Teck Ghee Court Market & Food Centre will shut for 60-day renovation
From 2 May to 30 Jun 2025, Ang Mo Kio residents, especially those living in blocks starting with the number '3', will have one less makan place, as Teck Ghee Court Market & Food Centre will be closed for Repair & Redecoration (R&R) works.
Established back in the late 1970s, this market and hawker centre has managed to preserve much of its nostalgic, old-school charm through the decades. In the mornings, the atmosphere comes alive with the bustling energy of the breakfast crowd and elderly folks buying their ingredients at the wet market.
However, as the afternoon creeps in, many of the stalls begin pulling down their shutters, leaving behind only a handful still operating during dinnertime.
When the hawker centre reopens on 1 Jul 2025, patrons and stall owners (mustn't forget them) can look forward to upgraded facilities such as new tables, new fans for improved ventilation, and spanking-new tiles.
One of the popular stalls there during breakfast is Belinda's Pancake, specialising in min jiang kueh (stuffed pancakes), peanut cones and the uncommon puttu mayam.
Aunty Belinda (the owner) is using this 2-month break to renovate her home and take a vacation with her family. She isn't sure if rental will go up, but is crossing her fingers that it doesn't.
Another popular stall there is Eng Kee Bak Kut Teh 永記肉骨茶, which also has a restaurant located along Havelock Road. It serves the Singaporean peppery version of (S$8), and supposedly one of the best Pig's Trotters (S$8) on our shores.
Fortunately, those staying in Ang Mo Kio have other hawker centres to visit such as , 409 AMK Market & Food Centre, , and more.
You can also visit Phuket Town Mookata for a delectable bowl of tom yum Mama noodles.

Jail, caning for Singapore man who extorted girl, 16, after she withdrew from ‘sugar daddy' deal
SINGAPORE, June 2 — A man who extorted a 16-year-old girl by falsely claiming he was taking legal action against her after she backed out of a 'sugar daddy' arrangement was sentenced to jail and caning on Monday. Marc Justine Landrio Chandramohan, 27, was handed a jail term of two years, 11 months and 10 weeks, and three strokes of the cane, according to a report published in Channel News Asia today. He will begin serving his sentence on Friday after being granted a few days to settle his debts. The Singaporean had earlier pleaded guilty to seven charges, including communicating with a minor to obtain commercial sex, abetting the distribution of obscene images and videos, extortion, cheating, making obscene films, and abetting unauthorised access to a computer function. Another nine charges — mostly linked to making obscene films — were taken into consideration for sentencing by Principal District Judge Victor Yeo Khee Eng. Three victims were involved in the case, including the girl who was extorted. Two others were filmed by Chandramohan during sex acts. Their identities are protected by a gag order. Judge Yeo noted Chandramohan's 'premeditated and predatory behaviour', saying he preyed on a young and naive victim and continued to pressure her for sex and money even though she owed him 'absolutely nothing'. The victim's relationship with her family was affected, and she reported feeling that her body was 'dirty', becoming sensitive to physical touch and panicking when she saw someone who resembled Chandramohan. Yeo said deterrence was the predominant sentencing consideration, both for the accused and for would-be offenders. He acknowledged Chandramohan's remorse and readiness to face punishment. The court previously heard that Chandramohan began chatting with the victim on Instagram in July 2021, proposing to pay her S$900 (RM2,980) for sexual favours. She initially agreed and sent him four nude or semi-nude photos and a video of herself removing her school uniform at his instruction. Chandramohan transferred S$100 to her on July 24, 2021. The victim later regretted the arrangement, told him she wanted to back out, and blocked him on social media. He then began harassing her over the money, using new Instagram accounts to contact her and threatening legal action. Despite a friend repaying the S$100 on her behalf, Chandramohan continued demanding sexual favours. In early 2022, the girl gave in and performed a sex act. Chandramohan then pretended legal proceedings were still ongoing and demanded S$1,350 — allegedly half of his lawyer's fee. He also suggested resuming the original sexual arrangement. The victim later confided in friends, who warned her he was likely lying. She lodged a police report. In a separate offence in 2023, Chandramohan opened a Standard Chartered bank account and handed control of it to a friend in exchange for S$330. Over S$304,000 flowed through the account. He was fined S$330 over this offence. Extortion carries a sentence of two to seven years in jail and caning. Communicating with a minor to obtain sexual services carries a maximum jail term of two years, a fine, or both.
