Newly Renovated Newton Food Centre Hawker Stalls To Check Out in Singapore

ABBEY: My cousin wants to go where the “Crazy Rich Asians” actors filmed in Singapore. One of them is at Newton Food Centre. 

So we ordered chili crab, char kway teow and Hokkien Mee. We finished all the chili crab sauce with fluffy fried man tou. The noodles are firm and flavorful with wok hei and lard. They are all washed down with sugar cane juice. Talk about local. Haha. 


WILL: This hawker stall gained additional fame thanks to an appearance in the movie Crazy Rich Asians. Some stalls here have been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand, and that's exactly where we decided to treat our American visitor.

Naturally, we ordered plates of Hokkien Mee and Fried Kway Teow at Newton Old Signboard 25 (#01-25), one of the renowned stalls in the Newton hawker center. And the taste? Exceptional! The chili sauce elevated the flavor of everything - simply delicious!


We couldn't allow Abbey's cousin to leave Singapore without savoring the famous Chili Crab from Alliance Seafood, another Michelin-approved stall in the Newton Hawker Center. The taste? The crab meat practically melted into the sauce, making it unnecessary to crack the shells. Freshly fried mantou buns were the perfect accompaniment to this delectable meal.


Our tummies left highly satisfied. Is this hawker a must-visit? Absolutely! It's another gem to explore, well worth a visit alongside the popular options in Chinatown.

🇸🇬Singapore Teatime Extravaganza ☕️ at L'Espresso Goodwood Park Hotel

ABBEY: We had an afternoon tea buffet at L’ Espresso (Goodwood Park Hotel). They do have scones but not the texture I expected (could have been on the flaky-crumbly side). Open and petite sandwiches were also available along with choices of cheese and dried fruits. 

We got to try local foods like chili crab, satays, spring rolls, prata with chicken curry, shrimp dimsum and siew mai. I went for multiple servings of beef from the carving station as well as their beef stew. 

Their durian crepe is a must have which is not too overpowering. And for dessert I had a plateful of truffles (dark, white, and milk) and fruits. Our supposed to be 3PM tea time was moved to 12NN. More time for us to enjoy delicious food. 


WILL: If you're searching for the best tea time buffet in Singapore, you'll undoubtedly come across Goodwood Park Hotel's offering. L’Espresso restaurant is situated in their lobby, right next to a veranda with a lovely view of greenery. The furnishings are so inviting that you'll feel as if you're visiting a friend's house, invited for a coffee or tea and sharing laughter.

Now, how was the food? It was superb. They offer steamed dim sum, chili crab with mantou, croissants, an array of cheeses and crackers, and delightful macarons and chocolate truffles! I was somewhat disappointed with the texture of their scones, which didn't quite measure up to those served in other hotel restaurants.


I recommend giving it a try, although it's not an absolute must-visit. However, this is one of the more affordable tea time buffets you can find here in Singapore.
