Every food courts in Singapore that tries to model after the road side food streets of the 1960s, 1970s proves to be such a hit with the locals, as well as the tourists. Minus the unhygienic environment of the old days, such food courts provide comfort dinning in cool air-conditioned or balmy electric fans.
What i love most about the place is the lively old songs that played at the background, while dinning, savoring the atmosphere rather than our already all too familiar hawker food.
At the Singapore Food Trail in the Singapore Flyer today, i was indulging in the 60s mood while Ric cracks over the food to buy ;)
Katong Keah Kee Fried Oysters ($5)
A $5 plate brought about helping of 6-7 Oysters - seems a good bargain right? It was nice enough, but aren't the best that we know of ;)
Quite a popular stall with continuous queue forming.
Lagoon Kampong Rojak ($4)
Another crowd pleaser; with the hawker asking every customer, "$6?"
"No, $4." was the frequent replies ;)
The plate comes with a generous mix of fried fritters, or more commonly called Youtiao in Mandarin. But no Taupok here; in case you must have it for your rojak..
Oh! And i almost forgot to mention, while most Singapore food courts are dominated by China national helper and cooks, the stalls here are helmed by our locals, even senior looking veterans! Appreciate!
We do need to retain our local culture, right ;)

Nice Sight! I took my kids to the Singapore Food Trail last week. We only tried the "Ice Ball" which I think is a bit pricy. But it was a good experience for the children since they get to see many old stuff. :)
