Best Hawker Stall in City Core & Central, Singapore

For hawker food in City Core & Central 328 Katong Laksa is the pick we could verify with a confirmed WhatsApp ordering channel — over 27 years running and a Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient, rather than an unverifiable stall listing.

Quick answer

328 Katong Laksa on East Coast Road is the verified pick for hawker food in City Core & Central Singapore — a Michelin Bib Gourmand-listed laksa stall with over 27 years of history, confirmed WhatsApp ordering, and celebrity visits including Gordon Ramsay.

How we picked

We only included a stall if we could confirm a direct email or an explicit WhatsApp ordering channel — most hawker stalls in the zone are walk-in only, so we prioritised one with a genuinely confirmed, business-stated WhatsApp number.
