Food Republic
Food Republic (Chinese: 大食代; pinyin: Dàshídài) is a food court chain run by the BreadTalk Group based in Singapore.
The concept combines local hawker fare with mini restaurants (some of which have exclusive seating) in an open dining concept. Some stalls are also run from standalone pushcarts. Food Republic's elaborate decor and furniture are designed to invoke a nostalgic kampong atmosphere.
