Newton Hawker center in Singapore

Newton Food Centre is a major food centre located in Newton, set up for tourists wanting to experience the 'traditional' way of eating in Singapore.
It's one of the best and most famous food centers in Singapore.
It was first opened in 1971 and it closed down in 2005 as the government wanted to revamp the food centre. It was reopened in July 2006 after renovations.
There are 83 stalls, arranged in a horseshoe configuration.
It has a great atmosphere and the food is delicious. The prices are a bit higher then in most hawker centers but it's well worth it.
Don't get frustrated by the many touts walking around, just get a table a look around to find the food stall you think is the best.
The Newton Food center is famous for it's sea food. Try the barbecued stingray topped with sambal sauce, one of my favorites.
Main courses range from $3 to $15
The Food Center is open daily from 6pm till 4am and is within walking distance from the Newton MRT station.
