Speciality otah stall at Old Airport Road Food Centre with handmade spiced fish paste.
Tan Beng Otah Delights is a specialist stall at Old Airport Road Food Centre, dedicated to the traditional Nonya snack of otah otah. The stall produces handmade fish paste seasoned with a fragrant blend of spices including turmeric, lemongrass, and chilli, wrapped in banana leaves and grilled over charcoal. Each piece emerges smoky, spicy, and aromatic, with a soft, springy texture that distinguishes freshly made otah from mass-produced versions. Tan Beng is known among locals for its authentic preparation and robust flavours, reflecting the Peranakan culinary tradition from which otah originates. The stall also offers other Nonya kueh and snacks, though the otah remains the star attraction. Old Airport Road Food Centre is widely regarded as one of Singapore's best hawker centres, and Tan Beng Otah Delights contributes to that reputation with its commitment to quality and tradition.Based on 37 Google reviews

Freshly made on the spot, very nicely charcoal grilled with the lovely smoky smell and perfect cook. Easily can have 10 for myself!

This is one thing not to be missed in this food centre. The aroma of grilled otah can be detected from a distance. It is handmade at the stall, and unlike the usually springy ones that feels fish-cake like, this one is very soft and feels like eating minced fish.

Highly recommend for the old school otah, large one selling at $1.2 each and I loved the otah flavor. Uncle make sure the otah is slightly char to give it a smokey taste. Loved it surely will come back for more. The market is usually very pack in the morning so be prepared to queue for 15 mins or more.
