In our usual year-end special, we look back at 2020’s most popular makan recommendations according to your online response. Most were part of my circuit breaker special, featuring affordable meals for $20 or less, enough to feed 2-4 people. We stayed home, ordered in far more than usual and also tried to support our hawkers through various online platforms – truly a reflection of the pandemic year we’ve experienced.
The following list features a great variety of hawker stalls and dishes that grabbed the most views on our blog. Click on each for details & enjoy! You can also download the full version of our podcast (we give you more than what you hear on-air!) here.

Thank you so much for your support of our tasty little segment on Gold 905! I’m especially grateful to have been able to collaborate with CNA Lifestyle for an upsized video version of Makan Kakis and look forward to a bigger and better outlook for our F&B community in the New Year.
Ending our year on a brighter note, Singapore’s hawker culture has officially been added to the Unesco list of intangible cultural heritage! So let’s continue to support local F&B and champion our street food heritage. Hawkers, we salute you and thank you for filling our stomachs and lifting our spirits! Here’s to a hearty, hopeful 2021 full of delicious things to eat! Season’s Eatings & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
