What people say, in short
Amoy Street Food Centre draws recommendations for its variety, with one diner praising its unusually strong collection of stalls and another highlighting less familiar offerings. Fish soup, lor mee and curry chicken noodles feature in centre-level recommendations; another diner suggests ayam penyet and dumpling noodles. Timing is the main disagreement: a contributor recommends a weekday meal, while others caution that lunch queues are intense and stalls close in the evening or at weekends. Diners suggest arriving before the lunch peak.
