SGhawkerfoodies

Celebrating hawker culture while strengthening neighborhood ties through food and stories.

📍 Singapore📅 July 1, 2024

SGhawkerFoodies was launched together with SGbefrienders in 2021, creating a space where you can make a new friend over hawker food. Established to bring people together through the love of local cuisine, our aim is to engage the taste buds of both Singaporeans and expatriates while supporting the growth of young hawkers in Singapore. We seek to bond people across generations — locals and expats alike — through shared meals and meaningful friendships. By doing so, we celebrate and elevate our Uniquely Singapore hawker culture, carrying our UNESCO-recognised heritage to greater heights for generations to come.

The Challenge

Hawker culture thrives on relationships; communities want shared spaces to appreciate, support, and preserve it.

Our Approach

  • Neighbor food trails and story-sharing nights
  • Apprentice days with hawkers for youth
  • Heritage documentation with local storytellers
  • Community cook-alongs and pay-it-forward meals
