Lunch time in Singapore: most people eat at 'hawker centres', not restaurants. Hawker centres are open air public spaces where, long ago, street food vendors were brought in from the streets. They ply their trade with better ventilation and sanitation.
Here's a peek into the hawker centre I grew up in. I ate half of my meals here (the other half at home). Hundreds of dishes at US$1-5 each, I miss eating like this.
