Maxwell Food Centre stall serving classic Singapore rojak, popiah, and cockles.
Rojak, Popiah & Cockle is a Maxwell Food Centre fixture offering three beloved Singaporean street-food items from a single stall. The rojak combines fresh fruits and vegetables with you tiao and toasted peanuts in a pungent, sweet fermented-prawn paste. Popiah rolls are assembled to order, packed with stewed turnip, lettuce, and crispy bits. A portion of fresh cockles, blanched and tossed in a tangy chilli dip, rounds out the trio. Together, the three dishes represent the multicultural hawker heritage that Maxwell Food Centre is known for.Operating Hours

I visited this stall at Maxwell and ordered two items: Popiah and Cockles. First, the Popiah: It was perfectly normal. Honestly, I had braced myself for disappointment, but it didn't fail me. That said, it was just a very standard, average popiah—decent and satisfying enough, but nothing exceptional to write home about. However, the Cockles were a massive letdown and extremely concerning. We paid $10 for the plate, and they were clearly not fresh. Many of the cockles had an awful, shitty, muddy smell that immediately turned us off. Furthermore, you could see on the shells that they had not been properly washed or cleaned before being cooked and served. Due to the quality and the bad smell, we had to throw away almost half the portion. Serving seafood this unclean is unacceptable. I am genuinely worried about having a stomach ache after eating the few we tried. I hope the stall takes action to ensure their ingredients are fresh and properly prepared, especially for items like cockles.

Came here for dinner with a friend. Things were initially looking good because of the long queue at the stall.

I tried the popiah here for the first time and really enjoyed it. The flavours were surprisingly complex and well balanced, with a mix of sweet, savoury, and slightly tangy notes coming together beautifully. The filling was fresh and full of texture, wrapped in a thin, soft crepe that made it light yet satisfying. I’d happily return to just for this dish.

The popiah is delicious. I’m usually not the type to venture into new foods that I’m not familiar with. A friend bought it and I tried it and thought it was actually really good.
Ang Aminah
A delight. This stall prepared rojak and popiah fresh after order. Be careful their chilli packs a punch
