Singapore’s hawker culture, which has now been added to the Unesco Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is always worth celebrating. That is why The Fullerton Hotel Singapore has debuted ‘Past Meets Future’, a series of monthly pop-ups which puts the spotlight on some of the island’s most notable young hawkers.
The pop-up collaboration, which runs until August, kicks off with four participating hawkers Eat 3 Cuts, Authentic Hock Lam Street Popular Beef Kway Teow, Kway Guan Huat Joo Chiat Popiah and Tree Coconut Nasi Lemak. Their signature dishes will be part of the restaurant’s freeflow Dinner Feast on Fridays and Saturdays; it’s an á la carte buffet that also includes an array of fresh seafood, Asian and Western fare and freshly-cooked dishes served directly to the table.
