Here, you'll get the best of both traditional hawker fare and 'hipster' delights
How do you bring people together in peaceful harmony?
In Singapore, you set up a gastronomy haven for hungry-goers to meet, merrymake and chow down on a mix of traditional and modern cuisines, as exemplified by the latest 770-seater Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre.
The two-storey culinary destination is home to hawkers from all walks of life, where its first floor is lined with 20 stalls serving up traditional hawker fare, while the second, which is playfully called Fareground, is a section for the younger cooks to churn out modern and hipster creations that'll definitely thrill both the young and the old.
Here, we rounded up eight dishes you should try:
7. Sio Bak Burger ($5.50), The Humble Burger
While it’s heartening to see The Humble Burger putting a local spin on the typically western dish, our gripe with the Sio Bak Burger is that it wasn’t packing as much flavours as we would like it to. Traditionally salty, the crispy pork belly ‘patties’ were not and had to rely on the mustard condiment for moisture and flavour. Other than that, the burger is indeed an interesting hawker option to try. Look out for the Chicken Rice Burger too!
