Alexandra Village Food Centre Guide – One of The Best Hawker Centres in Singapore
Well-known and well-loved by the office staff and hungry students is Alexandra Village Food Centre. Despite its relatively hidden location, this hawker centre is constantly bustling with crowds. It’s hardly any mystery as to why because almost every single stall here serves up their unique rendition of hawker classics.
We made a trip down to Alexandra Village Food Centre and we have narrowed their extensive list of stalls to this list of must-tries. Here are the food and drinks that you must get from this popular Hawker Centre!
AJ DELIGHTS
If you’re a muffin lover, you’re in for a treat because AJ Delights bakes some of the best muffins in town. Fluffy, dense, flavour-packed and affordable, their Green Tea Monster (S$2.40) stole our hearts away. The crumbles on the surface added a crunchy texture in each bite that made it extra tasty!
Be sure to grab a muffin or two as a sweet-ending to your meal, or to have it during tea-time. You’ll be missing out if you don’t try this out, seriously!

DEPOT ROAD ZHEN MEI SHAN CLAYPOT LAKSA
One of the most popular laksa stalls in Singapore, Depot Road Zhen Mei Shan Claypot Laksa’s rendition of this hawker classic will always have a place in the hearts of all Singaporeans.
The broth had a sweet taste with a creamy texture from the coconut milk, having a little of that claypot smokiness as well. Stir in the thick spicy gravy and some of their homemade chilli to enhance the flavour of the broth. Milder spice lovers can do without the chilli, but it sure packs a punch of spice and flavour!
It’s a definite must-get dish when at Alexandra Village Food Centre.

DOVER ROAD KAI KEE WANTON NOODLES
Originally found at Dover Road Market, you can now have a taste of Dover Road Kai Kee Wanton Noodles at Alexandra Village Food Centre. For more than 30 years, the humble stall owners have been cooking up delicious plates of noodles for hungry customers.
The sauce had the perfect balance of sweet and salty, with a kick of spice that evenly coated each and every strand of noodle that was extremely springy. Complementing the noodles were morsels of well-seasoned minced meat that was wrapped in smooth and slippery wanton skin. While the char siew slices and vegetables were nothing to shout about, they were the perfect sidekicks for this dish!
It’s clearly a popular option among the lunch crowd so whatever they’ve been doing, they’ve definitely been doing it right!

LEON KEE CLAYPOT PORK RIB SOUP
This Hokkien-style bak kut teh is a hot favourite of patrons to Alexandra Village Food Centre.
The piping hot Pork Rib Soup (S$5.50) was served in a clay pot and came with a serving of rice, because who eats bak kut teh without rice? Each slurp of the soup was packed with the sweetness from the herbs and umami from the pork bones.
With generous portions of tender pork rib boiled in an ultra-flavourful broth, the people keep coming back for more and after tasting it, we can understand why!

Springy yellow noodles, succulent prawn and tender pork ribs sit in a piping hot broth. One sip of this broth will reveal the complex flavours brought about through hard work and hours of simmering.
Helmed by a young hawker, everything is prepared fresh daily at Ming’s Prawn Noodles so you can expect the best quality in each bowl of prawn noodles. Hands down one of the best prawn noodles in Singapore!

NEW MARKET TEOCHEW BRAISED DUCK
One of the most tender braised duck we’ve had, this stall is one of our favourites in this hawker centre. Their dark-coloured braise has a watery-consistency, but carries a lot of depth; hints of herbal goodness, yet bursting with umami. It was an amazing concoction with the white rice.
For those who are looking for a fuss-free options to have for lunch, this might be something you want to try out next at Alexandra Village. Do note though, their queues get insanely long during lunch hour, so be there early!
Stall #01-84

SHANGHAI LA MIAN XIAO LONG BAO
True to its namesake, Shanghai La Mian Xiao Long Bao’s steamed dumplings are little gems bursting with a tender meat filling and sweet broth. Dip these morsels into ginger and vinegar to complete the experience!
They serve a great bowl of zha jiang mian as well – savoury meat and bean paste sauce coats the soft noodles perfectly. Their traditional Chinese dishes are a crowd-favourite and rightfully so.

At SweeT.Rex, tucked away in Alexandra Village Food Centre, these cloud-like souffle pancakes won’t burn a hole in your wallet while you indulge!
Their signature Souffle Pancakes are only S$4 and for an extra S$1 top up, you get a small scoop of Chocolate Cookies ice cream with the pancake. You can also choose between Strawberry, Chocolate and Caramel sauce to drizzle over your fluffy delights.
The pancakes were light and fluffy – not anything short of those you get at fancier establishments. They had a slightly eggy taste but the ice cream and the caramel sauce would balance it out. For S$5, we think that this plate was pretty satisfying!
