Maxwell Food Centre, a market since 1928, hosts the famous Tian Tian Hainanese chicken rice; Lau Pa Sat, a colonial-era cast-iron hall, gathers Michelin-mentioned brands and a satay street at night. Old Airport Road Food Centre packs 150-plus stalls of char kway teow and Hokkien mee. Laksa, satay and chilli crab anchor it all.
