Maxwell Food Centre is a treasure trove of Singaporean street food, buzzing with the energy of locals and tourists seeking authentic local cuisine. Located in the heart of Chinatown in Singapore, this hawker centre is known for its historical significance and contribution to Singapore's diverse culinary scene. With over 100 stalls, visitors can explore a vast selection of dishes such from traditional Hainanese chicken rice, satay, and laksa to the less familiar but equally tantalizing char kway teow, rojak, and fish soup. The centre's open-air layout creates an inviting atmosphere, where communal tables foster a sense of kinship and shared experience through food. Over the years, Maxwell Food Centre has garnered a reputation for being home to some of the city's best and most affordable eats. It's not just about the food; the center's heritage-rich environment and close proximity to other cultural attractions like the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Thian Hock Keng Temple provide an enriching experience for those looking to immerse themselves in Singapore's cultural tapestry.

Local style of food
I went there at around 4:30pm, not very crowded but quite hot. Suitable for a quick local meal especially their soup noodles and Hannanese Chicken Rice.
