Tekka Centre 竹脚中心

Try Roti John as an option. French loaf halves, fried w topping of minced mutton , sliced onions & egg . Literally means "John's bread ", John being a common salutation for Caucasians. Source: Infopedia

U can hardly find freshly shredded coconut in Sg wet markets now and in Tekka there are 3 stalls selling it. Even have fresh coconut milk . Really spoilt for choice!

The market buzzes with flowers , conversation and local food, to get your spicy thosai, meat, drinks or a prata & curry fix with skinty friends can be fun! Just minutes off the Little India train stop.

Porridge : the rice porridge fellow 4SQ users rave abt is Hup Soon #01-306. Operated by elderly folks, expect old-school goodness with every bite

History: Mkt was known as Tek Kia Kha (in Hokkien), meaning "foot of small bamboos", as bamboo once grew on banks of Rochor Canal . Adapted in2 Tekka Pasar ("pasar" Malay for "mkt"). Source: Wikipedia

Prawn noodles shootout. Prefer 545 Whampoa Prawn Noodles 01-326 to Jasmine Pork Rib Prawn Noodle 01-316. Their soup base was lighter, yet more flavourful. Jasmine has more vege

Fried chicken briyani set ($7 with egg , achar, pappadums & sambhar). Classic serving from Allauddin’s Briyani #01-232. Rice was moist & packed w flavours. Salty seasoned meat paired well

Rasa Raja Bojun Sri Lankan Food: tasted the watthalapan dessert . Made of coconut , it is great! Sweet with jaggery (Sri Lankan sugar)!

Masala dosai. Savoury tastes from Sri Tiffan Stall #01-224. Enjoyed the potato-based filling, as well as the sambhar. The freshly-made vadais (Indian 'donuts ') were warm & crispy

Many stalls near market , along Buffalo Rd selling fresh flowers (without stems), or garlands. Min $1/bag of loose flowers (can mix types). Going rate for flowers tied to string is $1.50/ft (~30cm)

Banana leaves . Tanga Banana Leaf offers both pre-cut tray size (20-cents/pc), & these bigger ones used for prayers ($1). Stall is next to popular Chia’s Vegetable Supply 01-88

Mee Goreng (fried noodles Indian-Muslim style). Ajimer Sharif prepares a generous plate. The red colour, from colouring, makes it look spicier! Fried egg is optional

Chia’s Vegetables Supply (#01-129) has imported vegetables not usually found in other wet markets like fresh herbs and sage . Thumbs up for the friendly service too!

Chendol drink: Unique find. Plenty of stalls sell it for $1.20. We get ours fr Maya Mohan (w photo of ex-Prez Nathan) #01-246. They also serve other popular beverages, incl teh tarik

Apom. Enjoyed the egg apom from Sky Lab #01-227. Presentation-wise, I should dine in rather than takeaway , so that dish maintains its bowl shape????

Dum briyani . Aromatic rice from Yakader #01-259. Had raisins & nuts to add to flavour & texture. Chicken was decent. Served with sides of achar & vege curry

omg I'm in love with tekka market - smorgasbord of hawker delights and the wet market sells EVERYTHING. + the cheery store owners really make this a wonderful place to shop.

U can enjoy very cheap and good food, there is also wet market . u can buy some India goods. i like eating Indian food in here.

Prata : Zoomed in on Prata Saga Sambal Berlada (#01-258), based on 4SQ tip. Loved it! Crispy , freshly-made prata . Picked mixed curry over plain. Plus owners r a jovial lot, joking as they serve u :-D

Eat and tour like a local from wet market shopping to eating at Hawker Center and sari boutique stalls. Crowded most of the time, best time to visit is before 11am or after 2pm.

Prata is great (the one with the queue) and some good Birianis .

Rasa Raja Bojun Sri Lanka Food: tasted the string hoppers. Tender! With the curry , it makes for savoury great taste!

Tekka Centre’s first level houses a bustling hawker centre. Located in Little India, naturally you have to try the North and South Indian food stalls here.

Enjoyed the vibe here. Always busy, always eating & drinking. At all times of the day ????

Appams . Freshly-made and well-presented. From Sri Aachi Aappakadai #01-219. Not affordable though. 1 plain + 1 egg appam = $4!

Kopi: Chinese-style. Not many stalls if u looking 4 a fix in d morning. After sampling d handful we cd find, Wah Heng @ #01-334 served d best. We cd taste d thick, strong brew. Zing!

Braised duck . Heng Gi sells a whole bird for $40. Can feed a family of 6 for 2 meals!

Vadai. Enjoyed a tasty & aromatic snack from Prasanna's #01-242. 50-cents????????

The Whampoa Prawn Noodle here is very good but be prepared for long Q. The Duck rice along the same roll as the prawn noodle also has a long Q too.

Hawker food at its best! Local experience you must try

Mee Goreng at Samad's Tekka Dum Briyani smells and tastes so good. But spice lovers, please request for extra chilli as a normal serving may not leave you coming back for more. Their mee kuah also gd!

Great hawker center with excellent indian and malay food! Recommend coco milk right from the coconut :)

Banana leaves : Cut & cleaned pieces 2 serve food on fr #01-85. Gr8 for added authenticity 4 home parties. $1 5pcs . Another stall ard the corner claims to hv bigger pcs 4 d same price.

Freshly grated coconut : Stall 178 is d only 1 in d area. Pay premium of $3 per fruit (vs $1.50 @ Geylang Serai). They also stock up on wide variety of curry powders

AXS kiosk located at main staircase from Serangoon Road bus-stop

Small market but can look around Indian necessaries. Must try Indian foods . ^^

Have a try at 肥佬熟食 at first row of stalls. The soup they used to cook wantan is different from ordinary ????

Look for the longest queue when you enter the left side. They have the best prata and coffee tarik!

Delicious wantan noodle ! :-)@LIM KEE COOKED FOOD 01-323

Duck rice : Popular braised duck/goose rice can b found @ #01-335. Fresh & succulent. Lip-smacking! Note: Closed on Mondays

The Indian food are nice, cheap and authentic but I hate the disposable plastic utensils. Advice to bring your own fork and spoon.

Great for cheap Indian food . Allaudin's biryani is generous and tasty.

For Breakfast lovers, pay a trip to Zhu Jiao Shu Shi 竹脚熟食, Stall #01-284. Offers tasty economic BeeHoon & Mee at highly affordable prices plus the Glutinous rice is a must try!

So much food. All of it delicious. And soooo cheap !

Chinese nasi lemak stall is really yummy with its fried chicken chop and curry vegetables .

Seng Kee yong tau foo is pure comfort food . a very friendly aunty makes your dining experience tt much sweeter! never mind the greasy floor :}

Prata saga sambal has the best prata here, accompanied by his famous sambal . The cook gets sent overseas by the tourism board to showcase Singapore food. Get here before 11 before he runs out.
