About Maxwell Food Centre

Home to over a hundred stalls under one roof, this historic dining institution is best known for Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice alongside an expansive spread of heritage hawker dishes, drinks, and local snacks. Diners head here specifically for the poached chicken rice, though the sheer density of stalls means queues at popular stands can stretch long during lunch rushes and seating fills quickly across the shared communal tables. With ten other hawker listings within a kilometre—including Chinatown Complex Food Centre just three hundred metres away—it stands out as one of the area's most concentrated culinary landmarks. You will find it along Kadayanallur Street in Tanjong Pagar. Our pick in Tanjong Pagar for classic Hainanese chicken rice and serious lunchtime buzz.
