[2025 Singapore Attraction] Travel Guide for Ang mo kio town (Updated Jul)

#summervacay There’s something about Ang Mo Kio Central during the summer that captures the spirit of a true heartland experience. Just a few steps from AMK Hub, the area transforms into a vibrant, sensory playground—especially during durian season. The streets come alive with rows and rows of durian stalls, their tables stacked high with Mao Shan Wang, D24, Red Prawn, and other varieties. The scent—pungent to some, heavenly to others—drifts through the air and draws crowds of locals gathering for their seasonal fix. Many stalls set up plastic chairs and tables, where durian lovers crack open the thorny fruit and dig in right by the roadside, laughing, chatting, and wiping their hands with the tissue packets sellers happily provide. But it’s not just about durians. Fruit shops all around AMK Central are in full bloom this time of year, overflowing with colourful baskets of mangosteens, rambutans, lychees, jackfruit, pineapples, and longans. The sheer variety makes it a great spot to stock up on tropical fruits, whether you're preparing for a family gathering or just want something juicy on a hot day. Occasionally, a pasar malam (night market) sets up shop in the open spaces near the MRT or bus interchange. When it does, the whole neighbourhood buzzes with a different kind of energy. Rows of tents stretch along the walkway, selling everything from fried snacks, grilled squid, Ramly burgers, Thai milk tea, muah chee, and curry puffs to mobile accessories and nostalgic childhood toys. The air is filled with the sizzle of frying pans, the clink of metal skewers, and the chatter of families out for an evening stroll. It’s also a lovely area to simply walk around. Shaded paths, friendly elderly folks playing chess near the community corners, kids scooting by with bubble guns, and the occasional busker strumming a tune under a tree—it all adds up to the kind of everyday beauty that feels real and grounding. Right next to all this is AMK Hub, where you can cool off with some aircon, grab a bubble tea, browse through Uniqlo or NTUC, or catch a quick meal at the food court or cafes. Whether you're here for the food, the fruits, or just a dose of familiar comfort, Ang Mo Kio Central during the summer has a little something for everyone. It’s the kind of place where durians meet daily life, where tradition blends into modern routines, and where every walk feels like coming home.

Located in the heartland neighbourhood of Ang Mo Kio, this Singaporean local hawker stall is known for its prawn noodles! Their broth is double-boiled with prawn shells, making it taste absolutely flavourful and hearty. You can also order additional pork ribs to your dish, although I did find it slightly overcooked as it didn’t fall off the bone as easily. But the best part is the food here is very affordable, you can get a bowl for as little as $4. The hawker centre has plenty of seats but it can get pretty crowded in the mornings and evenings! My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #sgfoodies #singapore #tripmoments #tripblazers

🥩 Wano Niku: A Wagyu Delight Among Hawkers 📍 181 Ang Mo Kio Ave 5, Block 181, Singapore 560181 Tucked away amidst the vibrant hawker scene, Wano Niku stands out as a luxurious gem that promises an exquisite Japanese wagyu hot plate experience without the extra cost of dining at a formal restaurant. The star of the show, the premium wagyu beef, is a testament to Wano Niku's commitment to quality. Each slice is masterfully seasoned and marinated, ensuring a burst of flavor in every bite. But it doesn't stop there – the carefully curated sides, including zesty kimchi, refreshing ginger, and an array of delectable sauces, create an orchestra of tastes that complement the wagyu perfectly. What truly sets Wano Niku apart is its ability to provide a taste of the upscale wagyu dining experience without the hefty price tag of a high-end Japanese restaurant. This hawker stall offers a more budget-friendly option for those who crave the rich flavors of wagyu but are mindful of their wallets. In a bustling city like Singapore, where culinary gems abound, Wano Niku shines as a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a sumptuous and wallet-friendly Japanese wagyu adventure. #wagyu #coffeeshop #hiddengem #lunch #hotplate

