If you haven’t been to Singapore, chances are you haven’t tried authentic hawker street food.
But with celebrity chef endorsements, an array of complex flavors and plenty of spice, Singaporean cuisine is shaping up to be one of the next big things in food.
Earlier this year, Anthony Bourdain announced that he would be teaming up with K.F. Seetoh, an expert in Singapore’s dining scene, to open a 155,000 square feet food hall-- set to be the largest in New York City. Though the market will feature cuisines from around the world, Bourdain has repeatedly credited Asian influences—and Singapore in particular—as inspiration.

“Think of an Asian night market. Eating and drinking at midnight,” the outspoken chef told the New York Times said of his massive new hall.
Singapore is a relatively young country—it’s celebrating its 50th birthday this year. But with global influences and a seemingly endless array of dynamic street food markets—known as “hawker centers”—the food in Singapore is as diverse and complex as any from an older country.
“Hawker food is a unique aspect of Singaporean culture and very much a way of life in Singapore due to the variety of dishes,” Kershing Goh, a director of Americas at Singapore Tourism Board, told FoxNews.com. Hawker centers cater to the busy, on-the-go lifestyle of the small city and provide relatively cheap food full of flavor.
“Singapore has more than 100 hawker centers housing more than 15,000 small food stalls.”
