Hawker food getting worse and worse?

[uscate]

I arrived in Singapore all excited about the "Hawker Food Experience," but soon discovered that the vast amount of lard in most of the food made it more of a negative than a positive for me. Plus, I've found many of the hawker centers themselves to be rather stuffy and trashy. The one that I do like is Gluttons by the Bay in Marina Bay - maybe because it's outside and the food stands seem to be a little nicer with more grilled food.

Most of it is swimming in cheap, poor-quality oil and MSG. Ick.

SE Asian equivalent of a McD's burger really.

The Indian population has gone up significantly in the last decade and hence quite a few Indian restaurants, both in food courts as well as fine dining have sprung up. If there is one reason I like Singapore, it is the wide availability of our food

Yep. Nothing yet beats the "biriyani joint' at marine parade central! Should try their fish tikka, kebab, dum biriayani, palak....

i maybe wrong but thunder tea rice (lau pa sat) seems pretty healthy and tastes good.

apart from that then it's a struggle to think of other ones...
