Old Airport Road Food Centre, Singapore

Old Airport Road Food Centre (7 July 2011)

Old Airport Road Food Centre (GPS: 1.30824, 103.88582) is one of the older hawker centres in Singapore. The two storey hawker centre in Geylang was built in 1973. Since its early days, the ground floor is devoted to food stalls while the upper floor is occupied by stalls selling garments, watches and household necessities.

I remember visiting this hawker centre for the first time in 1978 with my eldest brother, when we went to Singapore for the Billy Graham evangelistic campaign. Since then, I have been back in 2011 and 2017.

2017 Visit

On my 2017 visit to Singapore, I happened to stay at a friend's apartment at Dakota Crescent, so the Old Airport Road Food Centre is a convenient place for me to find food. I visited it a number of times during this visit.

After my meal, I went to the upper floor of the complex. The last time I went up there was in 1978, which is thirty-nine years ago. It brings back memories of a time when I was much younger, but the stalls have not changed much in terms of merchandise. Basically, it's just cheap everyday items such as slippers and umbrellas. Take a look.
