Mr M, 47, was a former senior sales and marketing manager at an electronics MNC for nine years before he was retrenched in 2009. Married with a wife and twin teenage sons,

he tried his hand at being a financial advisor for a year before deciding to become a taxi driver. He has been running his taxi service since 2011. He survived a heart-attack in

late 2012 and now has four stents in his heart. His philosophy on life is now to live well, stay healthy and to share his real-life experiences. In his latest post on Taxi Talk,

he shares the hawker food centres that taxi drivers patronise the most.

Taxi drivers are the “princes of the road”, but we are also, without a doubt, the “food experts of the hawker centres” as we ferry passengers

to and fro around the city to many places to eat and dine around Singapore. Taxi drivers simply love to eat and, when time permits, we queue for our favourite food or for highly-recommended dishes.

In this 7^th installment of “Taxi Talks”, I would like to share with you the top 8 hawker food centres in Singapore that we frequently patronise. You should “die die must try!”.

You can then also bond with your friends, colleagues and family through our famous hawker food.

In the Singapore context, eating food at hawker centres has become a way of life. It's a time to savour authentic Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western type of cuisine -- at an affordable price.

Though food is subjective, Singaporeans, PRs, expatriates, foreigners and tourists alike simply love to eat. It’s a natural way of bonding, chatting, “catching-up” or simply idling time away.

So go enjoy your favourite breakfast, lunch, dinner or supper at these places (in no order of priority).