I love coffee, it's my instant perk me up and instant mood lifter! So definitely there's no Monday Blues whenever I visit Monday coffee bar at 421 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1. Their coffee chase my blues away. Monday Coffee Bar is situated at the bottom of an old HDB block in Ang Mo Kio and just when you thought no one would visit such a cafe in an old estate, you will be wrong. This little coffee bar with perhaps about 10 seats was bustling with coffee lovers, eager for a cup of coffee and their famous Sando sandwiches such as the chicken katsu sando. For coffees, they have the usual latte, cuppacino, genmaicha latte, etc. If you order a pastry/sando and a cup of coffee, you will get 15% off, definitely worth it as a set. I love how simple their cafe is, how simple their menu is but I really love how good their coffee and food is. Worth the visit. #singapore

Ang Mo Kio, Singapore These are all in ##Hejifa Self-service Supermarket In the morning market next door ##Yongxin Fish Ball Minced Meat Noodle Business hours are from 8am to 2pm. They only sell four kinds of products. Business is so good that if you go there at 8am, there will be a line that's as long as Lele. They have wide noodles, thin noodles, and rice noodles. They can be made into soup or dry. I go there every day for a week and never get tired of the signature dishes (fish cakes, fried minced meat, pork balls, especially the fish balls, which are different from the fish balls in Taiwan and are very chewy. They are my favorite)❤️ I was so tired that the boss asked me: What if I can't eat them when I return to Taiwan? I said: Then why don’t you open one in Taiwan! 🤣🤣😅 #Malay Noodles Looks ordinary It tastes like hot and sour noodles. There are dried shrimps, garlic crisps, and boiled eggs. Add chili peppers, chopped green onions and coriander If you like sour food, you can add the kumquats provided by the boss. Sour and spicy, very appetizing #Macpherson Starfish Cake Juice At first glance, the name might make you think it sells drinks. But it’s actually like Taiwanese braised food. Pig skin, large intestine, small intestine, vermicelli, fish cake... It's just "soup drops"! Very special, right! Especially with their homemade chili sauce Super delicious 😍 The point is ~ every time you order a side dish, it comes with a bowl of Kueh Tsai Soup Some are like marinade + lava, which is also delicious. If you don't want the lath, you need to inform the boss first. Otherwise the boss will take the initiative to attach above I wonder if you have noticed Many delicacies in Singapore are spicy. A paradise for spicy food lovers Of course there are non-spicy ones too But I think it doesn’t taste that good.

#mustdo #artsinsg #murals #paint #neighbourhoodwalks #sg50murals #localart #slowwalk Are you one that likes art? Love artwork related to Singapore? Love to check out murals in SG? Check out the murals located around Ang Mo Kio, where you can find murals no matter which exit you take from Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange. They are found under the HDB blocks where there are stalls, so head down when you have some free time where the weather is not too sunny as you can take a chill walk around the Ang Mo Kio neighbourhood. As you can tell, some of these murals have individuals with mask on as well, so definitely something new for you to check out if you like Singapore murals or artwork. Bring an umbrella in case it gets rainy with the weather being unpredictable these days.

Singapore has many green spaces dotted around the island, big and small. While it may be easy to miss the smaller parks or take them for granted, it is still worth exploring these neighbourhood parks and gardens, as they provide recreation for the residents staying in the area and allow them to destress and appreciate nature. Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West sprawls on a hillock in a quiet neighbourhood of Ang Mo Kio opposite the library. There are many steps and roads to give visitors a good cardio workout, or to simply enjoy some fresh air and the greenery provided by the sprawling grass and towering trees. One can get to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the area by climbing up the stairs to the plaza. The roads are either flat or gentle slopes, hence getting around the park is generally manageable though tiring. At the bottom of the hill, there is also a sandy playground with swings, slides and rope towers for the kids to play and expend their energy. There is also a Macdonald’s outlet near the playground which not only allows dine in and takeaway, but also has a drive-thru for those who drive. This fast food joint can be an option to bring the kids there for a meal. #mustvisit

#musteat Kow Loon Hong Kong Dim Sum Kow Loon Hong Kong Dim Sum is located at a coffee shop at Blk 151 Ang Mo Kio Ave 5. Their dim sum are hand-made by their staff and steamed or fried on the spot. Prices are lower than most dim sum restaurants (starting from $3 onwards) and is affordable as they do not charge GST or service charge. To order, just grab a copy of their order chit and a pencil, write down your table number and tick off whatever you’d like to order. Bring to the counter to make payment and they will serve the steaming hot dim sum to your table. I would recommend the siew mai(minced pork and shrimp dumpling), chicken feet and bbq pork chee cheong fun (portion is big and the rolls are quite silky soft).

