When our budget is tight and our cravings are strong as an undefeatable soldier, we turn to that one best friend everyone and their mothers have — hawker stalls! A hawker may not be seen as the most desirable in terms of career persuasion, but recent times have seen a rise in a new trend of hawker stalls — hipster hawker stalls!
In accordance with this rise of hipster hawker stalls, we see interesting results — the food we all grew up with being reconstructed in creative and unconventional ways! These 10 hipster hawker stalls here will testify that for you!
The World Is Flat sees modern Japanese restaurant Tanuki Raw utilizing the concept of bar & kitchen, serving up alcoholic drinks and food selections that explode with imagination and personality. You’d be in for a very nice surprise — the Fat Samurai Pizza, for example, dons the appearance of a toothsome pie, but is laced with flavor from ingredients such as duck confit, bacon, prawn and American beef.
A hearty bowl of ramen is always good and wholesome. A Noodle Story delivers this with a twist — the ramen is served Singapore style. The blending of Japanese and local flavors create a whole new experience with their “ramen” that incorporates Japanese food elements into traditional wonton noodles. Hard work of sweat and tears are put into each bowl. Not recommending them would be a huge regret!

Seafood always tastes better when seasoned with sea salt; that’s why you should totally give Seasalt a visit.
