Stay away from these markets & hawker centres scheduled for spring cleaning in May 2024

It’s May already and I’m back for the 5th instalment of our monthly hawker centre cleaning series for 2024. I received a couple of comments last month on Yahoo claiming that this article is only written because there’s nothing else to report.

The truth is, this monthly feature is curated to allow people to be aware of when their favourite food centres are actually closed for cleaning. With the weather getting scorching hot these days, it’s very important that we don’t make a wasted trip. Just imagine sweating buckets and missing out on your favourite food— a double whammy of disappointment, for sure!

And with that, I present to you the list of markets and hawker centres scheduled for spring cleaning in May 2024.
