Very common to see birds and pigeons walking under the hawker center tables even with people near to it. And when these birds suddenly flies up, it shock the hell out of those people next to it.

Solved the return tray problem, now created another problem. They really should have a better tray return system that can prevent birds from feasting on the plates. 

When those birds flies up, the flipping of their wings are dirty and if they fly under your food, dont know how much bacteria and dirt dropped down. No wonder i know some people dont like to eat at hawker centre due to these problem. Rather eat at foodcourt, cleaner than hawker centre.

Nowadays if I see birds walking around below the tables, I will avoid that hawker center or just do take-away.

However, I am starting to see that these birds are starting to enter  kopi shops.

I know those popular ones like one at Novena, one at East coast road etc.

Big prawns usually cost $10 and above per bowl. 

$4.30 seem reasonable price for coffeeshop.

My layman simple solution - have cleaners stationed at collection pts, more so especially during peak lunch dinner hours, or else gonna be like this ... :D

With the tray return rule, should have cleaner at every collection pt to clear swiftly, so many plates of leftover food confirm birdies congregate there have a buffet. 🤣

NEA great suggestion for people to self collect and return trays.....

But didn't expect the trays and stuff needed to be washed....

Probably next movement is 

"Wash your own tray."

Then all Hawker centre get issue the same type of trays used in regimental/corrective organisation.

See the chilled food taken out from it no appetite to eat already.🤣

 

But see those soiled trays and cutlery also no appetite and space to have meals.

This is what we wanted to be listed under UNESCO cultural heritage 🤦

Was there last Friday afternoon. Couldn't even find a gap to slot my tray. 😂

Was also at Chinatown HC. Anybody realize that the whole place was netted up from birds!

Sometimes you dont see those birds but after you sit down and eat, they appear. Kopi shops cannot avoid since it is also open concept. Thats why best is eat in foodcourt.
