Newton Food Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Newton Food Centre (纽顿熟食中心) is a major food centre in Singapore. Promoted by the Singapore Tourism Board as a tourist attraction for sampling Singaporean cuisine, the food centre went through a recent renovation before reopening on 1 July 2006.
However, the food sellers at Newton Food Centre are often criticised by locals, mainly for overpricing and mediocre food quality. The food centre is particularly infamous for incessant touting and harassment of customers by over-zealous stall owners[1][2].
