Honestly, forget the "legendary hawker" hype. Pasir Panjang is all about the variety. Instead of focusing on one dish, just wander around and grab whatever looks best to you.

That's the kind of place you’re looking for! Don't overthink it. Just go with your gut and explore. You won't be disappointed.

Many have image recognition features which could help you sort through your pictures. Failing that, a good botanical reference book, maybe one specifically focusing on Singaporean orchids, could be helpful. Good luck untangling that photographic jungle!
