About
Open-air food courts where hundreds of independent stalls serve Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Peranakan dishes side by side, often for just a few dollars a plate. In 2020, Singapore's hawker culture was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity — the first street food culture to receive the honor. Maxwell Food Centre, Lau Pa Sat, and Old Airport Road are among the best-loved.
