Halal Food in 31 Commonwealth Crescent

Commonwealth Crescent Market and Food Centre, located at 31 Commonwealth Crescent, has been an integral part of the neighbourhood food scene since 1969. The hawker centre underwent a major renovation in 1998 that transformed it into a bright and airy dining space, though its location about 15 minutes walk from Commonwealth MRT Station gives it a more neighbourhood-centric, off-the-beaten-path character compared to more accessible hawker centres. Among the standout stalls is Hong Kee Porridge at Unit 02-89, which brings over 50 years of history serving comforting bowls of Pork, Fish, or Fish Head Porridge starting from just three dollars. Henry Chicken Rice at Unit 02-91, founded in 1985 by Mr Teo, a protege of the legendary Chatterbox Chicken Rice main chef, has earned particular praise for its exceptional chilli sauce that elevates the entire dish. Jian Kang Noodles at Unit 02-77 serves super springy wonton noodles with prices ranging from 3.50 to 5.50 dollars, while Huang Da Fu at Unit 02-94, run by a young couple, offers bak chor mee starting from an incredibly wallet-friendly 2.70 dollars. The hawker centre also features Fai Kee Fish Head Bee Hoon, a hidden gem with 50 years of history spanning two family generations, and ASiP Fresh Cold Press Juice at Unit 02-85, which serves organic Avocado Milkshake made with just three premium ingredients. With its authentic old-school flavours and deeply affordable prices, Commonwealth Crescent Market and Food Centre exemplifies the traditional hawker culture that continues to thrive in Singapore residential heartlands.
