If there is one thing Singaporeans are known for, it is their deep-seated love for food. The sight of people staying in snaking queues for hours in hopes of securing a packet of locally fried char kway teow (a stir-fried rice noodle dish) or a piping hot bowl of prawn noodles is not uncommon. In fact, this “foodie” culture has made its way to the international stage with UNESCO’s recent decision to recognize the country’s hawker culture as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
