In the blockbuster film Crazy Rich Asians, Rachel Chu and Nick Young are welcomed to Singapore by the soon-to-be-wed couple, Araminta Lee and Colin Khoo. They all go out on a food trip at Singapore's Newton Food Centre, dubbed as "a place where you can sample all the best local eats." With close to 100 stalls, it's no wonder it was chosen as one of the film's shoot locations. A mouthwatering montage of the food market's different offerings like the curry laksa, chili crabs, ice kachang (Singapore's version of halo-halo) and sticks of satay, or skewered turmeric-marinated meat, was just one of the many food moments to watch for in the film.
