"From Streets to Stalls", a podcast episode about Singapore's modern hawker food culture which is clean, hygienic, affordable and how it came to be from colonial to modern times (through policy, real estate etc)
@skinnylatte problem is the stalls are getting very expensive to rent.
@martin_piper yeah the difference between what a legacy hawker pays and what a today hawker pays is immense
@skinnylatte before my daughter was born, when I was working at beach road, I used to eat a lot of hawker food almost every day. My cholesterol level massively increased. I then switched to cooking at home a lot more often.
@martin_piper oh yeah definitely not great for health haha
at least the dishes i gravitate to
maybe if you ate leicha and congee everyday it will be fine but i can't do that
@skinnylatte oh yes I was eating char siew, fired noodles, luncheon meat, wu xiang every day.
