FOOT TO WHEELS
With more resources,
baskets turn into carts
where sellers could move
from one place to another in
ease. This change is slowly
realised with charcoal stove
and cooking utensils to
cook on request.
MODERNITY ENSUES
Many hawkers move to food
courts/centers to sell food due
to government intervention,
ease of cooking facilities and
hygiene purposes. Hawking
by the street starts to pose
danger due to the increase of
cars on the road.
FOOD AT CALL
Town people
start selling food
sold in baskets
hanging on a single
pole balanced on
shoulders, roaming
the streets for
potential patrons.
AGE OF HAWKERS
For decades, the reception
for warm fast food is so
terrific that streets were
occupied by hawkers from
one end to the other. Food
and desserts like char kway
teow, laksa and cendol
became popular street food.
INDOOR STREET FOOD
By appeasing the food
popularity and demand,
vendors have significantly
increased their accessibility
everywhere. Presently,
street food can be tasted
even in high-end airconditioned
places.
