Hawker Food

Admittedly, the lack of air con, stark strip lights and plastic plates aren’t for everyone, but it really is the best way to sample Singapore’s superb makan. Remember to take a moist towelette as there are never any damn napkins. Lau Pa Sat / junction of Robinson Rd & Boon Tat St / is a Victorian cast iron carousel and the prettiest, ergo very touristy; Maxwell Food Centre / Kadayanallur St / is well situ’d for pre/post Club St shenanigans, while Chinatown Complex / 335 Smith St / is verrry basic but good food. Our pick for sand and sea views is East Coast Lagoon Food Village / 1220 East Coast Parkway. Rock up, order and dig in.
