Most tze char stalls are commonly found throughout the country's hawker centres and kopitiams located in the heartlands of Singapore, [b] selling dishes of Singaporean cuisine. Hence,most of them are usually found in a casual,non air-conditioned setting. Nonetheless,a handful of tze char stalls do have their own air-conditioned dining area as well,and in those without them,ceiling fans are often present as a government policy. [2]
