Balestier is a rich melting pot of hidden finds and local delicacies rich with history. Fancy a food trail that is sure to keep you satiated? Balestier has got you covered, with its famous bak kut teh, chicken rice, tau sar piah and even everyone’s favorite hawker dishes at Whampoa Hawker Centre and Whampoa Makan Place (both situated side by side). Along the main road are also the unmistakable rows of colorful shophouses which house lighting and electrical shops.

A place where heritage meets modern, all within one of the most iconic places of sunny Singapore.
