Singapore’s hawkers gets recognised by UNESCO

Asian street food has captured the imagination of the world, and now Singapore’s hawker food culture gets recognised by UNESCO. The hawker culture got inducted to the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

UNESCO recognises the hawker culture of the country, mentioning that community dining and culinary practices are prevalent throughout the country. The hawkers, who have had a bad year due to the Coronavirus pandemic, will finally get a ray of hope with such recognition.
