"Eating out" in the old days literally means eating outdoor. Be it hot under the sun, or cool if it is windy. But of course, if it rains, nobody in the right mind will stay outdoor!
Nowadays, apart from Hawker centre, most of the eating places are air-conditioned.
There are still some stalls with tables/chair arranged along the common corridor (五脚基) in some old neighbourhood (such as in Geylang, Chinatown areas).
Arguably, the ambience (weather, humidity, smell, wind factor) inevitably provide additional boost to the authencity and flavours of the food being served.
