Hawker centres are a haven for cheap and good food, but a new photo series aims to encourage and satisfy a different kind of hunger - for their architectural features.
These range from Tampines Round Market and Food Centre s circular roof to Pasir Ris Hawker Centre s wave-like metal facade. The online series by the National Heritage Board (NHB), titled Our Hawker Culture: Built For Great Taste, covers 12 hawker centres with more than 100 photos by four local photographers: Fabian Ong, Rebecca Toh, Khoo Guo Jie and Lee Yik Keat.
