We wandered about the stalls deciding what to order, noticing there were long queues at several of the stalls. One was a fish head soup stall which didn't appeal to either of us. The other was a hainanese chicken rice stall (Tian Tian) for which Singapore hawker stalls are famous for so it wasn't a hard choice. While DH joined... More
