Eating together Singapore: The Hawker Centre in the Singapore Story

Saturday, 27 September 2008
2.30 pm – 4 pm
Mulit-purpose Room, Central Lending Library, Basement 1

Based on Professor Lily Kong’s book on Singapore Hawker Centres, she seeks to share her study on how such eating-places have become an iconic Singapore landscape and way of life. She intends to map out the development of this social institution; from the early days of street peddlers to the consolidated hawker centres initiated in the late 1960s and early 1970s, to the food courts of the 1980s and 1990s. Together, they highlight the uniqueness of place in crafting Singapore’s landscape identity in the face of the changing global trends.

Join Professor Kong as she shares the socio-economic and cultural developments of hawker centres and street food cultures since the colonial era in Singapore.
