Feeling peckish? With more than 20 stalls and 10 old-school mobile hawkers, you can drool over long-lost dialect recipes such as the Hokkien Rickshaw Noodle, UFO (Fried Oyster Cake), Hakka Abacus Seed, Red Glutinous Wine Chicken, Teochew Ah Balling, Ice Ball and more! Staying true to its name, the 50 Cent Fest is bringing you all these lip-smacking grub from just 50 cents (or in denominations of 50 cents).

Not only will the food and decor be 80s themed, the nostalgic ambience will be set ablaze with various games and performances! Bask in the tunes of some Xin Yao performances with songs about life in this small island composed and sung by young Singaporeans. Otherwise, take a trip down memory lane and embrace the aroma of freshly baked biscuits in an 80s biscuit shop. For those feeling a bit more frisky, take on your friends at some 80s recreation with games such as hopscotch!

Whoever said that you can’t have your cake and eat it? At an affordable price of 50 cents, you can have your cake, eat it and have more!

So mark your calendars and don’t miss out on this epicurean bazaar. More event details can be found here.
