Crunchtime for Cash at Singapore’s Famed Hawker Food Stalls
Bloomberg 2 hrs ago Krystal Chia and Alfred Cang
(Bloomberg) Singapore officials trying to digitize the economy are targeting a tricky group of holdouts: elderly vendors who run the country’s famed hawker stalls.
For generations of Singaporeans, stalls selling popular street food have been an indispensable part of local life. Even amid unbearable midday heat, these open-air complexes draw office professionals, families and retirees with favorites such as chicken rice, prawn noodles and the nasi lemak coconut rice dish.
Hawker centers have won global acclaim, recognized by Unesco last year as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
