Ang Mo Kio is not a place you’d normally think to venture out for a food adventure. I actually had the same sentiments — until I discovered Banh Mi Saigon.

Singapore’s hawker culture was recently inducted onto UNESCO list for intangible cultural heritage . It’s been long coming, helped by stalwarts like Hill Street Tai Hwa putting our hawker scene on the map by earning itself a Michelin Star .
Chatterbox is perhaps best known for selling the most expensive chicken rice in Singapore. Laksa and rojak are also amongst the beloved hawker dishes that are given the same luxury treatment.
