Halal Food in 500 Clemenceau Ave N

Newton Food Centre, strategically positioned at 500 Clemenceau Avenue North at the bustling Newton Circus intersection, holds a distinguished place in Singapore's culinary heritage. As one of the earliest hawker centres built by the Government in 1971, it was among the first two centres designed to house illegal street hawkers, with construction commencing in November 1970 at a cost of 6,800. After temporarily closing in 2005 for a comprehensive revamp, the centre triumphantly reopened on 1 July 2006, continuing its legacy of serving authentic local cuisine to both residents and tourists. Today, Newton Food Centre houses 83 hawker stalls showcasing a remarkable diversity of culinary traditions spanning Chinese, Malay, and Indian cuisines. The centre has achieved international recognition, gaining global spotlight when featured in the 2018 blockbuster film "Crazy Rich Asians." This cinematic exposure has transformed it into a must-visit destination for tourists seeking authentic Singaporean hawker experiences, while maintaining its status as a beloved local institution. The food centre boasts an impressive roster of well-loved establishments, with several stalls earning mentions in the prestigious Michelin Guide. Food enthusiasts queue at favourites including Hai Yan BBQ Seafood for fresh grilled catches, Newton Tian Xiang Big Prawn Noodle for generous seafood portions, and XO Minced Meat Noodles for their signature wok-tossed creations. Traditional comfort awaits at Newton Authentic Song Kee Teochew Fish Porridge, where silky rice porridge meets fresh fish in the classic Teochew style. For those seeking a sweet finish, 88 San Ren Cold & Hot Dessert serves up refreshing and warming treats. With its storied history, diverse offerings, and convenient location near Newton MRT, this iconic hawker centre continues to embody the spirit of Singapore's vibrant food culture.
