Singapore’s Orchard Road is synonymous with shopping, luxury, and the vibrant pulse of the city. Yet beneath this buzzing boulevard lies a treasure that beckons food lovers: the newly renovated Orchard food court at Tang Plaza. This basement food haven, officially reopened in August 2025 after months of anticipation, combines iconic local tastes with contemporary flair, inviting both locals and visitors to savour the best of Singaporean heritage cuisine.

A Modern Hawker Marvel

Taking up residence in the basement of the historic Tang Plaza, the Orchard food court—branded as Hawkers’ Street—sets itself apart from conventional mall dining. Featuring fifteen hand-picked stalls, including six Michelin-recognised brands, this is the largest Hawkers’ Street outlet to date. Its air-conditioned ambience, retro-chic decor, and subtle nods to historic hawker centres offer respite from chaotic Orchard Road, making it an oasis for those seeking authentic flavours with convenience.

The Michelin-Studded Line-Up

A standout feature of this Orchard food court is its impressive array of Michelin Bib Gourmand and Michelin Plate-awarded stalls. Foodies will rejoice at not having to crisscross the island for these celebrated hawker experiences. On offer are favourites including:

Fei Fei Roasted Noodle
Renowned for its perfectly roasted meats and springy noodles, Fei Fei offers classics such as duck leg noodles, char siew, and shrimp wantons—the signature noodle is especially popular. With decades of legacy, it’s a stall that routinely draws lunchtime crowds.
Hup Hong Chicken Rice
In a city obsessed with chicken rice, Hup Hong excels. Its rice is fragrant, the chicken plump and juicy—choose between poached or roasted—accompanied by rich chicken broth and their house-made chilli.
Springleaf Prata Place
A favourite for locals seeking comfort, Springleaf Prata Place serves up crisp, flaky prata (plain or with cheese and onions), as well as innovative creations like the Murtaburger and Plaster Blaster. It’s the reliable fix for your prata cravings right in the heart of Orchard.
Tai Wah Pork Noodle
This stall’s bak chor mee (minced meat noodles) brings together springy egg noodles, vinegary sauce, and tender pork—an air-conditioned version of the classic hawker experience.
Loong Kee Yong Tau Fu
Yong tau fu lovers are spoiled for choice, with a wide range of ingredients—meatballs, fried tau kwa, and stuffed vegetable pieces. Diners can opt for noodles, rice, or chee cheong fun as their base, creating a bowl to fit any taste.
Tai Seng Fish Soup
Direct from Taman Jurong Food Centre, Tai Seng Fish Soup is a Michelin guide selection, perfect for those seeking something lighter but no less satisfying. Mixed and head soups showcase fresh, tender fish in clear broth.

Local Gems and Heritage Picks

In addition to Michelin stars, the Orchard food court at Tang Plaza features a curated selection of local favourites:

Hwa Heng Beef Noodle—A hearty option for those craving robust flavours.
The Viet Roti and Ramen King—Offer Asian fusion bowls and Japanese classics.
Auntie Jessie Traditional Rojak—Singapore’s beloved sweet and savoury salad.

Classic dishes like laksa, char kway teow, poh piah, rojak, carrot cake, and chendol can also be found, making this Orchard food court a microcosm of Singapore’s eclectic food scene.

Atmosphere: Old-School Meets Modern

Step inside and you’ll find retro-inspired wooden stools, colourful tingkat displays, and vibrant food photos plastered across the walls. The layout is intentionally tight—while this makes the space lively, diners carrying trays may want to exercise some caution. Seating is limited, so visiting outside peak hours offers a better chance of snagging a spot.

Despite the compressed space, the atmosphere recalls classic hawker centres while delivering elevated comfort and air-conditioning—a welcome change on a balmy Singapore day.
