What people say, in short
Tiong Bahru Market draws recommendations for breakfast, brunch and lunch, with diners praising its spacious, airy setting and the market beneath the food centre. A visitor prefers its food quality to Lau Pa Sat, while others see it as a comfortable introduction to local hawker food. One diner cautions that the range does not cover every dish, citing satay and Malay food as gaps. Another advises lunch rather than dinner because stalls may sell out or not open in the evening.
