Located at Block 502 and 503 West Coast Drive, Ayer Rajah Market and Food Centre is popular among residents as well as the nearby National University of Singapore (NUS) students.

According to NEA, the market and food centre will soon be closing on 9 May for repairs and redecoration works.

Try the prawn mee, rojak & mee goreng before closure

Home to 17 hawker stalls that were awarded the Singapore Top Heritage Food award by the International Business Federation (IBF), the food centre is jam-packed with delicious Indian and Malay cuisine.

Here are some choices that you won’t want to miss if you’re heading down before it closes.

If you’re a prawn mee lover, you’ll probably know of Joo Chiat Prawn Mee, previously located at Crane Road. They boast generous servings of tender pork ribs in flavourful soup.

Singapore has no shortage of supper food but nothing hits like a plate of mee goreng.

N M Abdhul Rahim, which has been around for 35 years is well-loved for their mee goreng. Diners often rave about their secret sambal recipe, which adds a depth of spicy savouriness.
