the hawker center is an outdoor open catering business and consumption place in Singapore, also known as food court and cooked food center. Singapore Hawker Center was founded in 1971. It was originally built by the Singapore government to deal with unlicensed cooked food hawkers on the street. Its purpose was to provide services to residents and provide jobs for hawkers, and at the same time, to solve the problems brought about by the increasing urban population and the number of hawkers, such as poor sanitary conditions, messy city appearance, disorderly spread of stalls, road congestion and occupation of sidewalks. After the completion of the hawker center, the government issued a formal business license to hawkers, and conducted a series of trainings on hygiene and food handling to ban illegal street hawkers.

With the development of the times, there are thousands of hawker stalls in Singapore to provide residents and tourists with a variety of cheap and good meals. At present, the hawker center has complete sanitary facilities, and the booth design, water supply and drainage, smoke exhaust and filtration, and fixed tables and chairs for guests to eat are all arranged in a unified way.
