While it might not be as famous as the nearby Old Airport Road Hawker Centre, Jalan Batu is also home to some hawkers that many loyal customers continue to patronise.

However, come 15 Mar, the market will be closed for a month-long renovation. So if you’re badly craving their wanton mee, you might want to make a trip down soon before they shut.

Although it’s just a short 1-month closure, the market at Block 4A Jalan Batu will be missed by residents for the convenience it provides.

In the meantime, residents in the area can take the chance to visit the famous Old Airport Road Hawker Centre instead.

Try the famous wanton mee store before closure

Though the market is home to 30 hawker stalls, one in particular sees longer queues than the rest — Kim Kee Tanjong Rhu Wanton Mee.
