The area has dozens of restaurants and food stalls, serving local favourites such as Hokkien Mee , BBQ Fish , '' Assam Laksa '' and Curry Noodles .

Recently, there have been complaints that the traders here are particularly rude against customers. There have been calls to shut the area down completely due to its reputation but the suggestion was ill-received. (The Star)
