- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Step into the world of Singapore's hawker culture with our debut episode, A Hawker’s Tale - where we experience the hustle and bustle of their daily routine!
Meet Delonix Tan, a former delinquent who transformed his life through his family’s fishball business, San Dai Fishball. From waking up at midnight just to prepare for his Sunday morning duties, this 26-year old third generation hawker works throughout the night while most people are still asleep.
It’s a far cry from his life he used to live, but he’s determined and filled with passion to keep the Sandai Fishball legacy alive.
Address:
SanDai Fishball 三代鱼圆 (Heng Kee Fishball & Yong Tau Fu)
22 Lor 7 Toa Payoh, #01-82, #01-83 Kim Keat Palm Market, Singapore 310022 (Closed on Weds and Fri)
I realise dad is always hovering behind him within the interviews, his way of showing silent support and encouragement. It’s how the older generation does it, not through flowery verbatim. So proud of you Delonjx, true son of Singapore! Jia you!,💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Kudos to you Delonix.Not many many young people would do this trade especially like wake up early in the wee hours. Oh you speaks Teochew as well.Applaud cos nowadays people hardly can speaks dialect. Keep it up
Delonix, could you remember Mr Thong, the retired MOE teacher who wrote about you and Sandai? Finally, I got the chance to see you at work. I was extremely pleased to hear you speak English so very well! Keep up your very good work! It is not surprising that your fishballs and Yeong Taufu are of high standard! I am confident that you will succeed in your endeavours with your perseverance! I look forward to meeting you at your stall
I can see yr dad is v proud of you he is of the generation that don’t know how to praise their children. I m sure he is really happy
Nice to see younger generation continuing traditional business. Happy for him and his family.
Technically 3rd gen
You nail it, Delonix. Here is a young guy who is smart enough to know very well his comparative advantage and takes the less trodden path. I see hopes for young Singaporeans and don't look down on gangs or chow ah beng out there, they could be our very own untapped talent pool because they are garang and possess the guts to be great entrepreneurs and more importantly, many of them are street smart, educated and well spoken too. They just need a chance !
So proud of seeing young Singaporeans rising up and revitalising a trade that may die off 🎉 May you continue to persevere and innovate in your craft. God bless!
Love this episode, thanks Miss Tam Chiak for having this remarkable young man on your series! Clearly Delonix is very passionate about his family business, could see the sparkle in his eyes n hear it in his voice. He speaks very well too! Now I know where to get the real deal (not a fishball fan for the exact reasons he cited, ie. others mix starch in their fish paste n I’m sensitive to gluten) 😊👍🏼 Keep your family business blooming Delonix!
I am glad that Delonix made the change before its too late. All the best for your future endeavours
Ah beng where got speak so good England?! He's not an ah beng, he is an eloquent and hardworking entrepreneur with a spirit of grit and determination. Well done Delonix and continue to suceed!
Amazing Delonix. Super cute, super determined/focused. Smart thinking and a big source of pride for your family and the community !!
Well done for turning over n persevering to change for the better.
Stay focused n dream big.
I look forward to visiting your stall soon.

Good content team. Delonix is eloquent as well
So many nugget of wisdom, i feel that he is very humble and darn wise
Delinix can speak good English and very smart. I am sure he will be a big entrepreneur in no time. Wish him well
Im not a certified fishball expert, but as someone who eats yongtaufoo 3-4 times a week, the quality of his food is really good. The story and his age aside, the food does speak for itself
Kudos Delonix. Glad to see that you overcome the bad and decided to take the right path. Congratulations 🎉. Keep up the good effort. You'll be successful. Jiayou 💪
Eh.. did someone put onions in the fish balls?
What an inspiring story. Delonix is so matured and insightful beyond his years.
Stay strong. You are actually good looking. Use your looks and the way you carry yourself. Bring your family business forward. ❤

He actually speaks well, eloquent, well done 3rd gen!
虽然是家族事业,但是可能是时候请外人帮忙材料的准备过程。
我的年纪比Delonix大7岁却一事无成。
我觉得他应当觉得自豪,不止愿意吃苦,在镜头面前也讲得一口流利的英语 佩服佩服
Modern ah beng ❤🎉 n hope he can sustained even without his parents 😂😢
Very well spoken delonix! You have a bright future ahead do not give up!!! 😊
Respect to you, Delonix! Hope you open a shop in Malaysia too, I wish to try your fishball🎉🎉🎉
Delonix is so cute, so good- looking. 🤦🏻♀️I’ll ignore the tatts as it seems I’m clearly out of step with the trend; everyone else thinks they’re trendy nowadays. Though he says he didn’t do well in school, he’s obviously highly intelligent, with oodles of business “smarts.”
His next step is to find the right kind of wife who will be a 100%supportive of him, because he rightly identified that he needs younger family members when his dad’s generation retire. That business brain of his also means expansion in the future. Supportive because he has strong leadership qualities, and you can’t have 2 leaders in a marriage.
Well done for changing the path that you were on, Delonix. Good luck. Rooting for your bright future.👏🏻💫🌺
Swee la. From SCDF save lives, now save family business! Awesome, keep up the good work. May you prosper!
His handmade fishball looks giantic and bouncy..Gotta try it some other day..Jiayou Delonix!
He is simply amazing!
Well done, young man for turning it around. Please keep up the good work.
Congrats and Best wishes Delonix .. amazing how many fishballs do they make in a day,wow!!
Very eloquent chap....speaks better than engineers and many other graduates (no offense ya)! Very matured, responsible and sensible for a 26yo. Impressive young man, keep it up! I'm sure his parents are very proud of him though they may not express it
So attractive energetic working guy❤

🙏Thank you, 💐Miss Tian Chiak for letting us know there's a stall which still makes fishballs with 100% fish meat🐟. I'll go there to buy a lot for myself and my neighbours👨👩👧👦👨👩👧👦. It's hard to find real fishballs nowadays as most are 90% flour* and only 10% fish meat.
Good job. Keep it up. You can do it. Good looking, filial son & hard work you will do well.
My ex-colleague turned from Ah Beng to pharmacist! 😂😂
