A New Food Hall Just Dropped in Tanjong Pagar — And It's Stacked
If you've ever wished you could eat your way through Singapore's best hawker legends and Michelin-starred stalls without hopping between five different neighbourhoods, Hawkers' Street just made that dream ridiculously easy. The food hall concept is planting its latest flag at 100AM Mall along Tras Street, bringing five Michelin-recognised brands and a roster of heritage hawkers together under one air-conditioned roof. Doors are expected to swing open by May 2026, and the Tanjong Pagar lunch crowd is about to get a serious upgrade.
The Lineup: Five Michelin Names and Hawker Royalty
This isn't another generic food court slapping "artisan" on everything. Hawkers' Street has pulled together a genuinely impressive cast of vendors, headlined by names that food obsessives will recognise instantly. Tai Wah Pork Noodles — the Hill Street legend that earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand and regularly commands 45-minute queues at its Crawford Lane stall — is confirmed as one of the anchor tenants. Their springy bak chor mee with chilli-vinegar kick has been a national treasure for decades, and now CBD workers can get their fix without the cross-island trek.
Joining the roster is Wok Hei Hor Fun, whose charcoal-kissed flat noodles have developed a cult following for that elusive smoky breath-of-the-wok flavour that most hawkers can't replicate. Hill Street Hainanese Curry Rice, another heritage name, rounds out the confirmed vendors with their old-school curry rice drenched in that signature pork chop gravy. Additional Michelin-recognised stalls are expected to be announced closer to opening, with the total count hitting at least five starred or Bib Gourmand brands alongside several veteran hawker operators.
- Confirmed vendor: Tai Wah Pork Noodles — bak chor mee from around $5-7
- Confirmed vendor: Wok Hei Hor Fun — smoky charcoal hor fun
- Confirmed vendor: Hill Street Hainanese Curry Rice — classic mixed curry rice plates
- Expected price range: $5-15 per dish
Why Tras Street Makes Perfect Sense
The choice of 100AM Mall is strategic. Tras Street sits right in the beating heart of Tanjong Pagar's office district, surrounded by thousands of workers who currently battle for seats at the area's limited hawker options during peak lunch hour. The mall itself has been quietly repositioning with more food-forward tenants, and Hawkers' Street will give it a serious draw. It's also a short walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT, making it accessible for weekend visitors who want to eat well without the tourist-trap prices of nearby Amoy Street or the crowds at Maxwell Food Centre just up the road.
The Hawkers' Street concept has been gaining traction by doing something simple but effective — curating proven hawker talent into modern, comfortable spaces while keeping prices firmly in hawker territory. No $18 bowls of laksa here. The format works because it respects what makes hawker food great in the first place: affordability, quality, and heritage recipes passed down through generations.

The Verdict
This is shaping up to be one of the strongest food hall openings of the year. Five Michelin-linked brands sharing space with heritage hawkers, all at hawker prices, in an air-conditioned mall next to an MRT station — that's a hard combination to argue with. If you work in Tanjong Pagar, clear your lunch calendar for May. If you don't, it's worth the trip. We'll be first in line for that Tai Wah bak chor mee.
