Toa Payoh public library community wall. I created a food trail with my classmates as part of a school assignment (graded). We went to all six haweker centers in Toa Payoh (the ones on the library board) and each member chose a favorite dish. It was difficult to choose my favorite dish because there was so many delicious dishes to choose from and my classmate chose my favorite dish first. (chicken rice)

I feel that we can make short clips and show them on large screens in MRT stations or changi airport to spread awareness. We could also put up posters describing specific local food at notice boards which are located at tourist attractions. In addition, we can organise local tours with trivia quizzes to let people learn more about hawker culture

It was the first time I went to the hawker centre at my new house, Adam food court, with my friends. It was the first time I tried out Laksa. I really like the spicy taste of the food. I also tried out Bandung for the first time. The sweet taste and pink shade of the drink left a significant memory in me.

My favourite memory is that one time when my parents brought me to Bukit Timah Hawker Centre to eat some seafood after tuition. The food was so good that from then on I always want to go back and eat the seafood.

I think that there could be some short shows (on YouTube maybe) where someone goes around to interview hawkers asking them about their stall, in a very variety show kind of way. You can also get the diners to participate in quizzes for the video to test their knowledge on hawker cukture

thank you hawkers, for providing such yummy meals, at great prices that cater to so many people, young and old. I admire the perseverance you have in your trade, especially in this economy with covid. I hope things will get better for you. I will continue supporting y’all!!

This is one of my favourite hawker centers and i really enjoy coming here because of all the options there is for my indecisive personality. Because of its personality me and my family would always have to split up to find seats. That is one of my favourite memories because it is also very special to see the friendliness of other diners when they offer their seat when they’ve finished their meal.

My favourite hawker food memory was buying chicken rice from the hawker center located opposite my house. Every weekend, my family and I would go to the hawker center and have our lunch there.

I feel that there can be some games open to the public which is related to hawker culture for example a quiz about hawker culture or a treasure hunt to let people explore different hawker centres and understand more about hawker culture.

Thank you hawkers for preparing the different food for us that also represents harmony among the different races! The food that you prepared allows the different races in Singapore to understand each other better. Thank you!

My favourite food is Nasi Lemak because we get to choose the dishes we want to eat and the dishes represent the different races in Singapore. You can have as many dishes as you want, and enjoy the taste of the different dish. It is just like the different races in Singapore, they share their unique culture with each other, hence they can understand each other better.

My favourite hawker food memory is at clementi 448 market and food centre. Whenever I go there for piano lessons or training at clementi sport hall last time, I would always buy the duck rice there for lunch. It is very delicious and my family and I really like it a lot. The hawkers are also very kind and friendly.

I think that in order to promote hawker culture,  we can paste posters at HDB void decks or in the lifts so that more people would realise the importance of spreading hawker culture. Not only that, we can also give out vouchers to the locals for them to buy food with. This will encourage the locals to go to hawker centres to use these vouchers and hence, spread hawker culture to the locals.

I remember when I was in primary 1 when it was the first time I went to East Coast lagoon hawker centre. I remembered the sounds and the smells of the satay. This hawker centre is one of my favourite hawker centres in Singapore because this Hawker centres have different types of satays being cooked by the different races. I also remember I was very surprised at that time as I did not expect that there would be a hawker centre with a view of the sea. I feel that this hawker centre shows the creativity of the government to build a hawker centre which has nice food and a good view.

my favourite memory is eating at this stall from when i was young with my family after badminton trainings together. the stall owners are very nice and are always very considerate towards customers! i remember once where the stall owner had accidentally given me spicy food when i couldn't eat spicy foods and had offered to make amother bowl of noodles for me.

My favourite hawker food memory is trying out carrot cake for the first time.

I know that during the covid period it is not easy for you guys but all of you persevered and fought to the very end to keep your business.

I think that for the local part of hawker culture, we can do some advertisements as people nowadays are watching television so people can watch the advertisements and learn more about hawker culture. Secondly, there could be some posts about hawker culture on social media so that the government can target not only the young people who look at social media but also tourists who wish to come to Singapore to tour. Thirdly, I feel that with the covid restrictions relaxing, the government could have some roadshow to encourage people to have more awareness about hawker culture. For the tourists side, the government can encourage tour companies to organise tours that tour the Hawker centres so that tourists will know what hawker culture is.

Lunch hour during my deployment made me roam the hawker centre for my break. As usual happenstance for Singapore, the halal options are only a couple of stalls (literally two stalls) and only one happened to be operating.

Dine in groups of only 5, no dine-ins, take-away (dapao) only, use Food Delivery apps for your meal purchase, dine in groups of 5 again, no dine-ins again, vaccinated only, the changes will continuously happen.

