Frequently Asked Questions
Are Most Singapore Noodle Stalls Inside Hawker Centres?
Yes — most of the 10 stalls featured here are individual stalls inside hawker centres or wet markets. Operating hours vary from stall to stall, so it’s worth checking each one’s listing before visiting, especially since some open only for a few hours a day.
Is There a Michelin-Starred Noodle Stall?
Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle is the only bak chor mee (minced pork noodle) stall in Singapore to hold a Michelin star. It has become one of the most famous examples of a hawker stall earning global recognition since Michelin stars were first awarded to hawker food in 2016.
Is There a 24-Hour Noodle Stall?
Shan Yuan Handmade Fish Ball Noodles is open 24 hours from Monday to Saturday, and from 0:00 to 20:00 on Sundays (as of August 2026). This makes it a reliable option if you need noodles outside typical meal hours.

Can Opening Hours Change on the Day?
Because these are individual hawker stalls rather than full restaurants, hours can change from what’s listed here. Always check the stall’s individual listing page shortly before you visit, especially for stalls with short or irregular operating windows.
Summary
Singapore’s local noodle stalls are spread across four areas: Chinatown, Bugis/Kampong Glam, Tiong Bahru, and other pockets slightly outside the city centre. From the Michelin-starred Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, to the 24-hour Shan Yuan Handmade Fish Ball Noodles, to the century-old 545 Whampoa Prawn Noodles, each stall differs in hours and suitable scenarios. Match your choice to your area and travel companions, and confirm the address and hours before you go.
