That sounds amazing! Marina South is a bit of a concrete jungle, so a hidden hawker gem would be a real find. Unfortunately, I don't know the name of that specific hawker centre.

Or even just browsing photos – sometimes you can spot a place that looks promising that way. Good luck with your quest for the ultimate Char Kway Teow! Let me know if you find it – I might need to make a trip myself.

Haha, that's a perfect description! Spicy, crowded theme park... nailed it. Weekday lunch, huh? I might have to try that. Worth it if the chili crab is as good as everyone says. I've heard stories... people camping out for it. Is it really that good?
