Stall by Stall Guide to the Best & Famous @ Golden Mile Food Centre
Golden Mile Food Centre is close to many Singaporean hearts and stomachs. I come here regularly since my National Service days in the late 70s. I used to come here to stock up on Army supplies but now it is the many good food stalls that draw me here regularly.
The Army market upstairs is a mere shadow of its heydays because our soldiers are so well supplied nowadays. But, the food centre below have thrived to a level I have not seen before. These are the most popular and famous food stalls at Golden Mile Food Centre.
