Hawker food centres

No trip to Singapore should be without eating Singapore's renowned hawker food - cooked and eaten in a casual setting. Hawker food is characterized by being tasty and cheap and can be Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai, whatever.

The hawkers sell their food in a stall or off a cart in one of the city's dozen-plus hawker food centres (which can be outdoor or indoor). You eat at a simple bare table set in front of the hawker's venue. The atmosphere is best at night.
