SINGAPORE - Singapore's top 10 hawker stalls for roasted meat rice, Western food, Indian rojak and double-boiled soup were recognised on Sunday morning in the seventh annual City Hawker Food Hunt.
Organised by City Gas and Shin Min Daily News, the awards are based on public voting for a shortlist drawn up by the organisers.
This year, the new Young Hawker Award was also conferred on hawkers aged 35 or younger, "to encourage the younger generation of hawkers", said City Gas acting chief executive officer Teo Kwan Hai.
One of the three winners was the husband and wife team behind fishball noodle stall Ru Ji Kitchen, Mr Daniel Lee and Ms Joanne Ng, both 32. Ms Ng's father runs his own fishball stall, and the couple saw a business opportunity.
"I used to think it was difficult. But now I think as long as you have a good recipe, a strong recipe, then if the business is successful, it's still worth a try," said Mr Lee. The couple run two stalls, one at Old Airport Road and one at Redhill.
Other awards were My Favourite Hawker Centre, the Most "Healthier Choice" Hawker Centre, the Most Authentic Hawker Stall and the Cleanest Hawker Centre.
Winning the Cleanest Hawker Centre award was the food centre at Block 84 Marine Parade Central, where the award ceremony was held on Sunday.
Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, adviser to Marine Parade grassroots organisations, was guest of honour. "The City Hawker Food Hunt Awards recognises the diverse culinary achievement and hard work by hawkers from all over Singapore," he said.
"I look forward to sampling many of these hawker fares myself!" he added.
