10 best hawker stalls at Chomp Chomp Food Centre for affordable late-night eats
In the wee hours of the morning, most Singapore hawker centres are already up and running, serving the regular breakfast and lunch crowd. However, Chomp Chomp Food Centre at Serangoon Garden does things differently.
The stall shutters open only after 4pm and some establishments only close around midnight, serving both the early dinner crowd and supper enthusiasts alike.
As you explore the area, delightful whiffs of smoky, barbecued goodness permeate the air, making your bellies rumble. You’ll find grilled seafood, BBQ chicken wings, satay, HUGE mugs of sugarcane, and many other delicious local delights.
And with that, I visited the place twice and curated a guide featuring the 10 best hawker stalls at Chomp Chomp Food Centre for affordable late-night eats. I hope it helps!
In case you’re wondering if Swee Heng Wanton Noodle and Swee Heng Bakery have any connection, there isn’t. Located at the back in a corner lies this humble wanton mee spot that’s been running for over 50 years.
Either I’ve been completely missing it, or the stall’s always been closed each time I’m there, but this is my first time discovering it (despite multiple visits). The wantons, dumplings and char siew are all made in-house, with all options available at S$5 for small and S$6 for big.
We gave the $5 Spinach Wanton Noodle a try. The green strands of spinach mee kia were topped with a generous amount of char siew, green vegetables, served alongside a bowl of 5 wantons in soup.
It’s been a while since I’ve had such a solid bowl of old-school wanton mee that checked every positive point on my list. The noodles were springy, seasonings were well-balanced, and the char siew was better than average.
The skin of the wantons was silky smooth and the pork filling was unctuous, served in a broth that had robust notes of ikan bilis. I’ve officially become a fan and will be returning in future to try their Prawn Dumpling Noodle, Chicken Feet Noodle and normal Wanton Noodle.

Formerly located at Upper Serangoon Crescent, Ang Sar Lee Satay Bee Hoon at Chomp Chomp Food Centre has been operating for over 40 years The stall is currently manned by the third generation, an upbeat and friendly middle-aged guy with a great vibe.
The menu offers 4 dishes: Hainan Beef Noodle (S$6/S$8/S$10), Pork/Chicken Noodle (S$5/S$7/S$9), Hainan Noodle Soup (S$6/S$8/S$10 for beef, S$5/S$7/S$9 for pork), and Satay Bee Hoon (S$5/S$7/S$9).
Since Satay Bee Hoon is one of my all-time favourites and is considered less common, I decided to order the S$5 portion. Pork slices, a single prawn, kang kong, cockles, tau pok, and cuttlefish slices adorned my plate of bee hoon. All the elements were drenched in a thick, reddish satay gravy.
I was obsessed with the slices of cuttlefish, which were tender and not rubbery, and the sea hum and prawn were fresh.
Daily: 4pm – 12am
Each time you visit Chomp Chomp Food Centre, the chai tow kway stall that simply states Carrot Cake instead of a fancy name will be the first establishment that greets you at the entrance.
The menu has either the Black or White option with 2 sizes: S$3 for small and S$5 for large with your choice of chilli or no chilli. The owners here also proudly display a photo of them cooking for our former president Halimah Yacob and minister Masagos at an event. That has to mean something, right?
I decided to get both the S$3 Black and White options. The black carrot cake was stir-fried with a generous amount of sweet sauce, and had crispy charred bits which contributed to its smoky fragrance.
The white version was great, too, with a good egg to carrot cake ratio. Each bite also had mini bits of savoury, crunchy goodness coming from the chai poh.

Another old-timer, The Warung, at Chomp Chomp Food Centre has been established for over 40 years. This Muslim-owned family-run business is currently being operated by the third generation.
Over here, you’ll find main meals like Mee Soto (S$5.50), Bee Hoon Soto (S$5.50), and Soto Ayam (S$5.50), all of which come with a piece of begedil(yums!). If you’re seeking a light snack to complement your meals, the Tahu Goreng (S$5), Nonya Otah (S$4), and Banana Leaf Otah (S$5) make excellent choices.
Have a craving for satay? The Warung serves up local-style Satay Celop paired with the usual condiments of cucumber, red shallots, and peanut sauce. You can also find Satay Jawa, an Indonesian-style gravy topped with their signature sambal kicap.
Each stick goes for S$1 each (minimum 10 sticks), with meat options like Chicken, Mutton, Beef, and Tripe. If you want some carbs to go along, add some Ketupat (S$0.90) as well.

