Is there a hawker stall selling local food in walking distance from Changi airport?
I have five hours between flights at Changi Airport and Scoot made me collect my bags between them, meaning I'm not airside.
My favourite thing in Singapore is the cheap traditional food in the local foodcourts all over the place known locally as "hawker stalls".
I feel like strolling around. In there such a hawker stall near the airport, in walking distance?
(For the sake of this question I don't want to use public transport at all thanks.)
Best Answer
The canteen I stumbled upon was much smaller than the others at Changi Airport that jpatokal revealed. It's also less comparable to an actual hawker stall
This one is called "Yan's Cafe" and was kind of in an outside edge of the Terminal 2 building according to a reference to it I found online though at the time I thought it was the Terminal 3 building.
I enjoyed what I consider a pretty typical Singaporean canteen meal.
Most of the customers seemed to be local taxi drivers, shuttlebus drivers, etc, rather than uniformed airport staff as in jpatokal's amazing answer.

Answer 2
Google maps claims there is, with Hai Chang Fishhead Steamboat being identified as a Hawker Stall.
It appears to be a part of the Tampines Round Market, so is likely not the only one there.
I can't get it to give walking directions, but it's about 4-5km if I eye-ball the distance, so for me that's walking distance, but YMMV.
A blog review or two are available online if you'd like some photos.
