Tekka Centre
The anchor hawker complex for the district, with a strong wet market attached — a good first stop to get oriented before exploring the surrounding streets.
Banana-leaf rice
Rice served on a banana leaf with a rotating selection of vegetable and meat curries, traditionally eaten by hand — one of the most filling, best-value meals in the city.
Roti prata
Several of the area's prata shops run 24 hours — a reliable option whatever time you land in the neighbourhood.
