How does it feel to be the first “hawker” to acquire a Michelin star?
The award of one Michelin star from Michelin Guide Singapore in July 2016 gives me great pride. It was beyond my imagination that my humble soya sauce recipe would be recognised by the most prestigious Michelin Guide and I would be awarded the titles — The World First Hawker Michelin-starred Meal and The Cheapest Michelin-starred Meal in The World.

The narrative leaps forward to the time period 1968 to 1986 when the Singapore government resettled street hawkers into hawker centres and markets.
There may be more detailed information on the history of hawker culture in Singapore contained in the nomination documents but they will only be available for viewing on Unesco’s website in July. Until they become available, perhaps it is worth tracing the history hawker culture in Singapore so that we can understand it better.
