Sweat and hard work goes into building our delicious Singapore food culture, especially in the heat of hawker centres. But you know this is where you will find real gems and flavours that locals miss so much when they go overseas. How many people rush down to get their good ol' carrot cake when they touched down from a long overseas holiday? The Ultimate Original Recipe celebrates the heritage of our pioneer generation hawkers through stalls helmed by chefs from the second, third and fourth generations of famous hawkers.
This menu includes some of the amazing selections you can find at the Ultimate Hawker Fest.

It is heartening to know that our hawker culture is very much alive with younger people extending the legacy! Armed with his grandmother’s recipe, Douglas Ng, 23, of Fishball Story arrives at his stall at 4am every morning to make all his fishballs from scratch using only pure yellowtail fish meat and no flour. Douglas has a passion in preserving the hawker heritage and serving food with heart.
“It’s the feel of the wobbly fish paste, how I need to adjust to the supply each day as the fishes are not all the same every day and the way I need to beat and slap the paste, season and soak it before I can boil them - all very satisfying, I cannot explain why,”
The Ultimate Pursuit of Happiness celebrates the enterprising spirit of these budding chefs and hawkers by featuring individuals who left their jobs in other sectors to pursue their passion for food in the hawker industry.
