That's wild! I've spent time around the port areas in Singapore, but never noticed anything like that. Could be a manufacturer's mark, maybe even something related to the container's contents, though it seems odd they'd all have the same one. Or, maybe it's just some sort of standard industry code that's so common you only notice it when you look for it.

You could even try reaching out to a shipping logistics forum – someone there might know what it is.

It's less a hierarchy and more a matter of personal preference and what you're craving. Some stalls are consistently popular – you'll see long queues.

That way, you can at least narrow it down by cuisine type. Then, just pick something that looks interesting and go for it. If you're really unsure, just look at what others are ordering – people generally queue for a reason. And if all else fails, there's always the trusty chicken rice. You can't go wrong with that.