#mustdo AMK fitness park Address: 570 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3, Singapore 560570 Nearest MRT: Ang Mo Kio station In so many neighbourhoods in Singapore, you can always find a fitness corner. It is built to encourage healthy living and also a common place to foster neighbour bonding. For sure, when you see a fitness corner, there is always a playground nearby. It is a good place to come over, the grandparents can do light exercise while watching their grandchildren at the playground. All these outdoor fitness corners were an alternative during the pandemic when all the gyms were told to shut down temporarily. It is also a good place to start exercising without paying extra fees. From the website: “ 3-Generation playgrounds combine fitness corners for adults and the elderly, with children’s playgrounds. Introduced since mid-2000, they make it fun for families to work out and play together, and bring different generations of residents together. I am happy to know the HDB towns in Singapore are a comfortable place to live in.

#summervacay Tucked away quietly at 51@AMK, Xi’an Impressions is one of those spots you might miss at first glance—but once you try it, it leaves a lasting impression. This small eatery specialises in the bold, comforting flavours of northwestern Chinese cuisine, with a menu full of street food classics that are hard to find elsewhere in the neighbourhood. The food here is rustic, punchy, and incredibly satisfying. Their meat-filled flatbread—crispy on the outside, soft and warm inside—is a must-try, especially with its generous filling of tender, slow-cooked spiced meat. The wide hand-pulled noodles are another highlight: thick, chewy, and tossed in a fragrant blend of chili oil, garlic, and vinegar. Every bite is full of texture and flavour, with a comforting richness that warms you from the inside out. We also loved the cold skin noodles—cool, springy noodles dressed in a spicy, tangy sauce with fresh cucumber and chewy gluten strips. It’s refreshing but still packs a punch. And if you're into grilled skewers, don’t skip the lamb—it’s smoky, juicy, and seasoned with just the right amount of spice. Despite its small size, Xi’an Impressions offers both indoor air-conditioned seating and a couple of outdoor tables for alfresco dining. The indoor space is simple and fuss-free, great for a quick, satisfying meal in comfort. The outdoor area has a casual charm too—perfect on cooler evenings when you want to enjoy your noodles or skewers in the open air. What makes this place special isn’t just the food, but how honest and unpretentious the experience is. It’s not fancy or flashy, but it delivers where it matters most: flavour, warmth, and comfort. If you’re in the Ang Mo Kio area and craving something spicy, chewy, and full of depth, Xi’an Impressions is one of those under-the-radar gems worth seeking out.

#summervacay A Hidden Japanese Ramen Gem in the Heart of AMK – Run by a Real Japanese Chef Every once in a while, you stumble across a spot so unexpected, so satisfying, you almost don’t want to share it. Tucked away in a quiet coffee shop in Ang Mo Kio is one such place—a humble-looking stall dishing out Japanese ramen, donburi, and katsu that rivals restaurant-level quality, all at prices that feel almost too good to be true in today’s economy. The stall is helmed by a real Japanese chef, and it shows in every bowl. Flavours are authentic, portions are generous, and there’s a level of finesse in the food that you rarely see in a hawker setting. I went for their signature Bao Ga Liao Ramen, which lives up to its name (“bao ga liao” = everything included). The tonkotsu broth is creamy, rich, and full-bodied—exactly what you want on a rainy day. It comes with springy Japanese noodles, a thick slice of rolled chashu, and a mix of crispy katsu on the side. What really impressed me was the chunky Japanese-style potato salad that came with it—creamy, well-seasoned, and surprisingly refined. It honestly wouldn’t feel out of place at a mid-range Japanese restaurant. But the real star? The Scotch Egg Katsu. It’s not your usual scotch egg. Here, their jammy ramen egg is wrapped in a thick meatball-like katsu, coated in golden breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to perfection. It’s huge, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with flavour. And honestly, where else are you going to find something like this in a local kopitiam? With everything that came on the tray—from the rich broth and layered flavours to the crispy sides and thoughtful add-ons—it felt like an absolute steal. In a time when food prices keep creeping up, it’s rare to find something that hits this level of quality without breaking the bank. If you're in AMK or even just looking for a new ramen fix, this spot is well worth hunting down. Just come hungry—and maybe don’t tell too many people. #localfood #myitinerary #thingstodo #citydaytours #afternoonteatime

Having dinner with friends yesterday, decided try this store. The food not bad will support again. Thank you..

