The best Singapore food blog is run by Dr. Leslie Tay (ieatishootipost...) and back in 2010 he conducted a survey asking people about what they though was the best or their favorite hawker food center in Singapore. Old Airport Road Food Centre won by a significant margin, so it’s quite safe to say this hawker centre is among the best and one of the local favorites in the city. I think it’s such a great place to eat in Singapore mainly because it’s big, it’s spacious, there’s a huge selection of different things to eat, and since it’s one of the oldest hawker centers in Singapore, it’s also home to some legendary food stalls.
Whitley Road Big Prawn Mee - Ying decided to first order a bowl of prawn mee (prawn noodles) from Whitley Road Big Prawn Mee - the main reason we went here is because the stall was continually busy with plenty of customers, and both of us love to eat shrimp. The yellow noodles came topped with some tangly prawns and doused in a salty shrimp tasting sauce with soup on the side. The dish was good, but a little on the salty side.
Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee - Probably one of the most famous Singapore food stalls at this centre is Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee, known for serving a popular version of fried hokkien mee noodles. The mix of both yellow and white rice noodles was mixed with prawns and squid and then blended in a special sauce. It wasn’t a fried dry noodles, but it wasn’t overly sauce, but it was somewhere in between. I quite liked it, especially with a squeeze of calamansi and some of the chili soy sauce on it.
Toa Payoh Rojak - Along with the fried Hokkien mee stall, this place for rojak is another one of the most famous places to eat at this centre. As soon as Toa Payoh Rojak opens for the day, they have a continuous long line of customers, and they specialize in serving Chinese style rojak - a mix of different things all coated in a sweet shrimp paste glaze. It’s one of those dishes that somewhere halfway in between a dessert and a savory snack, and when you’re eating it, you really don’t know. The Chinese rojak was quite good, with a very pleasant balance taste.
Wang Wang Crispy Curry Puffs - Finally, for my last thing to eat at Old Airport Road Food Centre I really wanted to try some curry puffs. The curry puffs were actually much better than I had anticipated, with incredibly flaky crust, and filled with a flavorful inside of curried potatoes. Amazing especially because they were fried so fresh.

I live in Singapore and this hawker center is my absolute favourite. I love it as there are so many varieties and they all taste fantastic.
Mark, you're a treat to watch. Your command of the ingredients is perfect. salivating with your every bite n your eyes n lips tasting every flake, every sliced, every prawn n noodles. I just had my lunch, but I'm convinced I'm ready to eat again.
My mum just scolded me for being such a fat couch potato and here I am enjoying watching Mark eat those curry puffs! Such delicious food will haunt me in my dreams tonight.
I've been watching some of your videos before and I wasn't a fan on how you react to those foods you've eaten but the more I watch your videos Mark you really inspire the food lovers and your videos are actually awesome the way you present the food and tasting them for the first bite. I'm starting to like the channel. Good job Mark keep up!
This is one of my childhood hang out place where i always crave for those delicious foods. Never the less singapore had been a food heaven.
Thanks for sharing this awesome video with us, @Mark Wiens & Team! Joyful, fun, peaceful and wonderful blessings to everybody and everything! 🥳😇☮️🍓🫶🏼🙏🍀💐🫶🏼⚜️🍶🎂👍🏽💞TYSM Universe!
That black pepper curry puff looks divine! I'm dying for one!
Your expression is reason enough for me to keep watching your channel, Mark.
Priceless...:)
I love how he leans when he tastes something good!!! It's priceless!!! Love your videos mark! Keep up the good work.
Mark, your food selections have honestly changed my diet for the better. I don"t use wheat noodles-just rice or Jasmine rice- no MSG or regular salt. Occasionally I use iodized Himalaya or sea salts I'll use Mrs. Braggs aminos( no salt but strong) in place of shoyu, and vinegar- her vinegar-strong as well. Mrs. Braggs kelp sprinkles with sea weed, lemons, limes, white or black peppercorn. Ponzu and plumb vinegar changes the profile to my liking as does a lo salt fish sauce. 20 lbs down and counting- cut my diuretics in half!!! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks!!
Almost a month ago, I came across a video of yours and ever since then I have watched all of your videos. Always excited to see you upload a new amazing and delicious food video. Keep it up Mark!

