Given the multitude of good quality food you can get in Singapore (and presumably also HK) I cannot imagine that there's a hawker stand worth waiting 90 minutes for. Am I missing something?

That's pretty true - quality of food in HK and SG really is at another level for certain cuisines (though options for decent European food are naturally fewer).

From what I've noticed, Asians seem to be more prepared to queue for a good meal.

Examples above aside, those in London need only to go to Kanadaya by Central St Giles to see queues galore.

Jury's out on whether this is a down to a great desire to experience good food or people being kiasu (fear of missing out)