#singaporeguide If you’re ever wandering around AMK Hub and craving something sweet or snacky, I highly recommend checking out Crolo by Swee Heng. It’s a small bakery tucked away but surprisingly full of interesting finds – and the best part is, most of the items are under \$3. Perfect if you're looking for an affordable treat without sacrificing taste. I stumbled upon it on a recent visit when I was just looking for something light before dinner. The smell of freshly baked waffles and pastries literally drew me in. It’s that kind of nostalgic, warm, buttery fragrance that hits you the moment you walk past. Naturally, I had to stop. Their selection is pretty varied – think croissants, waffles, little hand buns – all in different flavors from classic chocolate to more adventurous ones like biscoff or kaya. The waffles really stood out to me because they were freshly made and still warm when handed over. I ended up getting the peanut butter mochi waffle, which sounded like a strange combo at first but totally worked. The waffle was crispy on the outside, not greasy at all, and had this golden-brown crunch that’s just satisfying to bite into. Inside, the mochi layer was chewy and slightly gooey, and the peanut butter added a rich, nutty creaminess that reminded me of peanut tang yuan. It’s not too sweet either – more of a comforting, hearty kind of flavor. For something that cost around \$2.50, it felt like such a steal. What I appreciate about Crolo is that they’re not trying to be fancy. It’s honest, fuss-free bakery food with some creative twists thrown in, and everything feels freshly made. I also saw people picking up their pain au chocolate and some mini croissants, which looked just as good. Next time I’m definitely trying the biscoff croissant – that one seems to be a crowd favorite. If you’re around AMK Hub and need a quick snack or a casual dessert, Crolo is worth popping into. Especially if you're into warm, crispy waffles or buttery pastries that don't cost a bomb.

This cafe is newly open and is located in Ang Mo Kio Town, Singapore, postal code 560128. The setting is neat and peaceful. The tables are spaced at a reasonable distance. The best time to visit is during weekday at about 8pm. Besides the typical beverage, this cafe also sells I've creams and waffles. Besides the typical beverage, this cafe also sells ice creams and waffles.

If you're a fan of avocado milkshakes, you need to check out this hidden gem at AMK Central Market. I’ve tried quite a few around Singapore—including the well-known ones at Alexandra—but this one honestly tops them all in my opinion. What sets it apart? First, the quality of the avocado. You can tell they use super fresh, premium avocados—none of that diluted, artificially flavored stuff. The shake is thick, creamy, and naturally sweet, with a rich avocado flavor that doesn’t get masked by sugar or syrup. It tastes clean, wholesome, and incredibly satisfying. No shortcuts, just good ingredients. The stall itself is pretty unassuming, but don’t let that fool you. The owner is warm, genuine, and clearly takes pride in what he serves. He even shared that he doesn’t add any artificial flavoring or coloring, which is pretty rare these days. It’s that kind of attention to quality that makes this drink feel extra special. Aside from the avocado shake, the stall also offers a variety of fresh fruit juices starting from just $2.50. Think classics like watermelon, pineapple, green apple, orange, and even more refreshing combos depending on what’s in season. Everything is made fresh on the spot—no concentrates, just real fruit. Compared to the popular avocado shakes at Alexandra, this one is less sweet, more natural-tasting, and far more enjoyable for anyone who really loves the true taste of avocado. I’d say it’s the best avocado milkshake in Singapore, hands down. If you’re ever in Ang Mo Kio, swing by AMK Central Market and give it a try. It might just become your new favorite too.

