Things to eat at Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre

 

New food place to explore. It is advertised as an instagram worthy hawker center served by young entrepreneurs. I would very much prefer simple hawker fares at less exorbitant prices compared to 'hipster' food but if the food is good, it's still worth a try.

 

Anyone been here?

apparently so. i think it's same concept as bedok marketplace at simpang bedok and also timbre+. all the hipster eateries. just like how nowadays geylang serai and all the pasar malam also sell 'hipster' food that looks good on instagram but taste wise subjective.

 

but if staying around pasir ris still worth a visit if out of places to eat.

Looks very 阿搭式.

 

Don't know if they are reasonably priced.

I think its appeals to the youngster. My son likes the food there.

Been there twice; the standards aren't bad at all.

 

My camera on hand however wasn't a food blogger's grade though

Try most of the food as I stay nearby. I think Wild Olives represent one of the best value for money meal.

Talking about MU, there are several places with free lunch time parking, namely Our Tampines Hub, Down Town East and Loyang Point. Tampines Giant and Ikea Tampines, whole day free parking.

I forgot what it was actually, from the stall on the far left, think it was beef masala or maybe its butter chicken haha...

Most meals around $4~$5 on the hipster floor.

I think this concept is a great way to preserve (and upmarket) the uniquely Singapore hawker food scene.

 

Singaporeans (and the FT) had been pampered for many years by CHEAP and delicious hawker food that foreigners in western countries can only look on with envy.

 

In the past, the hawkers would look at the job (despite it being really tough on their body) that they were holding as providing them with a stable and reasonably good income during the nation building years. The really good ones would of course be earning above average incomes.

 

However, with the changing demographic due to the rising educational level and increasingly western mentality of younger generations, people are less willing to slog it out serving hawker food. Hell, even me (in my 40) would have second thoughts.

 

The way to go to encourage younger generation to enter the scene is to provide incentives in an intangible way by redesigning the profession to project a more upmarket feel and look. See how the western and japanese celebrity cooks are doing. Such approach would then bring on tangible benefits to the hawker in the form of higher income by charging (hopefully for the consumer only slightly) higher prices.

 

The downside is we consumers would be paying higher prices and thats the price (literally) to pay if our future generations are to continue to enjoy the food that their fathers and mothers had the previlege to enjoy.

so far i've been to a few such places to eat but sadly i still prefer the cheaper hawker food. not just because of the price but the fact that i would very much enjoy a plate of fried carrot cake than to be having chicken chop and the more atas food. if i really wanted something else, i would go to a cafe or restaurant to have it. i'm a bit old fashion.

prices still quite decent then. nowadays normal hawker food also at least $3+ and onwards.
