Hawker Centres
Yes... that's the place to eat Singaporean style. Undoubtedly, eating out in Singapore isn’t complete without a visit to a hawker centre – a collection of individual stalls selling food at very reasonable prices, in an open-air arrangement. This no-frills experience that’s common in Singapore and unique in Asia is probably the best way to sample some of Singapore’s yummiest perennial local favorites.
