It’s been a long time coming, but Punggol’s latest hawker centre – Punggol Coast Hawker Centre – is now open for business. The food centre starts welcoming patrons on Friday, July 25, 2025. It is located within walking distance of the new Punggol Coast Mall and Punggol Coast MRT Station. 

The hawker centre seats over 600 people across 121 tables, and is open daily from 6am to 10pm. Expect 40 stalls, comprising 34 cooked food stalls and six selling drinks, juice and dessert. In particular, you’ll spot familiar names like Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee and Hock Hai (Hong Lim) Curry Chicken, listed in the Michelin Bib Gourmand and Michelin Selected lists respectively. 

Well-loved braised duck stall South Buona Vista Braised Duck, which shuttered early last year, is also making a comeback at Punggol Coast Hawker Centre. The former Desker Road eatery has a 50-year history and even made the news when owner Mr Ang Chiap Teck decided to close it in 2024.

Other tenants at the new hawker centre include Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun – this will be its tenth outlet in Singapore; Whampoa Traditional Fried Oyster; and halal options like Kedai Salima and SJ Sickander Ammal Muslim Food. 

Old-school names aside, Punggol Coast Hawker Centre will also feature younger hawkers like Yuan Ming, Brandon Lim and Oh Chin Jie who own What The Puff, selling curry puffs with unique fillings like char siew, black pepper chicken and otah. Lei cha fans can also dig into hearty, healthy bowls of thunder tea rice and Hakka yong tau fu at Hakka Leipopo. Another popular stall is Hee Hee Steamed Fish & Seafood, which has seven other branches around the island.

Punggol Coast Hawker Centre is located at 84 Punggol Way, #02-55, Singapore 829911.
