The skinny:
- Hawker Centers have the best food at the cheapest prices.
- Local restaurants have very good food at very good prices.
- Food courts (i.e., malls) have acceptable food at OK prices.
- Tourist restaurants have acceptable food and bad prices.
Hawker Centers are so great but keep really strange hours.
