If you’re well-travelled – in Southeast Asia, especially – then you would probably would have encountered the roadside food vendor selling everything from ice cream to skewered pieces of meat. Singapore-the-food-paradise also once had its fair share of streetside vendors, and now you can learn about them in the Singapore Street Food Gallery at the National Museum.
