• A Nation's Stomach: The Hawker Centre Landscape in Singapore

• Singapore's hawker culture traces its roots to the mid-1800s. Street peddlers - primarily of Chinese, Malay, and Indian heritage - sold affordable, freshly cooked meals from makeshift stalls and pushcarts. In the late 1960s and 1970s, the government resettled these vendors into purposely-build, sanitary complexes known now as hawker centres. 50 years later, these hawker centres were officially inscribed in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
