It may be a tourist trap hawker centre, but the view is great, there's just enough seating, and of course, the location is super convenient if you're already at one of the many nice hotels right in the heart of Marina Bay. The selection is good, the stalls are quick, efficient, and tasty, and yes, there are fans and umbrellas at the tables so you don't die from the heat. As someone who is often right in the area and wants to hit a hawker stall without having a 20 minute-plus trek downstairs to the subway or bus to some of the better centres... and is tired of mall food (to be fair, many mall food courts here are delicious!), this one is still plenty tasty enough for bak kut teh, and it feels more than authentic enough.

Back in 2019, our first evening ended here at this hawker center. We got here around 10pm and I was surprised on how many people were there late at night eating food. They had lots of choices of food to choose from. It was kinda of hard decide what to get since everything sounded so good. I ended up trying the oyster omelette. We also ended up getting some other dishes like the chili crab. The food here is really good. Good food for late night meal.

This hawker center has an amazing view of marina bay sands. Lots of choices here with great food. I recommend bringing cash because some of the ones that accept credit card seem to have issues with the machines, save yourself the time of having to walk to ATM in mall next door. I recommend the fresh juice stall to get you started, then make your way through the different stalls getting some satay and other dishes. Now keep in mind this is a more upscale version of the typical hawker center, but it does a good job of not making it feel fake. Lots of seating here or you can go eat by the water and enjoy the great views!

This hawker center is located right next (or behind) a very trendy area. When we first arrived here on our first night after walking around Gardens by the bay, at first we almost missed this place because they weren't quite opened yet and there is also a very trendy/high end eating court right before the entrance. When you find it though it feels like you are in a other part of town. Though this hawker center is smaller than other centers around town, there are so many good stalls with so many varieties of cuisines ranging from sweet to savoury and even an exclusive drinks stall. We had ordered from 4 stalls and spend only $20 cad which was well worth it. I recommend trying all of the stalls based on the type of food you are craving. However I would specifically recommend the fresh juice stall located at the very end. It's about $1 per drink but it's very refreshing in the heat

After a fun time at Gardens by the Bay we walked across the Helix Bridge to Makansutra Glutton Bay! Why? Because I wanted some chili and black pepper crab! What kind of foodie am I to travel to Singapore and not eat their staple dish! This area have a few hawker stands aligned, not the biggest hawker center but good enough! Tables are hard to come by if you don't get there early, good thing we didn't have that problem! Each stall offers something different but what caught my eyes was the crab and satay stall! You have the option of picking what size crab you want and how you want it. I got black pepper crab, chili crab and pineapple fried rice topped with floss! Just a fun fact! The crabs in Singapore that they use for these dishes are the Sri Lanka crabs which resembles a Dungeness crab but more sweet and firm! The satay was amazing! Don't forget to get a refreshing Tiger beer with your meal and pack wet wipes for your hands! You're going to need it! CHEERS!

This place is a good introduction to hawker centers of Singapore. Now if you're a local reading this, don't murder me or worse downvote me, BUT for tourists this is a great place: Great location Limited selection (yes that can be a good thing) Always packed (so you can see popular choices by discretely starring at peoples food) Prices higher, but still cheap for tourists Better than overpriced drinking Esplanade pubs Black and White Carrot Cake - my favorite white after Lau Pa Sat hawker center Great for people watching

With no more than ten vendors, Makansutra Gluttons Bay is one of the smaller hawker centers in Singapore. Food variety is more limited here, so choices aren't overwhelming. It gets very crowded around 7pm, so finding a seat may be challenging. And because it's adjacent to Marina Bay and a few shopping centers, it's very touristy. There was quite a plethora of food shared among three adults: steamed conch, BBQ sambal stingray, gai lan, shrimp hokkien mee, beef and chicken satay, and tahu goreng. For me, the satay and the stingray struck me as the most delicious and interesting, respectively. The beef and chicken satay were delicious and smokey with very tender and moist meat. The complementing dipping sauce for the satay wasn't necessary, but it added extra tangy and sweet flavors. The BBQ sambal stingray was peculiar and a little difficult to eat while trying to neatly remove the flesh away from the bones, but the generous slather of spicy sambal paste was flavorful. Overall, I was more than satisfied with the food and environment. Situated next to Marina Bay, Makansutra provides a mild breeze from the bay with beautiful waterfront views. The location is perfect for a gluttonous dinner and then a stroll along the waterfront afterwards. And this hawker center is open from 5pm until as late as 3am in the morning! I can understand why some people are disappointed with the small size and limited variety here at Makansutra, but my motto is less is more. Too many options tend to be overwhelming in my book.

At first glance Gluttons Bay is just another "tourist trap", and some would liken it to another Newton Circus. In truth, I prefer Gluttons Bay a lot more than Newton Circus, and would definitely recommend it to my tourist friends! The view here is fantastic, look out to Marina Bay Sands, Esplanade, and Fullerton Hotel. Open air dining, cool breeze and not too stuffy. What is there not to like? It is a great place to show off Singapore's pretty skyline to your tourist friends! In terms of price, I'd say it is pretty fair for eating in town. Definitely dont compare it to your local hawker centre/ coffee shop prices, but I do find the prices reasonable for the portions, quality and location. Food quality is pretty decent and fairly authentic too. How better to experience the best of Singapore's local cuisines. They may not be from the "best" hawker, but they are definitely authentic and good enough for tourists to get a good taste. I also like how the hawker stalls dont come around the harrass you to order from them (like in Newton Circus). Definitely recommended!
