[2025 Singapore Restaurant] Travel Guide for ABC Brickworks Market & Food Centre (Updated Jun)

#traveldiaries ABC Brickworks Food Centre is one of my favorite places to grab a meal in Singapore. Located at 6 Jalan Bukit Merah, it’s a hotspot for delicious and affordable local eats. One of my go-to stalls is Sin Thor Eunos Bak Kut Teh and Braised Pork Knuckle. Their Bak Kut Teh is simply fantastic. The soup is rich with herbal flavors, while the tender pork ribs fall off the bone effortlessly. If you’re into braised meats, their Braised Pork Knuckle is a winner. It’s savory and melts in your mouth, paired perfectly with a bowl of rice. Another great find is Mr Mee Pok. This stall specializes in Teochew-style noodle dishes, and their Mee Pok is one of the best around. The noodles have the right amount of chewiness, and they’re tossed in a delicious mix of vinegar, chili, and other seasonings. The accompanying fishballs and minced pork add a satisfying bite to the meal. It’s a simple yet flavorful dish that keeps you coming back for more. Aside from these two stalls, there’s always something new to try at ABC Brickworks. The variety is endless, and the prices are really reasonable, which makes it easy to indulge without breaking the bank.

Located in the heart of Bukit Merah, this food centre is a treasure trove of local delicacies that offer an authentic taste of Singapore at affordable prices. One of the standout dishes for me is the Hakka Lei Cha. The complex flavors and textures make every bite a delight, and it’s a dish that feels both healthy and satisfying. Another favorite is the Japanese Curry Rice. The tender pieces of meat, soft potatoes, and carrots in a rich, mildly spicy curry sauce poured over fluffy white rice create a perfect harmony of flavors that is hard to resist. For a taste of fusion, the Curry Laksa, Nasi Lemak and traditional Malay snacks are a must-try.

Nestled in the heart of Bukit Merah, ABC Brickworks Food Centre has become my favorite breakfast spot in the city.

Equally enticing is the porridge stall, which offers comforting bowls of congee that warm the soul. Beyond these two stalls, ABC Brickworks boasts an array of other culinary delights.

Hong Sheng Fish Soup has several branches in Singapore. They serve nice fish soup, spinach soup (SGD4/5/6) and a new menu “pao fan” (SGD5/7/12). I like their sliced fish more than fried fish. Fried fish soup is a bit salty to me. “Pao fan" literally translated as submerged rice, is a soupy dish that looks like Teochew porridge, savory concoction of white rice, seafood broth, topped with clams, sliced fish, minced meatballs, and bitter gourd. I quite like it. They also serve Pig Trotter Vinegar. The portion is pretty generous. Address: 6 Jalan Bukit Merah, #01-03, ABC Brickworks Food Centre, Singapore 150006 Avg.

Project Penyet has increased the price of their signature Nasi Ayam Penyek from SGD5.50 to SGD6.50, it seems that it does affect the business slightly.
