Satay by the Bay

Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


Gardens by the Bay's own hawker centre has an enviable location, alongside Marina Bay and far from the roar of city traffic. Especially evocative at night, it's known for its satay, best devoured under open skies on the spacious wooden deck. The bulk of the food stalls are open 11am to 10.30pm.

As you'd expect, prices are a little higher than at more local hawker centres, with most dishes costing S$8 to S$11.
