2-storey Margaret Drive Hawker Centre opens on 1 Aug 2022

I made my approach all the way down to the newly-opened Margaret Drive Hawker Centre on a dismal Tuesday afternoon. It opened to the general public simply yesterday on 1 August 2022. Only a stone’s throw away from Queenstown MRT, I took exit C and I wanted nearly a five-minute stroll to get there.

For these individuals who know me, I’m actually quick for a man. As I approached the facade of the Margaret Drive Hawker Centre, I needed to tilt my head actually excessive as much as admire this model new two-storey hawker centre. It’s situated simply in entrance of the towering SkyResidence @ Dawson.

I headed instantly to the second ground which has 22 stalls, and observed that there was a linkway that connects Margaret Drive Hawker Centre with [email protected] The hawker centre options excessive ceilings and followers, and enough air flow in every single place. The chilly air coming from the mini drizzle outdoors permeated the area— I felt as if there was air-conditioning there.

Now for crucial query, what’s there to eat over there? As a consequence of the truth that it was solely the second day, many of the stalls had their shutters down, and a few have been organising and prepping their stalls for opening. The primary storey of Margaret Drive had 16 stalls in whole. Listed here are a few of the stalls I’d noticed:

The one two stalls that have been opened and had queues have been Ichigo Cottage By Tea Cottage (#01-25) and Sin Kee Cantonese Type Soya Sauce Rooster (#01-30).

Ichigo Cottage By Tea Cottage is a beverage stall that includes conventional espresso and tea like Iced Kopi (S$1.80), premium coffees like Scorching Latte (S$3.50) and premium teas like Iced Taiwan Excessive Mountain Milk Oolong (S$3) and Iced Uji Matcha Latte (S$4).

Sin Kee Cantonese Type Soya Sauce Rooster has the identical title because the well-known outdated Margaret Drive rooster rice, however gives completely different objects like Soya Sauce Rooster in addition to Curry Rooster Rice/Noodles over right here.

I noticed a number of stalls that have been both not prepared for operations but or took a break to prepare for dinner service— it was 2.30pm anyway. Most of them have been initially from Tanglin Halt Meals Centre, which halted operations final month. Tong Kee Rooster Rice (#01-36) is well-known for his or her Roasted Rooster Rice. Queenstown Lontong (#01-27) sells scrumptious Mee Rebus, Lontong and Mee Soto.

The well-known Hakka Thunder Tea (#02-34), which was extremely popular at Tanglin Halt Meals Centre has moved to the second ground of Margaret Drive Hawker Centre. I reckon they won’t be prepared at the very least until subsequent week as minor building work was nonetheless happening inside the stall. DJ Satay Grill (#02-22) sells Rooster Satay, Mutton Satay and Beef Satay (S$0.90 every for all) in addition to Fish Otah (S$0.70 per piece).

Different stalls that I noticed after I walked round have been Tanglin Halt Ruyi Vegetarian (#02-36), Xin’s Tzechar (#01-31), Chef Oh Kee Hainanese Western Meals (#01-32), Nor Nasi Ala Kampung (#01-26), Lontong Sedap (#01-25), Alimah’s Kitchen (#02-26) and Farokh & Nisa Household Meals (#02-25).

I’ll give Margaret Drive Hawker Centre a further week or two for issues to get working, and hopefully I’ll see a livelier scene the subsequent time I return.
