Singapore is famous for its hawker centers, these outdoors food stalls that services some of the cheapest and tastiest food you can imagine. For S$3, you can you have full meal. I didn't realize food is that cheap. I went to Lau Pa Sat, an old style, traditional hawker center in the midst of the financial district. Labelled as a heritage site, it's a scene to be scene on weekday lunches. People from all classes and walks gather into this huge hall of outdoor food stalls. The food is cheap but good. So everyone comes no matter what. It's so crowded yet organized. People save their seats with packets of tissue paper that's so common here in Asia. Then, you go to a stall for food. There were hundreds of stalls packed in this place. How do you know which one to go? Easy, the one with the longest queue (or line). My Singaporean coworker told me: "I have no idea what's good here, but if you see a lot of singaporeans lining up, it has to be good."

| $5 Indonesian Set. Can't believe there's somewhere this cheap in the middle of the most expensive area in Singapore. |

| This is how you save your table - with tissue packets. |
