Chef Yeo was the head chef overseeing my wedding banquet dinner in 2016. Extremely nice chap, humble and talented cook. My guests were full of praises for the high quality food that night. Am happy to see that he has came out on his own to pursue his dreams. Will definitely go support him👏🏻👍🏻
I don't live in the area but happened to pass by a few months back and tried their noodles during the no dine-in period of COVID. I've never heard of them but patronised the store for the first time. Both my partner and I were pleasantly surprised at how delicious their food is. The texture of the noodles, the uniqueness of the dried chili, and the freshness of the fried dumplings!
The boss is also very thoughtful: as the noodles were take-away, he nicely tossed them and ensured that the sauce was mixed evenly before transferring them into the box. This ensured that the noodles didn't turn clumpy and that every strand was coated evenly even after we reached our destination. A small gesture like this went a long way and was appreciated!
Was surprised that this store was not famous and I'm glad that it is finally, and deservedly so, getting some air-time on social media :) The food is very reasonably priced as well and the boss is generous in the amount.
Will definitely return if I am in the area and if I am free, will travel down again to show support!
Money does not buy happiness. This man may be living modestly, but he's happy and his own boss. I respect this and wish him all the best.
I stay at Telok Blangah and my family patronises the stall regularly . My husband likes the brown rice meehoon. Is healthy and delicious. My daughter tends to like their fried kway teow. For me I like all. Recently we tried the fried fish head meehoon with black beans. Is yummy. The couple is very hardworking, humble and polite. I wish them 生意兴隆
total respect to see the owner putting quality before cost saving,
A very humble guy who’s also honest to provide fresh and authentic ingredients to his customers. God will bless you abundantly 🙏🙏🙏
感觉这个厨师很踏实，很努力，心地好，用料实在，不会之徒利润！而且心态也很好，这种生意店我百分之百支持！希望他们的生意越做越好！
Dish looks simple yet appetizing..Owner sounds very humble and sincere. Wish I live in Sg lol; Will definitely visit the next time i am at Sg...
Great example of someone who enjoys doing what they do for the pleasure of the consumer and not for his own pockets.
Yes! His ban mian is very good. 👍I hv been patronised his stall quite often. His ingredients r very fresh.
I stay at telok blangah drive. Ate this stall's dumplings before. Tastes very good. Highly recommended.
yo can i just say, i appreciate the person who designed his stall front. the good use of accent red to tie from top of signboard to circles on the menu. then the actual attention to subtle detail, playing "ban" into the font type selected for chinese wording on the signage, very similar to mahjong tile wording......and that smart use of the typical chinese frame around the yanan mark...!!! very nice la! good job! idk if you were paid a lot for it, but it felt like u knew the stall owner well and you made the store front very "him".
Is rare to see hawker put quality over cost saving. Kudos! Will come try sometime soon!
Hard work and dedication. I wish them all the success that they deserve.
Omg, if I am not mistaken, he used to be a sous chef back at Westin Singapore, as I was carrying out my internship there. Hope that all goes well for him.
Yes he mentioned it at the beginning of the video. His food is always yummy and all individually crafted.
@@lindawibowo1532 yeah, no wonder he looked familiar 😂
Start a corner for public who wish to sponsor a few meals for the elderly or less privilege there. It will make you happier and even more people will get to have a taste of your food.!💪
I will definitely support to sponsor meals for Elderly & Less privilleged
You have one often supporter here! Love the soup and the youmian soup is my top choice! Gambateh Chef Yeo!
Singapore hawker actually have all lot of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...
I'll try your dishes if I happen to be around there, it definitely looks delicious, keep up the positive attitude uncle.
I have tried this a few times and it's great. I feel a bit bad I haven't gone more often. There's a lot of other great people and food at this centre too so it's hard to choose :)
Hi
Latest updates: I've just checked with Chef John, he said thr is Online Order from Mon - Fri only but if thr are overwhelming Orders he'll indicate in the System "Busy" temporary stop taking Orders.
He opens from 8am - 3pm but the less crowded timing at 10am on weekdays
if it is nice, no worries, queue will start forming. North south east west will drive all the way there😁 Singaporean can drive long way for food.
Yes no doubt they can drive long wat for food. But they can’t wait for their food. Always want spot on cash n carry asap.
