  With the opening of the 'Soul Food' at the BIOPOLIS Complex - just off North Buona Vista Road, near to the Buona Vista MRT station, Singaporeans can enjoy hawker food in air conditioned comfort.
  
  The best of Singapore Hawkers have been selected by Makansutra Foods and housed under one roof.
  
  Must try is the Chicken Rice that is from the famous restaurant hidden at the corner of Braddell Road and Upper Serangoon Road.
  
  Also the Roti Prata from Sembawang is offered at this 'Soul Food'.
  
  Another location with the best of Singapore Hawkers can be found at a small cafe called 'Lucky Cafe' at Basement ONE of Lucky Plaza.
  
  At this Lucky Plaza Basement Level, there are two food centres - one is actually a large food court that can be seen after passing the McDonalds, and walking deeper down the corridor to the rear part of Lucky Plaza.
  
  The 'Lucky Cafe' is entered from the Mount Elizabeth side entrance of Lucky Plaza, and also located at the rear end.
  
  The Lucky Plaza upgraded basement washroom facility separate these two food centres along a common corridor.
  
  The food at this 'Lucky Cafe' - with nine stalls - is packed full during lunch, compared to the half-filled seating capacity of the larger Food Court nearer to McDonalds.
  
  The 'Lucky Cafe' is closed after 5 p.m.
  
  Must try - century egg porridge, cuttle fish porridge, and Nasi Lemak from Pearl's Centre. Also must try is the Char Siew and Roast Duck Rice from Pearl's Hill, and Mee Siam from Tiong Bahru.
