New to the north side of Singapore is the Yishun Park Hawker Centre, a 800-seater space housing 43 vendors selling everything from chicken rice and nasi padang to BBQ seafood and tze char. Besides the familiar faces behind Fishball Story, Yu Kee Duck Rice, Yam Mee, and Xin Long Xing, 13 businesses are new, including a Hakka tofu rice bowl stall, a salad stall with egg-free dressings, and a nasi lemak stall.
Situated at 51 Yishun Avenue 11, the hawker centre offers top-up kiosks for cashless payments, and family-friendly weekend events with activities such as face painting, arts and crafts and water play, as well as an arcade game and pinball machine area. Its daily opening hours of 6am to 10pm mean that you can get affordable meals at $3 from any eatery whenever you want.
Also look out for a retail drink space called the Tuck Shop, which is billed as part self-service retail store and part gastro bar. Oh, and if you happen to be in the vicinity during popular sports season, you may find the matches broadcast on the two massive screens there.
In other words, Yishun’s not all that bad.
