I know Singapore likes to give license and accreditations to many trades. But why is it they do not review all?

I guess when it comes to taste, it's personal. But since they're dealing with food, hygiene is of utmost importance.

NEA can only help ensure that hygiene standards are met, but the funny thing is that I don't think they check whether hawkers wash vegs properly, because many a time, I've seen hawkers chopping vegs straight out of their newspaper wrappers! Is it acceptable, my fellow Singaporeans?

Food these days is tasteless and prepared by people whose sole purpose is to make a profit. If you find something tasty, you'll return, otherwise, you'll never go back. I guess that's the best "review" that we can get at the moment.

The government does review the hawkers. They grade the hawkers' hygiene standards using A, B, C or D.

This is a kind of "accrediting" done by the government.

if you don't like the food hawker cooks, you may as well eat at home.
