At 90, Leong Yuet Meng is probably the oldest working hawker legend in Singapore. Throughout her 60 years in the business, she has taken five disciples under her wings while safeguarding our hawker culture.
Despite her age, she shows no signs of slowing down. She is up by 4:30 am every morning to make her trip to the wet market to buy fresh ingredients. Her motivation? Simply going to work and serving that simple bowl of wonton noodles to her customers.

Hi everyone, thank you for all the kind comments left to Ah Po! Ah Po's son have gotten into contact with us recently and we were told that they have stopped operating at Far East Square. Due to the end of their lease and COVID-19, Ah Po is taking a break from business. When the COVID-19 situation gets better, they will source for a new location and Ah Po will be back in action! Meanwhile, Ah Po is still safe and healthy :) Do look out for their future updates here: facebook.com/namsengnoodles/ For the time being, stay safe everyone!

Just burst into tears after hearing her cute voice saying what would you like to eat. It's like life has been so gentle and kind to her.

@Ryuga11 4 года назад

I felt even if it's very subtle, but very important point, that she faces the end of lives in a very subtle way. "I could even say bye bye now", but still she would wake up everyday and face life as usual, what more is she enjoys it. Feels like she have a lot of story to tell and we could learn a lot from it.
