Lee kuan yew and lee sian loong.i am malaysian by the way.
So many old hawkers, I worry that years down the road, hawker culture will be no more 😢
Btw, if you’re interested in pasar malam, there’s a big one at Yishun mrt. I like the purple sweet potato balls there, handmade on the spot plus is chewy one.
Always lik to patronise this chap cai Peng stall. Thumb up👍👍👍🎉
Kudos to all the old hawkers 👍👍😉
The most famous stall in this FC – Koka Wanton Mee opens at 930/1030 PM …. it’s legendary to the point that pple come 1 to 2 hrs b4 opening to quene 😱 …. Ate it once long ago but never went back (so can’t remember the taste anymore) as it’s too much work to spend the whole night just to queue for 1 noodle …. Maybe you need to come back again at night
Go od mo ring you like ma
The uncle that made hokkien Mee, have you ever filmed him before? he looks so familiar
Oh it's true. Older hawker owners are sometimes not the "friendliest" to film 😂😂😂
why show your handsome face ????
Thumb up👍👍👍
Wah I didn't know North bridge road got hawker centre there… Really birds don't want to lay eggs
drive pass so many times by never been there, always ended up in Beach Road hawker. Will try one day. Recently been seeing few youngsters running hawker stalls. Hope for our local food.
Thanks for covering this. In the 90s when I was in primary school this was even more old school – two storey with market below and hawker upstairs, very wet smelly and dirty. I loved the char kueh (similar to chye tau kueh) by the old couple, sibeh song. They moved to this renovated hawker but Im not sure retired which year. Hope they are still well.
Where exactly is this place ? Any landmark around
The Hokkien mee serving so big? Wasn’t this big when I went there a month ago to try. I don’t quite like their chilli as I prefer sambal belachan. I requested for extra pork lard the auntie ask me pay $1 for more. I rejected. In the end I went to the infamous prawn mee stall and get more fresh fried pork lard since I’m also getting the prawn noodles.
The prawn noodle is a must go every time I’m there. Huge serving and so many prawns just for $4/$5. Another famous stall is the yong tau foo at the right row 1st stall from the left. The ah pek do the coffee also make very nice coffee.
I think this hawker centre was renovated about 7 years ago. Before this, it was a two-storey building with more stalls.
Thank u
Regarding the newly opened Urban Hawker in NYC, I've not visited yet but from Yelp photos, I can see the marketplace is really nice, housing up to 17 stalls . However, the prices are steep even by NYC standard. Average entrees are USD 15-20. Hainan chicken rice is $19; oyster omelette is $17 and portion is small; murtabak is $15; white beehoon is $17, etc. Too rich for my blood. There are several Malaysian/Singaporean restaurants in NYC that serve very good, authentic food and do not leave a hole in yr pocket. They are located in the Chinatowns in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn.
