Mr Jason Lim, who owns four stalls at Jurong Fishery Port, said customers trickled in and out throughout the morning, but in smaller numbers.
You ll know you re getting closer to one of Singapore s many hawker centres long before you actually arrive. That s because the delicious aromas wafting on the sub-tropical breeze will be of crab, chicken, rice and noodles. We realise it s been a while but let us refresh your memories: hawker centres are those open-air eateries pivotal to life in Singapore, a diverse collection of street food stalls where savvy locals grab quick, delicious and low-cost meals. So ubiquitous are hawker centres that you re never far from one in the Lion City – latest figures show there are a whopping 6000 stalls dotted around more than 110 hawker centres. In fact, so essential is Singapore s hawker culture that it has officially been added to the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage.