I salute the hawkers who still make their day to day work, well, work. Many of the shops at the Hawker Centres I was deployed to have shuttered; some for the time being, some for good.

I took out a folded $10 note, with some change, and ordered a piping hot bowl of soto ayam. If you’ve only had mee soto before, soto ayam is similar, just replace the yellow egg noodles with cut-up chunks of lontong (Malay steamed rice cakes).

I sat alone to dine right at the corner with a 6-seat round table that had 4 seats taped “out of bounds”.

I had a few spoonfuls of the clear herb-y, spice-y hot chicken soup and added the chicken meat. The chicken was boiled (or possibly double-boiled?) very well, the meat just giving in and chunks of fibrous chicken fall off the bone very easily under the push of the fork.

Something felt very surreal and familiar.

Also, I think the stall might have given me a good quarter chicken portion, as it was a massive heaping of white meat for a $4.50 bowl (could it be to minimize the wastage at the end of the day? Or did I look really hungry?).

I have definitely tasted this exact taste for the soto before. But where? or when?

The lontong rice cakes were another story entirely; I felt like I was eating for two. The co-star for this would be the bagedil; crispy on the outside and super moist and flavorful within.

I stared at the bowl, now a luscious mix of lontong, pulled chicken meat, healthy dose of bean sprouts, the yellow-ed boiled skin from the chicken and a solitary exposed chicken wing bone.

Then it hit me.

When I was in Primary 1, I cried during the first week of school. During recess, the Primary 5 student leaders would help out the lost Primary 1 kids to get their meals. A very nice Chinese boy came to me, and brought me to a Chinese stall (I was always mistaken as a Chinese boy then, maybe not so much now) which ended up in me crying even more.

I was lucky to have my sister who heard my cries (lol) from the other end of the canteen and came over to help me and take over from the poor dumbfounded Chinese student leader (God bless you man. I don’t know where you are now and i hope you are doing well. Sorry if I dampened your helpful spirits at such a young age).

My sister brought me to the malay stall in the tuckshop, and I bought a bowl of mee soto for $0.40, which was a small serving of yellow noodles, and one solitary chicken drumlet.

As I ate, I semi-laughed between tears and I remember very clearly the tears falling into the bowl and me saying “It’s salty”.

But it was a good bowl of mee soto.

Simple, hearty, hot, and filling.

It hits the spot when you're hungry, and maybe even when you're just peckish for a really good bowl of chicken soup to calm your soul.

This bowl of Soto Ayam from Rahim Muslim Food at Chong Boon Market brought me back to almost 25 years ago when I was a kid in shorts, not knowing that we would be in this very situation now.

Being a hawker is tough work, and for some, might be the only skillset they have.

As alone as I felt then as a Primary 1 kid, I wonder how alone some of the hawkers might be feeling now.

All the best to out hawker guys/gals.

Let’s be more empathetic and understanding to everyone that we meet; be it the hawkers, cleaners, or our colleagues. Thank you hawkers, your food is a window into the lives of Singaporeans islandwide.

As a Singaporean living overseas, I miss the Hokkien Mee at Tiong Bahru greatly! One of my other fond memories is also associated with Hokkien Mee. We once decided to introduce visiting Japanese students to this wonderful local dish and went to a store at the Clementi Wet Market to cater a dish for 10 pax. The stall owner didn't have a container large enough at her stall, so she brought us walking around the wet market to look for a container! I love these small, spontaneous moments that you will not get at corporatized food stalls. Long live hawker culture and their important role in making SG home!

One of the best things about hawker centres is how they are representative of Singapore's multi-racial and multi-ethnic society.

As a Chinese, I love to mix up my Caipng with Nasi Padang. After all, where else can you enjoy those divine sambal eggs, fragrant begedil and my favourite petai?!

My best memory is when the Nasi Padang Makcik remembers my order and gave me the special discounts! Terima Kasih!

My favourite chwee kueh stall was at Pek Kio Market and Food Centre. It was the best chwee kueh I had. I remembered the seller had a big stone grind for the flour at his stall to make the chwee kueh.

I hope the hawker culture can be preserved as it is uniquely Singapore!

The chwee kueh at Pei Kio Market and Food Centre was my favourite food during my childhood days. I remembered the seller had a big stone grind at his stall for the flour to make chwee kueh. I like to see him make the chwee kuey and his swift action in scooping chay poh from a pot on top of a small stove and put in on the chwee kuey. Unfortunately, the seller stopped selling chwee kueh more than two decades ago due to old age. There is so far no chwee kuey that could match the nostalgic taste of what I had. We should really preserve the hawker culture and good hawker food that are uniquely Singapore!
