Description

True Singaporeans know that hawker centres are where the local flavour is found, literally and figuratively. From biryani to tosai, chilli crab to roti prata, chicken rice to satay, the Singaporeanness of hawker centres is palpable. Nowhere else can you find such an eclectic array of food as it was meant to be enjoyed: in a natural open-air atmosphere, among friends and family, with the sizzle of hot pans and the sweat of the cook as he prepares your favourite dish just so. Yet hawker centres are more than just eating places. They are part of Singapore's history and heritage. It has been a long time since the rhythmic tok-tok of the roving noodle seller was last heard. The mobility is gone, but the dynamism of hawking is far from dead.
