Hawkers' Street Eastpoint Mall Review: A Masterclass in Local Heritage

For those living in the East, the arrival of Hawkers’ Street at Eastpoint Mall in mid-2025 was nothing short of a culinary revolution. This curated food court concept takes the stress out of hunting for Singapore’s most iconic dishes by gathering Michelin-recognised legends and local cult favourites into one beautifully designed, 1960s-themed space. It is a refreshing shift for a shopping centre that already boasts a great organisation of food, including Super Sushi and the ever-reliable McDonald's.

Stepping into Hawkers’ Street feels like a nostalgic trip back in time, with decor that pays homage to Singapore’s humble street-side beginnings. Yet, the flavours are as vibrant and modern as ever. This is a mandatory stop for any food enthusiast who wants to experience heritage cooking without the lack of air-conditioning. It perfectly complements the mall's diverse offerings, providing a rustic contrast to the minimalist aesthetic of Luckin Coffee or the healthy vibes of An Acai Affair.

The Michelin Heavyweights

The headline act here is undoubtedly Fei Fei Roasted Noodle. This Michelin Bib Gourmand stall is famous for its charcoal-roasted char siew, which boasts a perfect caramelised crust and a tender, melt-in-your-mouth centre. Their wanton mee is a masterclass in consistency, featuring springy noodles and plump dumplings that are just as satisfying as a meal at IPPUDO at i12 Katong.

Another legend in the mix is Tai Wah Pork Noodle. Known for their balanced use of vinegar and chilli, their Bak Chor Mee is a bold flavour explosion that draws consistent queues. If you prefer something lighter, the Tai Seng Fish Soup offers a clean, nourishing broth that rivals the artisanal quality found at Koo Kee on the first floor. These stalls ensure that the quality of food at Hawkers' Street remains simply superb.

Modern Favourites and Local Staples

It isn’t just about the heritage brands; Hawkers’ Street also features modern icons like King of Fried Rice. Their egg fried rice, topped with a succulent pork chop, has a wok-hei aroma that is truly addictive. For those who enjoy hand-pulled textures, Top 1 Home Made Noodle serves a ban mian that provides a comforting, wholesome alternative to the western fare at The Tree Cafe.

Rounding out the experience is Hill Street Hainanese Curry Rice, where the thick, luscious gravy ties together a variety of crispy and braised ingredients. It is a messy, beautiful plate of food that is a firm favourite for many. After such a rich meal, a refreshing drink from i-tea or the zesty sharpness of Yes Lemon is the perfect way to reset your palate. If you still have room for dessert, the nearby MIXUE offers the perfect sweet ending.

Why It Is the Heart of Simei Dining

The unapologetic focus on quality and heritage makes Hawkers’ Street a standout destination. It bridges the gap between the traditional hawker centre and the modern mall experience with effortless grace. While i12 Katong offers amazing fusion spots like Ishiro Fusion Bowl or Guzman y Gomez, Hawkers' Street keeps the spirit of Singaporean street food alive right here in the heart of Simei.

Whether you are visiting for a quick lunch or a family dinner, the vibrant vibe and diverse options ensure that everyone leaves satisfied. Don't forget to grab some roasted chestnuts from Lizoo on your way out for a truly nostalgic day of snacking. It is mandatory that you visit Level 3 to see what all the fuss is about!

Final verdict: An exceptional, high-quality, and authentic dining experience that brings the best of Singapore’s food culture to your doorstep. It is simply superb.
