Background
Tekka Centre is a multi-storey building which contains all things food, from a wet-market, to a hawker centre, to various shops selling edible goods or cooking ingredients.
Wet Market
The wet market of Tekka Centre adheres to strict hygiene requirements and is also very well organised. You’ll find a range of meats and fish for much cheaper prices and higher levels of freshness than most places.
Upstairs
Here is where things get a little interesting since it is the only area of the centre that doesn’t concern itself with food. You’ll find a range of tailors, mostly specialising in sarees and Indian clothing. There are also many antique shops that deal in buying as well as selling.
Hawker Centre
This is definitely the pride and glory of Tekka Centre. The range of food you will find here is beyond astonishing. Garlic naan with chicken tikka, Nasi Biryani, duck rice, prawn noodles, onion fritters and many more dishes from all over Asia can be found. If you’re staying nearby at hotels in Serangoon Road Singapore for example, such as Park Hotel Farrer Park, experiencing the Tekka Hawker Centre is a must!
