Albert Centre (GPS: 1.30106, 103.85399) is a complex comprising a market and a food court. Located off Queen Street, Albert Centre was first opened in 1980. It underwent refurbishing in the mid 2008 and reopened in late 2009.
Albert Centre is popular with the locals living in the surrounding areas, due to its big hawker centre offering a large variety of hawker fare. It also gets spillover traffic from New Bugis Street, the Bugis+ Shopping Mall, Fu Lu Shou Complex and Bugis Junction. From my own experience, the hawker fare at Albert Centre can just be described as "so so", as I have yet to discover anything that I really like.
Separating Albert Centre from Fu Lu Shou Complex is Albert Street. Here, you find the Albert Mall Trishaw Park, where trishaw paddlers congregate.
Getting there
Take the East-West Line to the Bugis MRT Station (EW12). Exit the station at Exit C. Cross Victoria Street and continue along Rochor Road until junction with Queen Street. Albert Centre is to the left of Fu Lu Shou Complex.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
