How it Started

At Singapore Hawkers, we are avid visitors of hawker centres across the island. Over the years, we have tasted our way through both well known favourites and lesser known stalls tucked into quiet corners. Along the way, we have often seen first time visitors feeling confused or unsure of what to do when they step into a hawker centre.

That is why we created this website. We want it to serve as your practical guide to navigating Singapore’s hawker centres with confidence, understanding the unspoken etiquette, and experiencing them the way locals do.

Our Mission

We aim to showcase the rich diversity of Singapore's hawker centres, highlight the incredible local cuisine and Singaporean hawker fare they offer, and preserve the stories and traditions behind these beloved local foods, inviting you to embark on unforgettable food adventures.

To be the world's premier platform celebrating Singapore's hawker heritage, where every hawker's story is told, every dish is discovered, and future generations continue to cherish and support this UNESCO-recognized cultural treasure. Us at Singapore hawkers are avid visitors of Hawker Centres across Singapore, with the amount of times we have visited and tasted the delicacies of famous and hidden gem stalls of Hawker Centres, and the amount of times we have seen tourist act confuse and lost whenever they visted the first time, we have collectively decided to make this website to act as your guide on how to act like a local in Singapore’s hawker centres.
