Pecel Lele @ Sri Nilam Food Court

Hawker Stall

a hawker center is an open-air commercial property – many are over two or more floors – where people cook on a permanent stall. These stalls may have their own seats but, usually, there is a large communal seating area. This allows everyone in your party to try different foods from various stalls.

Food Court

a large area or room, for example inside a shopping mall, where there are small restaurants selling many different types of food that you can eat at tables in the middle of the area

Food available in food courts is similar to those found in hawker centers. But in exchange for the air-conditioned comfort and “a touch of class” in food courts, customers typically pay 10 to 30 percent more for a meal there than for a similar meal at a hawker center.
