For all the talk that the East side of Singapore has the best food, I think the West side has amazing food as well. There are multiple hawker centres in the west side but Yuhua Market and Hawker Centre are one of the most notable. As is customary, I usually look for any good chicken …

One of the less common hawker foods in Singapore is satay, but when there is a satay stall, it’s usually good. DJ Satay Grill for example, is located at the newly revamped Margaret Drive Hawker Centre. The stall is unique because it doesn’t sell pork as it’s Muslim owned.
