Singapore is home to many iconic hawker centres, and Ayer Rajah Food Centre is most certainly one of them.
Many in the area often visited the West Coast hawker centre for its delicious hokkien mee and fried rojak. However, it closed for renovations from 9 May to 31 Jul.
Fortunately, there’s good news for regulars — the renovation was a success and the hawker centre is back in business.
With brighter lighting, brand new fittings, and better ventilation, patrons can now enjoy greater comfort while dining in.
According to a press release by the West Coast Town Council, the newly upgraded Ayer Rajah Food Centre officially reopened its doors today (1 Aug).
The eatery now has a wide range of new features, providing both diners and stall owners with greater comfort.