*adds all of them*
+kimkross exactly XDD
kimkross 😂😂😂😂
lol
First time watching Mark? ^^
Found you on TH-cam and really delighted. You do an excellent job on your channel and this video, in particular, is very well done. I saw foods that I had never tried on my last visit to Singapore and Malaysia.
Oh Mark looking at your latest video on Singapore makes me so hungry. I love Singapore.
Recently discovered your channel and I'm already loving it! Really glad you enjoyed the local dishes in my country, cheers!
Randomly watching some of your videos and ended up at the first video of yours that I watched!
Missing Singapore so much. I lived there before and the food are amazingly delicious
What's a awesome career you have Mark! go all over the world eating good food for living. Very nice...
THIS VIDEO WAS SO AWESOMEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 AWESOME JOB MARK!!!!!!!
Hi Mark! Just want to tell you that my bf and I LOVE your Vlogs. We are going to start our journey as digital nomads this year (with the first destination being Thailand), so we've been doing lots of research and we ended up watching every single video you've made lol (we are also big foodies). Thanks for making these amazing videos (and for being so positive and charismatic)! :)
Hi mark. Just got home from Singapore and I took my family to the places you have been reviewing was so much fun and the food omg sooo good thanks again from a view from Australia..
Mark, The next time you and Ying are in Singapore go to the Bugis Center Food Court and try the Claypot with chicken (or whatever) it is cooked rice in a clay pot - sauce and chicken are scooped into a pool made into the middle of the rice and as it cooks the flavor goes out into the rice. On the outside of the pot the rice becomes crusty and so full of flavor. It is great. Of course you eat it with sambal, Malaysians and Indonesians eat sambal with everything.
That look at 11:57...precious
when mark closes his eyes and leans to his right is the sign of a super tasty meal
"Let's add some of these chilis"
*adds all the chilis*
Classic Mark
new face unlocked Mark Wiens

+imaphan Thanks!
I like the combo reaction at 12:27. So much expression in such little time :))
I love Singapore.. I miss this place.. hope I can go back again and experience the wonderful scenery.. I love watching your videos sir Mark Weins..
Fruit rojak consists typically of cucumber, pineapple, benkoang (jicama), bean sprouts, taupok (puffy, deep-fried tofu) and youtiao (cut-up Chinese-style fritters). Raw mangos and green apples are less commonly used. The dressing is made up of water, belacan (shrimp paste), sugar, chili, and lime juice. Ingredients vary among vendors with some also using hae ko prawn/shrimp paste, tamarind or black bean paste in the mix. The ingredients are cut into bite-sized portions and tossed in a bowl with the dressing and topped with chopped peanuts and a dash of ground or finely chopped bunga kantan (pink ginger bud).
Old airport hawker centre is one of the top 3 hawker centres in SG. Satay, Porridge, Char Kway Teow, Beancurd and some western food are well known there too.
+joe tjiam Thanks Joe
Mark how do you think the food in Singapore compares to Bangkok, you seem to really enjoy it!
+Lukas Martin Hey Lukas, both are really good, and I think have bonuses about each. What I really love about Singapore is very distinct Chinese, Indian, and Malay food all available.
Would you consider Singapore similar to Taiwan/Taipei in terms of food availability?
@@LukeMartin buy his travel book

th-cam.com/video/7D7rIjLY3QI/w-d-xo.html
You need to come back!!!They are many other stores that are not as popular but they're much more fantastic than the famous ones!
Curry pastry looks so beautiful I would be afraid to bite it. What skill they put into how their food looks as well as how much it tastes
that unknown ingredient in rojak is called the mexican turnip or "sengkuang" in malay. it is a root which is juicy, sweet and crunch. that turnip is commonly used in making spring rolls called popiah.
you can call the chinese doughnut as you char kuey or youtiao.
After 1month of watching his videos, I want to go to Singapore just to eat the food! 😱😍😃 - it looks lush and I am a fan of sea food!
Keep on eating more food!
+Kesler Vaz Thank you Kesler, appreciate your watching. Hope you can visit Singapore soon!

With all that food you're eating, i can't imagine how much you must be working out to keep in shape!
My 2yr old niece is a fan of yours. Whenever she sees me watching your videos she will reach out to the screen and "grab" the food and act like she's eating it as well lol.

