Changi Village food places
When people think of Changi, the airport usually comes to mind. But many of us forget that it’s also home to a variety of good food. From tasty, old-school hawker fare, to affordable cafes and restaurants, you’ll be spoiled for choice in the area. So here are 15 Changi Village food places that you can consider trying on your next trip to the East.
1. Changi Village Carrot Cake

I’m an absolute sucker for carrot cake, so this entry should come as no surprise. Changi Village Carrot Cake only serves Black Carrot Cake ($3/$4/$5) instead of the white version I prefer, but that doesn’t mean I’d give the store a pass when I’m in the area. The uncle running the stall has managed to perfect the art of making black carrot cake after over 30 years of hard work.
Interestingly, he adds the egg after frying the radish cubes in soya sauce, resulting in a black carrot cake that is a little lighter in colour than usual, but still bursting with savoury-sweet flavour and packing a spicy kick from the added chilli. Good news for chye poh fans, each plate of this carrot cake comes filled with the ingredient.
Address: 2 Changi Village Road, #01-13, Changi Village Hawker Centre, Singapore 500002
Opening hours: Tue-Thurs 7am to 3pm, Sat-Sun 7am to 3pm

2. Mizzy’s Corner Nasi Lemak

Changi Village Food Centre is a common rest-stop for people taking the ferry to Pulau Ubin, but its other claim to fame is being the spot for nasi lemak in Singapore. One of the stalls upholding the hawker centre’s reputation is Mizzy Corner Nasi Lemak, serving up plates of Nasi Lemak with a quality that has stayed consistent since it opened in 1997. Their six Nasi Lemak Sets start from a wallet-friendly $3.50, featuring their signature coconut-infused basmati rice. They also have a Surprise Me Set for the adventurous, which gets you a random dish of their choice for just $5.

3. Woon Woon Pek Beehoon
For a dish that will soothe the soul and the stomach, head to Woon Woon Pek Beehoon. They may be famous for their impressive Seafood Platter ($35) which is a giant plate of fish prawn crayfish and lala, but their regular portions are just as satisfying for an everyday meal.
Their Lala Slice Fish White Beehoon ($5) has a generous serving of white beehoon that has been cooked in a rich, seafood stock. The stewed cabbage, clams and sliced fish add even more sweetness to this otherwise savoury dish. Each plate comes topped with deep-fried pork lard for that extra crunch.

4. International Muslim Food Stall

Also known as International Nasi Lemak, International Muslim Food Stall was once known as the king of nasi lemak in Changi Village in the 90s, though some say Mizzy’s Corner has snatched the title since then. Still, you can expect super sedap Nasi Lemak for $3.50, with fluffy coconut milk-infused rice, sliced cucumbers, a fried egg, sambal chilli, and tender, juicy chicken fried for a crisp golden-brown skin. The hawkers are up as early as 1:30am everyday to make their signature sambal chilli sauce, which is a spicy and aromatic affair that has fans coming back for more.