In sg, we can afford a lot of nice foods. Really appreciate for the hawker to spend long hour in kitchen to provide us all the delicious and affordable foods.
This man is simply, noodly beautiful. Seriously...
Just the the sheer, sincerity and skill of cuisine - you can taste it across the screen. I salute you good man. Goodness...
Keep it up! Next time when I m back in SG....I will drop by to support! I loveee mee hoon kuey!! 😁😇🥰
There’s something so genuine about him 👍🙏. Will go try!
I live at telok blangah but I haven't tried his ban mian, will be trying it out soon :)

Media corporation the music 🎶🎶🎶 very nice leh. Nexttimes can louder a bite the music 🎶🎶🎶 volume. Tq very much awesome 👍😍❤️ and this times boss telling us his hawker stall address and location unit fantastic awesome 👍😍❤️ too
But the q system is confusing . Need to place order before joining the main q. If not for customers who told me , I would not have known . Cos there’s no signage about this order/queue system .
Let’s go
Yes, let's go! My breakfast menu for tomorrow.
@@mindtwister1984 I like the response, I can’t go tomorrow. But will be there on Saturday., see everyone there. Support local businesses.
@@jamessun318 Tried it this morning. Noodles were perfectly done, sauce savoury sweet, and the soup was superb with a tint of umami and seaweed. Had the $5.50 dry version, excellent.
Nevertheless there is fierce competition from this hawker centre, long queues at wanton mee, fishball noodle and carrot cake.
@@mindtwister1984 thanks for the update. Will certainly try it tomorrow morning.
Support
伙伴看起来很勤劳！，加油！！
wow do they have delivery?
The current Covid situation is not going away soon and it will be good if he links up with food delivery service to expand his customers' base.
Anyone knows their opening hours? Would like to support but always end work late
Yum
UH YUMMY
Great video!
你很棒，加油。谢谢你的付出，🤝我一定要去支持你。我为你向上帝祷告：神会眷顾和保佑你和你的家人。阿门🙏。
I've order grab food delivery from this store before. For me, the ban mian noodle is so so only, can't feel the handmade texture. The broth has a lot of anchovies in it, I feel like it would be better if they strain out the anchovies from the broth as I think the soup will be better without those soggy anchovies residue. Maybe the dry version will be better, gonna try next time.
On the other hand, their char kuey teow is really really good and I like it very much, got wok hei, big fresh prawn, lap cheong and is very flavorful. I recommend char kuey teow over the ban mian.
The fried dumplings taste not bad la, but the size is very much smaller than the standard fried dumplings.
You order grab food of course soggy lah, next time just dine in lah then do a proper review
Wow, uncle is 5star hotel chef lasttimes.fans which MRT station must we alight and how to reach there

No shame in hawker food, I prefer that than some pompous MasterChef esk professional wank factor “food” any day…
Uncle Yeo. Fans said your's noodle 🍜 ☕is very delicious 😋😍❤️ yummy. But feels that your's title only blue and white a bite plain. Maybe should adds in your's noodle 🍜 picture likes the Prawn 🍤 noodle 🍜 ☕ looks extremely delicious. Because some times we buy foods and drinks is by Our's eyes 👁️👁️👁️ sense. Foods and drinks picture looks good should be very attractive. And you and your's partner is hubby and wife or just partner. Just curious.
餐饮赚的都是辛苦钱，不容易啊
I am muslim and I like chinese food, but its hard to find halal chinese food stall
For the money 💰
Looks like that gym guy @pioneer
Preparing foods better wearing gloves and doing noodle 🍜 with the machine must be careful of ✋ too
Pot so dirty😱🙈
Chef is funny, not profitable he still doing ? Hahaha
Too long winded.....stop watching .
3 mins can le
Ex mean last time cooked not nice. Then go to hawker worst. Maybe Pasar malam
Alternative title. Chef got fired.
Life is about change. I've got fired about 5 times , the hardest is working at a place that is dysfunctional or going bankrupt or outgrown...Wow, good for you Chef, definitely a good move. Alamak tuan, I forgot to tell, I am in Calgary , Alberta, Canada so I'm missing the great food of M'sia/Singapore....Will try when I get back to Asia.
chef with this kind of work experience can find a job easily, if he want
