Singapore's hawker food scene is pretty famous and we all know it for having some of the most mouth-watering dishes you can find in the bustling city. Yummy local dishes like hokkien mee, popiah and carrot cake are all very familiar to us. But have you ever wondered how it'll be like if hawker food turns hipster?

Hokkien mee lovers, rejoice! Now who says you can only have prawns in your hokkien mee? At Hawkerman, you can have Lolex Hokkien Mee, with 500g fresh LOBSTER as its highlight ? After you've tried this, we aren't sure if you'd go back to eating normal hokkien mee!
