Hong Wen Mutton Soup Ghim Moh • Original 50 Year Old Beauty World Icon 紅炆羊肉湯

Old Beauty World Hong Wen Mutton Soup 紅炆羊肉湯 📍Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre 🚅 Bouna Vista station ⏰ 9:30am - 7:30pm (Sat & Sun off)

🎗Hong Wen Mutton Soup has started operations at Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre on 1 Mar 2026. (Article below was written before the move from Maxwell Food Centre.)

Stumbled upon Hong Wen Mutton Soup stall at Maxwell Food Centre. I know Hong Wen as it was one of the top of my mind Chinese mutton soup stalls in Singapore since the 1980s.

Eh... But Hong Wen Mutton Soup seemed a bit out of place here in the CBD 🤔 - the stall is an Upper Bukit Timah / Beauty World icon.

Thye Hong Handmade Fishball Noodle 🐟 Ghim Moh People's Favourite 太豐鱼圆面

Thye_Hong_Handmade_Fishball_Noodle_Ghim_Moh_太豐鱼圆面

Popular old fishball noodle stall in Ghim Moh Food Centre. Their springy noodles and lardy sauce are nice. I especially like their handmade fishball and fish cake as its savoury sweetness is among the best balanced of all that I've tried so far, anywhere in Singapore and Malaysia.

Ghim Moh Chwee Kueh. One of Last Handmade Teochew Water Cake Stall in Singapore 李老三传统水粿

Ghim_Moh_Chwee_Kueh_李老三传统水粿

Trays of freshly steamed chwee kueh - a scene you see at Ghim Moh Chwee Kueh, one of the last water cake stalls that still make and steam their cakes at the stall. It feels and tastes different from central kitchen supplied chwee kwee, so public reactions to it are mixed.

Address: 20 Ghim Moh Road, stall #01-54, Singapore 270020 (Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre)

Guan_Kee_源记炒粿条

✍️ 3 Dec 2023. Guan Kee Fried Kway Teow called it a day after 54 years.

Guan Kee owner 陈福源 fainted while frying kway teow on 21 Nov 2023. Upon recovery a week later, the 77 year old decided that it is finally time to hang up his wok for good 🥲

TOM's City Zoom Mee Pok Tar @ Ghim Moh F C 🐟 Fish Chor Mee? 🤔 乡城鱼脞面

TOM's_City_Zoom_Mee_Pok_Tar_Ghim_Moh_乡城鱼脞面

Ghim Moh folks' favourite, a nice re-interpretation of the old staple minced pork noodle by a young hawker. The signboard in Chinese says 鱼脞面 Fish Chor Mee or minced fish noodle.

All About Wok Hei @ Ghim Moh • Hin Fried Hor Fun with Prawn Beef Sliced Fish 興鮮蝦牛肉魚片炒河粉

Ghim-Moh-Food-Centre-Hin-Beef-Hor-Fun

Judging by the perpetual queue at the stall, Hin Fried Hor Fun with Prawn Beef Sliced Fish is one of the stalwarts at Ghim Moh food centre (itself one of Singapore's best loved food haunts). I love Cantonese style beef hor fun and is always on the lookout for good stalls. (Quite hard to find fried hor fun with good wok hei in Singapore. Please share with me your favourites.)

Ghim Moh Carrot Cake. Chai Tow Kway 菜头粿

Ghim-Moh-Carrot-Cake-Chai-Tow-Kway-菜头粿

The queue at Ghim Moh Carrot Cake stall starts soon after 6am and lasts till as early as 12 noon, when all the day's carrot cakes are sold out. Ghim Moh Carrot Cake's kway 粿 are freshly made at the stall, so once the day's batch is sold out, it's shutters down.

Yuan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee @ Ghim Moh Food Centre 元福建炒虾面

Fried-Hokkien-Prawn-Mee-Ghim-Moh-元福建炒虾面

Looking at the lunch time queue at 元福建炒虾面 Yuan Fried Hokkien prawn mee at Ghim Moh food centre, I could never have guessed that the stall is a new kid on the block - it has been here for only one month. It just confirms one thing - that locals can always spot good food faster than anyone 😄

Best Food in Ghim Moh List. Char Siew @ Jiu Jiang Shao La Roasts

Ghim-Moh-Jiu-Jiang-Shao-La-Roasts

Today is my regular medical appointment at NUH Singapore, and a chance to explore the hawker centres nearby. I picked Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre (near Buona Vista MRT station) today as I have not been here for almost 10 years.
