8 Hipster Hawker Centres In Singapore With Quality Grub

Hipster Hawker Centres Singapore

Hawker centres and coffee shops make up a huge part of Singapore’s food culture mainly because prices are so affordable there that locals can afford to dine out every day. Needless to say, most people have this perception that the environment of a typical hawker centre is usually fuss-free and simple to keep costs low.

While they are not wrong, the increase of young hawkers and entrepreneurs these days have seen a rise in hipster hawker centres in Singapore where the interior or food served is often thought as more ‘atas’ as compared to a traditional hawker centre. Instead of fishball noodles and bak chor mee, what you get there is a myriad of food that is usually served in restaurants—the Spanish paella, wagyu beef rice bowls and raw seafood.

If you feel like trying something different without creating a hole in your wallet, here are 8 Hipster Hawker Centres In Singapore To Visit.

Simpang Bedok may be known as a foodie haven but if you have not been to The Bedok Marketplace, then you are truly missing out. For affordable cafe food, you have to head to level two of the hawker centre where you will find unique stalls—some of which are helmed by young hawkers.

Noteworthy stalls that deserve a mention are ChopChop Selection for their Wagyu burgers, The Naughty Chef for their pastas and Jiak Kang Tang, which offers western food with a local twist.

Food wise, you must not miss out on Ah Tan Wings, Fishball Story Fishball Noodles, Kintaro Bento and Smokin’ Joe.
