Top 10 Singaporean Hawker Foods

Singapore's hawker culture was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in December 2020, recognizing its hawker centres — open-air food courts housing dozens of individual stalls — as a unique and irreplaceable social institution at the heart of Singaporean identity. The city-state has over 110 hawker centres and over 6,000 licensed hawker stalls, feeding an estimated 2.8 million people daily at prices ranging from SGD 2-10 per dish. Singapore is also home to the world's cheapest Michelin-starred meal — a plate of Chicken Rice at Hawker Chan in Chinatown, still priced at SGD 3.80 after receiving its star in 2016.
