Taman Jurong Market & Food Centre is a five-storey complex that started life as Yung Sheng Food Centre back in 1972. Once affectionately known as “Liu Shi Tan” (六十摊), meaning “sixty stalls,” it now houses an even more diverse lineup of hawkers across its wet market and food floors. Located in Singapore’s West, this centre is no stranger to long queues, die-hard regulars, and budget-friendly meals. If you’re looking for where to eat, here are 10 stalls worth prioritising.
