There are few things in Singapore that rival the wild landscape of the HAWKER. From Lau Pa Sat, Holland Village, Chinatown and the more upscale Hawkers at 313 Somerset and Asia Square. All are unique in their own way and all offering tastes from around the world at prices you can't beat. It's no wonder why Hawkers are always so crowded, because really, it's cheaper then buying groceries. In many ways, Singapore's Hawker landscape mirrors one of the Peruvian odyssey: More languages are spoken here, though one may only hear the faint murmur of people chatting away, or the collective noise of hooting and shouting of shop owners; more foods are available here—including both kim chee, indian curry and italian-style tomatoes. The shop workers are like the birds found in Peru: their plumages in full color, both cooing and caw-ing at you to come their way. I could go with the Indian roti-prata set or the Japanese Udon, but today I feel like just plain-old chicken and rice—Singapore's signature dish. The rice is cooked in the chicken stock, making it oh-so-delectable. Whatever I decide, the Hawker never fails to provide. There are no maps to the world of the Hawker, but that is the beauty of it: the seemingly endless ecosystem.

Word to the wise: Don't be afraid to try new things. If you don't know what it is, ask around. If you want to play it safe, choose the stall that's the most crowded. You really can't go wrong.
