With the theme “Our Colonial Era”, the 50 Cents Fest will be returning for its third year running this weekend (28-29 July), from 11am to 11pm, at Chinatown Food Street.

The festival, which is part of the annual Singapore Food Festival, will have more than 40 stalls and mobile vendors offering close to 50 different street food and drinks, from as little as 50 cents to no more than $3.

The street food and drinks include Black Pepper Crab, Lontong, Uttapam, Fish Molee, Gula Melaka Ice Ball, and Kopi Gu You.

Festival-goers can also catch 1930s Taxi Girls performances, as well as popular songs of the ’30s performed by local a cappella group 1023 on both days.

The festival will also feature a back-alley barber offering a haircut for $2, and a free Augmented Experience (AR) experience for festival-goers to get a glimpse of the daily street happenings in the 1930s, which include sights of samsui women, opium smokers and gambling dens.
