Singapore Hawker Centres - People, Places,
Food
Where did roti john originate? Where can you find rare
foods like rickshaw noodles? How much do you really know about
Singapore's much loved culinary icon - the hawker
centre?
Briyani, thosai, chilli crab, roti prata, chicken rice and satay,
the Singaporean-ness of hawker centres is palpable. Nowhere else on
the island (or in the world) will 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 clang of woks.