Each time I swing by Chomp Chomp Food Centre, visiting (忠邦)福烧烤海鲜 BBQ Seafood for some barbecued seafood and zi char dishes is like a routine. This 12-year-old stall is currently handled by the second generation.
Feast on Gong Gong (S$12/S$15/S$20/S$25), Sambal Sotong (S$15/S$20/S$25), Dried Chilli Chicken (S$15/S$20), Sambal Fried Rice (S$6/S$8/S$12/S$15), Sambal Kangkong (S$8/S$10/S$12/S$15), and so much more.
Lo and behold! The dish that got me hooked to this stall: the BBQ Stingray. My small S$15 piece is, as always, fresh and tender (it doesn’t disappoint). It comes slathered with a generous amount of sambal that’s tasty and slightly chunky, with a side of calamansi and some zesty cincalok.
Not a spice lover? Not to worry. The heat of the sambal doesn’t leave you scrambling for a glass of sugarcane.
Daily: 4pm – 12.30am
Fancy some lok lok? Then look out for Wang BBQ & Grill at stall 31, where a plethora of more than 42 skewers consisting of meat, veggies, seafood, and other goodies greet you within the chiller. The friendly aunty has been operating here for the past 12 years, and shared with me that her skewers are first deep-fried before being grilled.
The various ingredients are categorised based on the colour code indicated on the sticks: S$1.20 for red, S$1.50 for black, S$2 for green, and S$3 for orange.
Ingredients that deserved their honourable mentions were the Fried Broccoli (S$1.50), Grilled Button Mushrooms (S$1.50), Okra with Chicken Ham (S$1.20), and Pork Belly (S$3).
The skewers were fried to a delightful crisp and seasoned with chilli powder. A trinity of sauces are served alongside: Thai sweet chilli sauce, fiery spice chilli sauce, and sesame sauce. Honestly, when I noticed that this stall only has a 2-star rating on Google, I was shocked. I enjoyed most of the food here, so what’s wrong? Taste is subjective, indeed.

Believe it or not, Wang Da Shen Chicken Wing & Satay is run by the daughter of the aunty who runs spot #6. This stall is one of the newer additions to Chomp Chomp Food Centre, which only started operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, and is the only spot that stays open till 2am!
The menu offers Satay with chicken, pork, mutton and beef options, selling at S$0.80 per stick, with a minimum of 10 sticks. It comes with their own house-made peanut sauce. There’s also Ketupat (S$0.80) available for a complete meal.
I tried the BBQ Chicken Wings (S$1.50 per piece, minimum 2 pieces) which were barbecued till they had a rich, golden-brown exterior, and were served with a side of chilli sauce.
Chicken wing lovers will be in for a treat. The meat was moist and seasoned to perfection, while the skin was crispy and aromatic. Dunking the wings into the chilli made for an ideal combination. Before we knew it, the wings were polished off — only the bones remained.

There are a couple of orh luak stalls at Chomp Chomp Food Centre but Chomp Chomp Fried Oyster is the one to look out for. Having been around for more than 10 years, the owner shared that they were formerly operating under the brand ‘Ang Mo Kio 409 Fried Carrot Cake’.
As the previous name suggests, the menu does have Carrot Cake (S$4/S$5) as well as Oyster Omelette (S$7/S$9/S$12/S$15) and Fried Oyster (S$8/S$10/S$12).
The Fried Oyster is beautifully stir-fried with eggs and starch until some parts are slightly charred and crispy. It’s fragrant and comes with plump, juicy and briny oysters. If you love a spicy kick, don’t forget to dip it with the zesty chilli.
Daily: 5pm to 1am
Heading to Chomp Chomp Food Centre in a group and seeking some small bites to go with your mains? Then look no further than Chomp Chomp Rojak • Popiah which sells a variety of snacks that’s perfect for sharing.
Enjoy the garlicky goodness of Popiah (S$2.20 per piece) or munch on some crunchy Pai Di (S$4 for 5 pieces).
You can also indulge in a plate of Rojak (S$4/S$5/S$6) that has crispy you tiao, crunchy turnip, sweet pineapple, and more, all topped with loads of grounded peanuts. For something a little healthier, try the Fruit Rojak (S$5/S$6/S$7) instead.
Alternatively, you can order a platter of You Tiao Tao Po Set (S$8/S$10/S$12) to pass around the table. Just imagine stuffed tau pok, century egg, dried cuttlefish, and sliced you tiao all cramped into one plate — I’m drooling already!
Daily: 4pm – 12am
Though Ah Hock Fried Hokkien Noodles at Stall 27 has a Michelin Guide listing, the owners don’t display it anywhere — which I think is pretty cool. For over 35 years, this stall has been serving up plates of Hokkien mee that lean towards the drier style rather than the wetter version. It’s now operated by the second generation.
With S$4, S$5, and S$6 options available, each plate has a stir-fried mixture of thick rice vermicelli, yellow noodles and egg, topped with prawns and sotong. Though this stall has several mixed online reviews that praise and criticise the standards of the Hokkien mee, it still attracts quite a crowd.
