- 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.

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)
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 !
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!
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.
Amazing Delonix. Super cute, super determined/focused. Smart thinking and a big source of pride for your family and the community !!
I am glad that Delonix made the change before its too late. All the best for your future endeavours

Such a down to earth and eloquent young man! “Focus on the small wins”. Such wise words! Extremely relatable in a world that seek instant/fast gratification. 行行出状元, I wish you the best Delonix!
He is simply amazing!
An honourable job!
Be proud of yourself!
Hard work !
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 😂😢
He actually speaks well, eloquent, well done 3rd gen!
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
Very well spoken delonix! You have a bright future ahead do not give up!!! 😊
Well done Delonix. So proud of your transformation and achievement.
Well done Delonix for changing for the better. Wishing you n your family every success in your future endeavours.
P/s: You speak very well. 👍
He is young, handsome, and dangerous of course social media like him. kudos for you.
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.👏🏻💫🌺
Well done, young man for turning it around. Please keep up the good work.
well done and thanks for keeping our traditions alive

I don’t watch Tik Tok. Can anyone tell me where is his store? Thanks
🙏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.
Delonix you did verry well🎉
His teochew really no joke considering his age.
Young man 💪💪💪💪💪
Truly inspiring!
Since you wake up early it’s advisable to sleep early .. warm water is good to energise energy
Willing to learn its not a problem
Awesome!

For those who were once jail birds you have 2 choices in life after release
1. Sell fishballs
2. Be Batman
His English is very difficult to understand.
Why singapore fishball and yong tau fu seem like fake meat? All white paste fish meat, it is look fake...Cant make better yong tau fu seem like yong tau fu at malaysia?
The real crime their parents did is name their kid delonix
Better than your Adolf wannabe for sure😂
What's wrong with that? A name is a name
He should wear gloves. Touching fish for so long will his skin will not be good and not hygiene touching fish with his bare hands
Yes, he should also wear mask and PPE suit too
Chef pairs of hands are the cleanest. Do you know how many times does a chef washes his or her hands in a day? Go find out or you may ask a chef.
@@user-ks7er6kp6s They go toilet and hold their bro and never wash hand..How u know? You got spot check? or remain at nail...so are you chief?
At least his father got something for him to work
