A hawker centre (Chinese: 小贩中心), or cooked food centre (Chinese: 熟食中心), is an often open-air complex commonly found in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. They are intended to provide a more sanitary alternative to mobile hawker carts and contain many stalls that sell different varieties of affordable meals. Tables and chairs are usually provided for diners.
Such centres are usually managed by a governing authority that maintains the facility and rents out stores for hawkers to sell their goods.
