want a hearty plate of nasi briyani, share a platter of Indian rojak or simply enjoy a cup of teh tarik, this is the place to be.
You’ll be surprised at how many varieties of fried rice they’ve got on the menu (15 to be exact). The options include Nasi Goreng Seafood (S$6.70), Nasi Goreng Pattaya (S$7.60) and Nasi Goreng Ayam Sambal (S$7.90).
Prata Raya also has different kinds of sweet and savoury roti prata for you to take your pick from. Your kids will enjoy the Chocolate Prata (S$2.60) or Banana Prata (S$2.60) while you can indulge in a plate of Cheese & Mushroom Prata (S$3.90) on your own— sounds good to me!
