The hawker center on Adam Road is among the very best in Singapore. Although a lot smaller than its counterparts across the country, this food center located in the posh neighborhood of Newton and Bukit Timah is popular among the rich and famous—actress Joan Chen, local politicians and even the Brunei royal family have all been spotted there. And on any given day, the sheer number of Beemers and Mercs parked outside clues you in to the clientele. Its slightly off the beaten track location notwithstanding, the main draw that keeps the privileged class coming back is the excellent fare.

Here we pick out some of the best stalls at Adam Road Hawker Centre.
