Great to see young generations getting into their family business. Is also great that you support the local hawker stores too… really missed it a lot!!!
Hi my fav Hawker centre UA-camr! In a dilemma whether I should recommend another happening hawker centre in AMK cos it's oredi packed every weekend... Its not far from Chong Boon HC. 😁 Chicken shredded noodles stall 2nd generation super long queue. Promise you won't find it anywhere else.
So lovely memories of the teow chew bakut teh when you said that you grandfather was teow chew! Mine too from mother's side! I am hainanese and a cook, love your videos! Am currently looking at your videos one by one!
Wow! A cook watching my videos 😄 I'm honored. Hainanese + Cook.. immediately reminds me of Hainanese Pork Chop rice 😄 where Western food is made better in Asia. Haha.. apologies for making that association.. maybe you're a French Cuisine Chef 😀
Piggypuggy, ooohhhh, this video brings back soooo many memories, especially that spice store with Markus, 3rd generation owner. When I was a kid, I always tag along with my Mom to the Tiong Bahru wet market. She always stop by that indian curry paste store owned by an old Indian man. His curry paste was to die for and this store is exactly like that old Indian man's curry paste stall. He practically has everything you need, just tell him what curry you want to make - mutton, chicken, sotong, fish,.....- he will extract the appropriate spice paste mix for you. That is what this young man is doing. My Mom makes the best curry because of that old Indian man's spice mix. Gosh, I really miss this kind of store and it is really a niche! This is an excellent find as it makes cooking curry so easy. 👍😜 My other favorite is the provision store that has so many goodies - nice chunks and different varieties of tofu, noodles, bao, bak chang, achar, nice kuehs and pastries, really a wonderful one-stop shop! A big cup of soy bean drink for only S$1? Unreal...I love mee siam, always hits the spot! Another good one, thanks for the entertainment, appreciate your efforts.😊🤣👍🤣😁
Haha.. As a kid.. I hated goin to Tiong Bahru market.. it’s always wet and stuffy and noisy.. all those squeeze lanes filled with Chinese kiam chai and other preserved food smells. Aunties bags of wet sticky meats and fish keep brushing against me.. 😂🤣😅 how did it turn out that this kid who disliked wet markets end up with such a passion??? My favourite has gotta be 1. The yu char kway man making you tiao. 2. The fresh chicken umm.. coz I was both emotionally disturbed at how chickens were processed and yet I want to see it.. fishballs were my go to then.. followed by waiting at the Kopi stall aluminium chairs 😄 with packets of produce next to me.. it’s funny how our childhood brings back much memories.. These days not many of the mee generations learn to cook. Restaurants are just everywhere.. plus the stressful worklife of couples usually doesn’t encourage too much of such cooking culture and habits to be cultivated. Including myself who’s a total alien at cooking Asian dishes. I only started filming because it suddenly occured to me that all these things will really be gone forever in maybe 10years max.. most are already in their late 60s
Bad experience with Seng Kee Bak Kut Teh! Went there to order a bowl of BKT and a portion of pig trotter with 2 bowls of rice for myself. Was surprised to see double portions of the food @ $21.50 so reminded the old lady who took my order and the man (boss?) that I cannot finish so much as food only for myself. Both were soooo cocky and rude: told me off that for 2 bowls of rice they will give double portion. What??? So I insisted but they said that in that case I will not get the trotters! Will not go there even if they were the last ones around !
you refueled a bit too early, stomach full where got energy to carry on filming, plus your hands are full from takeaway. hahha, kidding only buddy. thanks for filming while getting your food.
Hahaha.. problem is.. all the hawkers wanna feed me 😂🤣😅 then if they insist.. very paiseh to reject 😅 but it’s really true.. after the food.. always tyre punchek already.. can’t really move on anymore.
Much of the hawkers won’t have kids taking over.. which is why I try to capture as many of such scenes before they retire. Which is probably in less than 10 years
Used to visit Kwai Luck regularly for mee siam. Hope the uncle is okay. I always add more mee siam 😅. Also regularly buy the pig trotters for my mom, she loves it. Basically, you covered the only 2 stalls that I frequent. 😄 But the cha bee hoon looks good 😋
For years I’ve been having nothin but mee siam.. you char kway.. and maybe some mixed bee Hoon from there. 😅 it’s like there’s no need to try the rest unless mee Siam is like sold out. It was actually my first time trying the Bak Kut Teh stall.. but it will certainly be on my list every time round from now onwards
Piggy mate, is there a term I can use with hawkers that gets across the idea of "Please give me some good food. You know, like what a lot of the locals enjoy"? "I don't have any allergies, religious hang ups or other such fussiness. I just want some good normally priced food!"