I dropped by Ang Mo Kio for some errands and realized I hadn’t been here in a while. Across from AMK Hub, at the coffeeshop next to McDonald's, I spotted a sleek, modern-looking stall that seemed pretty new. . The signage had a contemporary design, and the menu caught my attention with its unique offerings. They serve laksa, but instead of the usual cockles, it comes with oysters. Their Bak Chor Mee-style noodles also offer an interesting twist—you can choose not just tomato or chili but also soy sauce. . I went for the soy sauce version of the fishball noodles, which came with a mix of white fishballs and a striking black one, adding an unexpected sensory experience to the meal. The flavors were fantastic, and best of all, it was affordable! . 📍Orh Kee Noodles 51 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3, 01 -03 Stall 7 @AMK, Singapore 569922 . #AMKFoodie #SingaporeEats #FoodieFinds #HiddenGemsSG #angmokio

#favouriteitinerary We can never say no to a good plate of braised duck rice, and Long House Soon Kee (Boneless) Braised Duck Rice at Happy Hawkers in Ang Mo Kio always hits the spot. This place has been a favorite for years, drawing both longtime fans and curious newcomers who can’t resist the sight of glistening, tender braised duck draped over fragrant yam rice. The duck is cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and completely boneless, making it easy to enjoy without any fuss. Every bite is packed with that deep, savory braised flavor, thanks to their signature gravy that’s rich, aromatic, and just thick enough to coat the meat and rice beautifully. The yam rice itself is a standout, slightly fragrant with a lovely, soft texture that pairs perfectly with the duck. A meal here isn’t complete without a side of their comforting herbal soup and that fiery chili dip. The chili has the right balance of heat, tanginess, and umami, cutting through the richness of the duck with just the right amount of punch. For those who prefer a different take, their braised duck noodles and porridge are great options too, offering the same bold flavors in different forms. The stall can get busy, especially during peak hours, but the wait is always worth it. There’s something satisfying about sitting down to a plate of this classic, no-frills dish, savoring every bite while soaking in the familiar buzz of the hawker centre. Long House Soon Kee is one of those places that makes us appreciate how simple, well-executed food can bring so much joy.

#favouriteitinerary 33 Vegetarian Food at 409 AMK Food Centre is a true hidden gem, specializing in what is arguably one of the finest vegetarian chicken rice offerings in Singapore. Unlike the standard factory-made mock meats, their rendition is crafted entirely from scratch using beancurd skin and yuba, resulting in a remarkably realistic texture that mimics the tenderness and bite of real chicken. Each meticulously plated set features both vegetarian roasted chicken and steamed chicken, elegantly arranged atop crisp cucumber slices. The presentation is so refined that at first glance, it could easily be mistaken for a dish from a high-end restaurant. Accompanying the main attraction is a well-balanced spread of achar, stir-fried vegetables, and a comforting daikon soup with a delicate vegetarian chicken ball. Of course, no chicken rice experience is complete without its quintessential trio—aromatic rice infused with savory stock, a fiery chili sauce with just the right tang, and fragrant ginger paste. Despite being entirely plant-based, the flavors remain strikingly authentic, and in some aspects, even more pronounced than their traditional counterpart. The steamed chicken, in particular, impresses with its smooth texture and nuanced taste, making it virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. With everything priced under $10, this hawker stall draws an unwavering queue of loyal patrons, all eager for a taste of its signature dish. They operate on a cash-only basis, so be sure to come prepared. Whether you're observing a vegetarian day or simply craving an exceptional take on chicken rice, this spot is well worth the visit. #thingstodo #afternoonteatime #myitinerary #localfood #citydaytours

#localhistory AMK dragon playground Address: 570 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3, Singapore 560570 Nearest MRT: Ang Mo Kio station The iconic dragon playground can also be found at Ang Mo Kio Ave 3. The most famous dragon playground is at Toa Payoh Lorong 6. This dragon playground represents our Singapore Heritage. It is one of the earliest playgrounds built in our neighbourhood back in the 1970s. Many grown ups can relate their childhood back to this dragon playground. The dragon is made up of terrazzo mosaic tiles which make it so special. It gives a nicer and life-like appearance to the dragon. It is entirely different to the modern playground which does not use tiles anymore. I am happy that there are still dragon playgrounds being left untouched in our fast-moving society.
