ABC Brickworks Food Centre is a stone’s throw away from Hort Park, Henderson Waves and art galleries in
Gillman Barrack. Built in the 1970’s, ABC Brickworks Food Centre is so well preserved and maintained that it
remains as a popular modern destination. This place obtained its moniker from “Archipelago Brewery Company”,
which is the first ever brewery in Singapore. This place is a food court without air conditioning. You should get
a taste of Claypot Rice which consists of chicken, sausage, vegetables and grilled rice served in a clay pot. Ah
Er Herbal Soup is also a must try, you can’t really argue when this place succeeded in entering the Michelin Bib
Gourmand Singapore 2017. This food center offers cheap prices, the freshest of ingredients and no traces of
MSG. Halal food kiosks have their own lane, among the kiosks are Moustache Burger and Sahabah Grill.

THE BE D O K M A R K E T P LACE
NON HALAL
Previously well-known as Simpang Bedok, this hawker center is a newly renovated place. Located in Eastern
Singapore, The Bedok Marketplace is managed by young chefs with fresh and modern food concepts such as
home-baked bread, ramen, pasta or seafood. You can’t go wrong with KoKoRo Ramen and Mike’s Caribbean
Food that are quite famous here. You can also try western food at ChopChop Selection that will surely keep you
happy with their big portions. The only downside of this place is the difficulty to find halal food for those of you
who are Muslims.
288A Bedok Road
HOW TO GET THERE
You can reach The Bedok Marketplace from Tanah Merah MRT Station, then take bus number 2, 9, or 49 at the
nearest bus stop.
