I fly from Sydney to Mumbai once a year and one of the stopover options is Singapore. It was a while before I ventured out to eat in a Singapore hawker centre and I was just starting to enjoy it. And then Covid hit and these visits stopped. Like many other pursuits, the moment Covid ended I threw myself into it with more zeal. Nothing like having it taken away for a few years just when you are getting into it. No matter the number of times you do it now, there is always the feeling that all this will go away in the snap of a finger.
