What are Singapore's hawker centers?

Maxwell Food Centre, Lau Pa Sat, and Chinatown Complex are the most famous. A full meal with a drink costs approximately SGD 5 to 10 (€3 to €7).
Is chewing gum banned in Singapore?
Chewing gum is heavily restricted (not outright banned for all types), but it is illegal to import or sell chewing gum without a prescription. The stereotype is broadly correct that the rule is enforced. Visitors should not bring gum into Singapore.
Is Singapore a good base for exploring Southeast Asia?
Excellent. Singapore is one of the world's greatest aviation hubs, with Singapore Changi Airport consistently ranked number one globally. From Singapore, flights to Bali, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, and Manila are cheap and frequent. A few days in Singapore plus regional Southeast Asia is a popular itinerary.
