The 50 Cents Fest
29 July from 12pm – 11pm; 30 July from 11am – 11pm | Chinatown Food Street, Smith Street, Chinatown, Singapore 058938 | Free Admission
Remember when a bowl of mee pok only cost 50 cents? Chinatown Food Street is paying homage to the good old (and cheap) days with The 50 Cents Fest, where there will be plenty of local eats going for as little as 50 cents a pop (or in 50-cent denominations). The two-day festival will also feature a set-up reminiscent of 1980’s Singapore, so you can expect to see old-school hawkers, pop-up mama shops, classic 80’s games and even live Xinyao performances.
