Hawker Culture

Hawker Centers are to Singapore what Bangkok’s famed street food is to Thailand. Hawkers are essentially market stalls of all kinds found in huge collective food and drink courts. They are everywhere in Singapore and serve some of the freshest, authentic food in Singapore at very reasonable prices. Most of the food is flash-fried before your eyes, which makes eating out a bit more of an experience as you can watch the experts work right in front of you. Each stall usually sells just one dish from a family recipe that has been honed over time and through cultural influences, something that gives Singaporean cuisine an exciting edge.