Do you and Ying ever try to cook any of the dishes you try at various restaurants and eateries?
Hahah the face you made when you took your first bit of curry puffs! Before you ate it, I actually said out loud, "it's going to be hot!"
You are lucky, mark. The Hougang Hokkien prawn noodles is not always open. Only open on certain weekdays around noon.
My dream is to travel and eat all stuff:)!
MY ALSO
Yes! Now that is a great hawker centre! Good one Mark and Ying.
I ❤️ the way you eat. Hearty and Carefree!
he looked so shocked when he bit into the curry pie
+James Alexander he's shocked because the fillings are still too hot that it burned him a little.
James Alexander his eyes are amazing 😍😍😍
In Singapore we call it curry puff!😀
0808JCS Lee I'm a singaporean. It's curry pie
Just kd
Hey Mark, I'm seriously curious to see this but will you do a video of you trying the popular Korean fire noodles? Your tolerance to spiciness amazes me and I wonder if the noodles got anything on you or will it be something you can just gulp down like it's nothing. Can you please do a video of it? Would love to see your view on it. When I watch other youtubers try it, it's hard to tell the level of spiciness but because I see how you eat those bird eye chili peppers, I know how your level of spice is.
Hello Mark, do try Western Barbeque western food there if you have the chance to go to Old Airport Road Hawker Centre, it is my childhood western food, my dad used to buy takeaway from a separate outlet in bedok when he was still working, but I went to try this main outlet which is the original stall here at Old Airport Road, that stall has been operating since 1970s
Excellent video, thank you for all your hard work! Mark/Ying, where did you stay in Singapore?
OMG... Mark, you didnt add a good dosage of the chilli paste? Its a must for the fried hokkien mee!
Dear Mark Weins, I am a subscriber of your incredible food videos. I must say you have sparked a high level of interest in food in me and it is because of you that I am travelling to Saigon in May after my university exams!! I am so thankful for your help and advice and as a Singaporean, I am please you are having a great time in Singapore. If you let me know your whereabouts, I would be happy to meet you and have a meal with you!
Regards,
Raj
Love Mark's videos -- def going to try the hokkien mee at Nam sing while I'm here.
Yum yum ....those dishes with shrimp looks delicious! !!😄🍤💕
His food looks so yummy makes me hungry when he finds food
Old airport road, now on my list!!
Mark ,
Thank you for sharing this video the noodles and that flaky crust... that looked delicious. Mahalo
Ivan
Those Curry Puffs look fantastic. I want one!!!
Thank you made my Singapore trip easy in terms of what to eat :)
I think Mark's reactions are a bit crazier in every vid. I'm scared that his eyelids might roll over his forehead in the near future after tasting something thats really ''buttery'' , ''creamy'' or ''just melts in your mouth''.
Very true. (:
I don't know who this guy is but when it's time for "that face/eyes scene", I have to scroll down or look away
th-cam.com/video/7D7rIjLY3QI/w-d-xo.html
i love the background music...what is it? great food and great video edits!!!! :D
You are so lucky to travel and eat!! 👌🏻
Sugar Cane Juice that sounds Yumm..That Food looks very Delicious Mark..That Noodles looks Mouth watering.
hahahaha 3 stunned delicious faces in a row! what a record Mark!
Hi Mark and Ying!
Very tasty dishes. Noodle dishes always go.
Delicious snacks.
Mark any chance you can get someone to give you a tour of one of those stands? I am wondering how big they actually are and if they utilize a shared space with other vendors for cooking and prepping food or if they are all separate units. What a great cost effective way to sell food. I like that they seem so compact.
The hawker stall units are pretty small and compact, size wise, most units have an area is of approximately a King sized bed. Each unit is rented out to a different food vendor, though some vendors may rent 2 side-by-side units if their businesses needed the space/facilities. Most units are equipped with/can fit a stove, fridge, sink and serving counter in front. Hawker centres do utilise space very efficiently, and it's also a space which many hawkers/vendors run their businesses in, while diners have a common space to order and sit down to enjoy different dishes from multiple stalls, so it gives diners plenty of food choices.
Avalon+ Thanks for the great information. I appreciate it.
Good to see you here!
All the food looks delicious. I love prawns. Yummy.
Hey Mark, love your videos! I've been watching for a few years now. When are you going to make it to Indonesia? There are many great food options, so I am wondering why you and your wife have not been yet, especially as it is so close to where you live. Keep uploading great videos!
That second noodle dish looks amazing. Gotta find the recipe. Thanks Mark!
+MsLansones Thanks, enjoy!
When did you go? You missed out on the Lor Mee. The queue for that is usually so long it might be an hour before you get your noodles. If you ever come back, try and find the Lor Mee stall. Its on the other side of the food centre. (Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee). Its open from 9:30 to 15:00, except on Thursday.
+Cyanic Banana Its the one that's closed at 14:10 of the video.
Thank you so much for making videos you teach me a lot about food
Thank you again for the culinary trip!
Great Choice with the Whitley Road Prawn Noodles Mark! Hope you like it.
