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 food spots at AMK Hub for dining in or takeaway.
1. Mincheng Bibimbap (#01-25/26)
Specialising in Chinese Korean cuisine, Mincheng Bibimbap has been around since 2008 and has over 400 outlets globally. The branch at AMK Hub attracts a long line of customers and the seating inside seems a little cramp.
Pressed for time, I ordered it to go. The menu has a selection of 8 bibimbaps like Cheese Pork Bibimbap (S$8.80+), Mincheng Braised Pork Bibimbap (S$6.80+) and Tuna Bibimbap (S$8.80+).
To battle the hot Singapore’s weather, you can get a bowl of Naengmyeon Cold Noodle (S$8.80+) to cool you down. Looking for sides? This place also has Spicy Squid (S$11.80+), Hotplate Tofu (S$6.80+) and Hotplate Pollock Fish (S$12.80+).
The eatery also provides FREE refillable rice, seaweed soup, and Korean kimchi.
I decided to keep the fancy cheesy options for another time, and brought home the Beef Bibimbap (S$9.80+) — do note that takeaway packaging costs S$0.50.
The ingredients consist of beef strips, seaweed, soybean sprouts corn kernels, Japanese cucumber, carrot strips, sliced mushrooms and a fried egg — generous portions, indeed. I added the pack of gochujang sauce and mixed everything up. Bang! The fermented red chilli sauce was well-balanced and wasn’t overly sharp,
Everything tasted great for a takeaway, and I imagine dining in would be even better!

2. Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab (#B2-44)
Seeing Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab evoked nostalgia, as they belong to the same group as Don Pie, which was incredibly popular in the 2000s.
The menu features its signature Chicken Pie (S$6.80 for personal, S$33.80 for whole). For something with that extra kick, get the Black Pepper Pie (S$6.80 for personal, S$33.80 for whole)
They also sell a plethora of mains like Prawn Laksa Bee Hoon (S$9.80) and Lala White Bee Hoon (S$7.80).
I tried the Prawn Bee Hoon Soup (S$8.80) which had thick rice noodles served with 3 fresh prawns, scallops, pieces of yam and green veggies. The broth was milky and flavourful with a subtle herbal taste.
I also had a personal Chicken Pie which was encased in a golden-brown flaky crust. The filling was packed with chicken chunks, peppery mashed potatoes, an entire boiled egg, and bits of corn and green peas.
For someone who hasn’t tasted their pie in over a decade, I’d say it still tastes pretty much the same— oh, how I missed this!

3. Talad Thai Banana (#B2-17)
Talad Thai Banana is located in the basement of AMK Hub, opposite H2 Hub. Its first outlet at Aperia Mall has a perpetual queue and even though the establishment may not be the original vendor from the defunct Golden Mile Complex, it’s still good enough for me.
You can indulge in the Thai Fried Banana (S$5 for 6 pieces, S$6 for 8 pieces), Thai Fried Yam Chips (S$5), Sweet Potato Balls (S$6 for 12 pieces) and Mixed Favourites (S$7).
I bought the Thai Fried Banana and Thai Yam Chips, and both items retained their crispiness even at home. These yummy morsels are coated in a batter that contains sesame seeds, which makes you feel like you’re eating a butterfly fritter (beh hei ji)!
The yam was soft and fluffy while the banana was sweet. A word of caution: some banana pieces contain seeds.

4. Pho King (#03-12)
If you’re craving food from the Land of the Blue Dragon, head up to Kopitiam food court and discover all your Vietnamese favourites from Pho King. The menu features over 25 options, ranging from banh mi to rice and noodle dishes.
Got a small appetite and seeking something light and simple? Then the Fresh Spring Roll (S$5.90), Fried Spring Roll (S$6.90) and Mango Salad (S$6.90) won’t take up too much space. If you have a weakness for pho, choose between the Medium Rare Beef Pho (S$8.90) and Well Done Beef Pho (S$8.90) — depending on your preference.
I tried the Grill Pork with Noodle (S$8.90), featuring a bone-in piece of grilled pork chop that was accompanied by rice noodles, pickled veggies, ground peanuts, fried shallots, and vegetables.
Similar to bun cha, I dipped the rice vermicelli into the nước chấm (Vietnamese dipping sauce) with the peanuts, pickles and veggies. The grilled pork was surprisingly moist, decently tender and flavoured with spices.

8. Prata Raya (#01-38/39)
If you enjoy the spice and flavours of Indian food like I do, head to Prata Raya located in 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. Psst, I’ve also noticed that the prices here have remained the same (for now).
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$6.90), Nasi Goreng Pattaya (S$7.80) and Nasi Goreng Ayam Sambal (S$8.10).

10. Huat Huat BBQ Chicken Wings (#03-12)
Craving for some barbecued chicken wings? Huat Huat BBQ Chicken Wings offers its BBQ Chicken Wing at S$1.80 per piece, with a minimum of 3 pieces. There are a few other mains including Special Marinated Pork with Rice (S$8.80) and 3 Stick Pork Belly with Rice (S$7.80).
I was also surprised to find other local delights like BBQ Satay (S$6 for chicken, pork or mutton), Rojak (S$5/S$6), Kueh Pai Tee (S$4 for 4 cups), and Popiah (S$3).
I wasn’t expecting the BBQ Chicken Wings to blow me away, but they did! Each piece wasn’t oily, and the skin was nicely coloured and crispy, with a mild tangy taste — I assumed they had squeezed lime onto it. But S$1.80 for each? Honestly, a little pricey for me.
The Kueh Pai Tee was alright, with bang kwang, egg and lots of peanuts. I was a little underwhelmed that there wasn’t any shrimp and coriander included.
