Eating places nearby

You cannot really walk for 5 minutes without coming to a place where you can buy food, particularly in HDB housing areas.

This is the "coffeeshop" just around the corner from our block. Coffeeshops typically have 6-8 stalls(to the left of the picture above) selling different kinds of food, for example chicken rice, fishball noodles etc. And then there is also 1 stall selling drinks, including coffee. There is a seating area that services all the stalls.

This is a typical "hawker centre" that is usually situated beside a market. This one is just a 5 to 10-minute walk from our block. There is similarly a common seating area, and a variety of food stalls in rows around the seating area. There are usually 3 rows of stalls back to back, i.e. 6 rows of food stalls, with 2 full sections of seating (you can see one of them in the picture above) and 2 sections half the width at both edges of the hawker centre... not sure if I am making sense. :P
