Hawkers in Singapore


On our trip to Cambodia and Thailand, we had a 16 hour layover in Singapore, which could be seen as annoying, but we saw as just enough time to see whether we would want to go back.  In the not too distant past Singapore was known for it's food stalls that were open at night.  Now they have been brought into what are known as Hawker markets, which are about 50-70 stalls, each smaller than a food truck, which are arranged in a circle with tables in the middle.  We were there about 10 o'clock at night and it was packed with people, we were lucky to get a table, and then we ordered several different dishes, the best of which were the grilled chicken wings, BBQ skate, and the Singapore noodles.  So good.  We spent most of our time, whether on the street or in the Hawker market, amidst crowds of people, out late at night, enjoying food and lights and festivities.
