NEA describes it well on its website, myhawkers.sg. It says “Although small in size, the hawker centre has huge reputation”. We agree. Opened in 1974, Adam Road Food Centre, which was notorious for its hygiene problems before the renovation, is the go-to place for Muslim and Indian Muslim fare such as nasi lemak and mee goreng. In fact, it carries so much weight in Singaporean’s makan appetite that when it was closed for renovation in 2001 and 2008, it was reported by one major local newspaper not once, but a couple of times (most hawker centres do not receive similar attention from the papers). Here are five of our favourites that we say you shouldn’t miss.
