It is always a delight to go to the Hawker centres. It is a food heaven on earth literally. Foods there are great and affordable. Crowded at times but it adds up to the eating experience. The long line of food stall and the aroma of freshly cooked local Singapore recipes give that distinct mass appeal to the Hawker Centres compared to the Food Courts.
Chinese, Malay and the rest of Asia comprise the cuisine found at Hawkers centres. Halal foods are also commonly served. On one of my trips to Tampines area, I tried going to their Hawker centre. The lowest prices of food in Tampines can be bought here. The Tampines Round Market and Food centre is a lot bigger than other Hawker centre in some parts of Singapore. I love the fact that although it is somewhat crowded there is still a feel of being relaxed maybe because of the high ceilings of the place.
Local Singapore food here is more authentic, as well as with other Hawker centres. Cooks often come from China and Malaysia and some other Asian countries. All are reasonably priced with decent portions.Some specializes in street food while others prepare main entrees like the Hainanese Chicken Rice. The chicken meat is tender and the sauce very tasty. The chili sauce gives another depth to the flavor of the dish. The stock used to boil the rice gives it another body of flavor aside from the usual bland taste of steamed or boiled rice.
Regulars also come here for the satay and noddle dishes as well as the local beverages. The Teh Tarik is one of the many popular drinks here in Singapore. It consists mainly of black tea and condensed milk to add sweetness. Watching someone doing this “pulled tea” is really remarkable. The tea with milk is quickly poured from one cup and then back to the other cup. I guess those doing this had a lot of practice so as not to spill any on the floor. Tau Huay is another favorite of mine. The soft bean curd is just refreshing to the palate. The silky bean curd just melts in the mouth and dark syrup made of caramelized sugar makes it more heavenly. Aside from the bean curd, fresh soya milk is also sold here.
Hawker centre is still the place to be when it comes to affordable and tasty dishes. Some of the best food in Singapore can be found there. The Tampines Hawker centre was created with for a good eating environment with its organized food stalls and sitting is more spacious to cater for more friends gathering and family dining.