Haha Mark.. I can see you're such an enthusiat when it comes to trying hawker food.. I can advise you when you're here.. but honestly.. I think you'll get by just fine.. just walk around to see what others are eating.. or lining up for.. when it's your turn.. you can just point to what others are having.. or show them a pic of the plate you saw earlier.. chances are.. most will be able to speak some form of simple English. Like.. this one? That one? Yes? No? That's how I survived in Japan.. usually the only alien in a local izakaya.. I'd be pointing to whatever others are having.. or I'll just take a wild card and have whatever is served to me 😄
@@Piggypuggy Catch you when I get there Piggy. Oh, and have you ever been to Ballarat? The old town has many joys, but the food isn't one of them. After months stuck behind the 'ring of steel' I'm hungry.
@@Piggypuggy Yep, same Ballarat but I'm in a little tree change township just outside the main town called Buninyong. More coffee shops and healing centres than you can shake a stick at but no shops selling Roast Duck or Siu Yuk.
😂 must be a very healing place.. hope you don’t have to travel too far out to get some Chinese.. Geelong should have some decent ones given there’s a university there right? If not.. you should really experiment at making your your Chinese roasted pork belly (Sio Bak)
fab fab fab am so jealous as some one said before when i come over will you be my guide , i live for the likes of pig trotters and the like , old school favourites and eel and shell fish , wonderful your my kind of connesour of good food thanks , lee.
I wonder if you've experimented cooking your own pigs trotters.. 😂 hopefully remember to remove the hairs. UA-cam will surely have some great advise. I'm no expert.. but you can definitely send me comments.. I'll be happy to advise if I know where to get them 🐽
It’s funny how he started speaking English to me when I struggled with Conversing in Teochew with him 😂 I’m also surprised at how friendly he is given that his stall is always sooo in demand
It’s nice to see someone who’s willing to take over his grandmas and dads humble trade.. it’s also great that he continues to provide us useful advise on how to cook various curries 😄
Thanks for firming this market , missed this place where I stayed for the past 17 years as I had just moved out from this estate 😭 They have the nicest kopi O that I can't get in other place 😋 All the hawkers there are friendly .有人情味❤️price is reasonable also .
Yeah.. the kopi there never fails to satisfy.😄👍 what's your favourite there? I'm always goin for the same old thing.. Mee Siam or economic bee Hoon.. never even tried the rest like the Bak kut teh
@@Piggypuggy Sorry for the late reply 😅You can try the laksa + lor mee#01-17,not the best but taste decent .Night time got sell fried hokkien mee #01-12.Not bad and their chilli is super spicy ,try it !
@@ahleng6678 ohhh.. that Laksa… yes I think I’ve tried it before too! Ive never been here in the evenings thought 😄 I should try it. I would usually go to the one up the road at ave 10. Teck ghee. There’s got one Hokkien Mee too
@@Piggypuggy 😆 I can’t la.. I just exaggerate 😛.. not my kampung.. jus got the unit there couple of years ago but didn’t stay for long and rented out.. I seldom go that hawker too cos my block down itself have a coffee shop
@@Piggypuggy 😆.. no lah.. don’t see the need.. But I still remember the Lucky Soya bean drink stall.. I went back Sg 2 years ago and patronisied their stall.. friendly stall holders
*Singapore is for Foodies for Sure!*

Pleasure to be of service.. many of such building nation hawkers will probably retire by end of decade. Good to keep some memories
经济米粉也是40年好吃又便宜,肉骨茶也是一样的,,那米香也是卖很久了。Laksa 也是好吃。我住那里很久了。虽有搬去Ponggol住最后还是买回宏茂在娇靠近妈妈。
新一代 Ponggol 没有这种老一代的芭莎.. 好象没有这种气氛 😄
巴刹里这摊卖烧鸭,肉等等都好吃。我每次跟他买。
Haha 我家人也是跟他买 😁
Address please, the stall name
