I hate to be a spoilsport and think that Newton would fit a lot of people's tastes, but it is not as good as the East Coast seafood places or the Geylang hawker stalls. Newton is very centrally located and used to tourists.
Sure, we've had some bad food experiences in the Newton Circus, but as locals we are lucky inasmuch as we have the opportunity to go back repeatedly and check out more stalls. Which makes us gluttons, rather than gluttons for punishment.
One stall that has invariably satisfied is Number 61 - Goodmans Barbecue Seafood. We live very nearby and stroll down a couple of times per week to stuff ourselves with their Mee Goreng, Blachan Kangkong and whatever seafood tempts us on the night. The chilli squid is great - served in a rich, spicy sauce and always tender, we also love the stingray, and you can never go wrong with prawns. The only items that are pricey are the prawns, and no more so than anywhere else. We usually have one prawn dish, and fill up on the less expensive items.
The most difficult aspect of the night is cutting a path through the spruikers to get to stall 61.
You can find better food at other hawker markets (chicken rice at Tian Tian at Maxwells is legendary), but Newton doesn't deserve the bad rap it gets, besides - it's only 5 minutes walk from home.
Favorite Dish:
blachan kangkong
It's just a hawker center. However the taste is just like a big restaurant. There're a lot of seafood stores here, mainly grilling the seafood.
HIghly recommended not to miss these giant Tiger Prawns. I couldn't find it even in the East Coast Seafood Center. One tiger prawn will be already good enough for my dinner.
Favorite Dish:
Here's the grilled tiger prawns with garlic and butter. Though a bit expensive in terms of being dining in a hawker center, it's a really yummy dish that could not be missed.
Hawker centers are very popular places to eat in Singapore and cheap as well. This is the place where we had our VT meeting.
Here are many stalls with different food, from seafood to deserts.
We tried local food - satay with peanuts sauce, muscles, fried vegetables,....Everything was very fresh and delicious.
Our 1st meal in Singapore was pretty expensive. We ate grilled shrimp and other seafoods but forgot to check the price first. Shrimp cost S$70 for one kg and we had grilled shrimp for 900 grams. Haha ... so this meal was most expensive meal of us in Singapore, it's about S$140 which we could spend it for a whole day.
Favorite Dish:
Of Course, seafoods that we paid!
