Chomp Chomp Food Centre has been pulling crowds since the 1970s with its strong lineup of smoky grilled meats, fried classics, and late-night favourites. Tucked in Serangoon Gardens, this compact hawker centre stays awake past midnight, drawing everyone from supper hunters to satay lovers.
If you’re planning a trip, come hungry. Here’s a guide to 10 stalls that regularly see long queues—for good reason.
1. Ah Hock Fried Hokkien Mee
Unit: #01-27
Opening Hours: 5:30 PM – 10 PM (Tuesdays – Fridays), 4:30 PM – 10 PM (Saturdays), 4:30 PM – 9 PM (Sundays) (Closed on Mondays)
One of the centre’s most recognisable names, this stall draws lines even before opening. The Hokkien mee blends thick yellow noodles with bee hoon, stewed in a rich prawn broth and topped with prawns and squid. No lard crisps, but the natural sweetness of the seafood and the sambal-calamansi combo still make it satisfying.
2. Ang Sa Lee Oyster Omelette
Unit: #01-33
Opening Hours: 4:30 PM – 11 PM (Closed on Wednesdays)
This version uses less starch and more egg, creating a softer, gooier texture. The oysters are fresh and juicy, and the chilli sauce offers a good sour-spicy punch. Those who prefer crisper edges may find it slightly too moist.
3. Ang Mo Kio 409 Fried Carrot Cake
Unit: #01-24
Opening Hours: 4 PM – 11:30 PM (Closed on Mondays)
Known for both its oyster omelette and carrot cake, this stall offers a crisp-edged white version and a darker, sweeter black one. Go for the $5 mix to get both. The radish cubes are soft, and the chye poh brings the right savoury crunch.
4. Hai Wei Yuan Seafood BBQ
Unit: #01-01
Opening Hours: 5 PM – 12 AM (Closed on Mondays – Thursdays)
Stingray lovers come here. Their sambal stingray comes wrapped in banana leaf with smoky sambal bubbling under crispy skin.
5. Chomp Chomp Satay
Unit: #01-34
Opening Hours: 5:30 PM – 9 PM
This stall earned a spot on the Michelin Guide for good reason. The satay skewers—pork, chicken, beef, mutton—are grilled to juicy tenderness with a smoky finish. They’re paired with a pineapple-laced peanut sauce that brings balance and bite.
6. Swee Heng Wanton Noodle
Unit: #01-12
Opening Hours: 4 PM – 12 AM (Closed on Wednesdays)
Tucked in a corner, this stall serves wanton mee with springy noodles, flavourful broth, and a generous helping of char siew. You’ll also find chicken feet noodles and spinach dumpling options. Portions are solid, and queues move fast.
7. Chia Keng Hokkien Mee
Unit: #01-02
Opening Hours: 5:30 PM – 11 PM (Closed on Tuesdays)
Those who prefer a wetter plate of Hokkien mee often find this one more flavourful. The stock carries a noticeable sweetness, and the wok hei holds up when eaten hot. Ingredients include prawns, pork belly, and lard bits. Expect a wait, especially on weekends.
8. Chomp Chomp Fried Kway Teow Mee
Unit: #01-35
Opening Hours: 5 PM – 12 AM
This stall plates up a dark, greasy, and intensely flavoured fried kway teow that leans into nostalgia. Expect generous wok hei, crunchy bean sprouts, soft flat noodles, and a mix of cockles, lup cheong, and egg all tossed together in sweet-savoury soy. Lard bits add texture, and the chilli provides just enough heat.
9. Carrot Cake
Unit: #01-36
Opening Hours: 5:30 PM – 11 PM (Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays)
With its plain “Carrot Cake” signboard, this corner stall is hard to miss. It dishes out both black and white versions, though not mixed. The white comes crisp and savoury with chye poh, while the black leans sweet with bolder seasoning.
10. Bedok 511 BBQ Chicken Wing
Unit: #01-28
Opening Hours: 24 hours
Recommended by many for its BBQ chicken wings, this stall grills them till the skin turns golden and fragrant. The meat stays juicy, and the marinade hits all the right notes.
