Many years ago, local pubs in the UK faced problems similar to the ones faced by our hawkers a few years back, i.e. rising costs and homogenization resulting from buyouts by big breweries.

The people reacted by starting CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) and quite successfully preserved the unique flavours of individual pubs and districts. Maybe we should revive the old hawker fare with CAMRHAF, to save our foods from Sheng Shiong and NTUC Food Fare.
I agree that we should try to preserve and revive the old hawker fare.
Not only is some food from foodcourts bad, but the prices are cut-throat, especially in some of the "upmarket" shopping malls, which I never patronize.

However, I disagree with your point about ntuc foodfare. Some of the stalls in ntuc foodfare are pretty good, and some were previously from hawker centres which moved there when the hawker centres were demolished or renovated. The prices are also reasonable.

There are exceptions like Chinatown hawker centre serves good food. The owner own the store and dish out yummy dishes. I will try to avoid the stall as long it is serve by a FT.

Only idiots eat at foodcourts with their high rental... the food and service is lousy because the bulk of costs go to pap rental collection... the only costs which go into the food is very low compare to the price idiots paid...

hawkers centers you also take a risk...

my mom once saw one stall owner wash the dishes in the same water she washes her food...kay leow man, that's why is more delicious?
