By Aaron Ong | June 29, 2026

I have been coming to Maxwell Food Centre for years now, at all the wrong and right hours. Early mornings when the porridge stalls are stirring and the room still smells of bleach and steam. This iconic food centre features over 100 hawker stalls offering an authentic taste of Singapore’s culinary heritage, from traditional Hainanese…

Cuppage Plaza Food Guide: Japanese Restaurants and Hidden Gems in Singapore’s Little Tokyo

By Aaron Ong | June 11, 2026

I started coming to Cuppage Plaza for the light. The building is old, a little worn at the edges, with narrow staircases and corridors that smell faintly of charcoal and sake by early evening. But that is exactly why I kept returning, camera in hand, over many visits across the past few years. This is…

Where Night Settles Into the Grill: Shooting The Best Izakayas in Singapore

By Aaron Ong | May 18, 2026

I have spent the last three years carrying my camera through the smoky, cramped corridors of the acclaimed “best izakaya” Singapore has.

To the Light That Filters Through the Smoke

By Aaron Ong | June 26, 2026

The smoke rises first, and then the light finds it. It is late afternoon at Adam Road Food Centre, and the satay stall has just lit its coals. The skewers are not on the grill yet. Only the heat is there, lifting in a thin gray column that bends toward the open side of the…

A Moment of Silence for the Rice, Steaming Gently

By Aaron Ong | June 23, 2026

The lid lifts, and the steam rises before the smell does. It is just past noon at Chinatown Complex Food Centre, and the queue at the chicken rice stall has thinned for a moment. The auntie opens the rice cooker the way you might open a window, slow and without ceremony. White steam climbs into…

By Aaron Ong | June 19, 2026

The stall is empty when I arrive. It is a corner unit at Tiong Bahru Market, second floor, where I came to photograph a plate I had been thinking about for weeks. A dry mee pok, simple and dark with vinegar, served by an old man who used to fold the noodles into the bowl…
