TANGLIN HALT HAWKERS - SO WHEN IS IT REALLY CLOSING? 

Nailed it.. I give it another 5years or so

Actually hawker centres are run by NEA, HDB, JTC. They are run on the premise of keeping public food hygienic and affordable to the masses. In 2019, Singapore submitted its nomination to inscribe its hawker culture on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. So, I think we should actually appreciate the efforts of our government to raise the standards of hygiene and comfort while keeping prices affordable to the general masses. I don't find many privately run coffeeshops or foodcourt that is able to deliver such objectives. At the very least, most of the hawker centres have better toilets than poorly run coffeeshops (although it is getting better in the last 5 yrs).

@@Piggypuggy thanks by the way, you have a good mix of videos of Both cooking and eating/seeing the food ! this is a great video

@@mindtwister1984 If the best argument you can come up with is that the toilets are nicer, I think we can rest our case.

@@Ealsante if that is the only thing u can pick up from my comments, I rest my case too🤣😂

Heelloooo Jean.. this week Jiak simi? Not coming home anytime soon? But Bali needs you 😂

@@Piggypuggy I wanna see my folks but scared to go anywhere n get trapped away from hubs leh

@@JeanVoronkova apply b Sinkie too 😄 nvr mind laa.. video call can already. Meanwhile eat more beh tutu

Hahaha… thank you 😊🥰🥰 but if i didn’t kick myself out of the house.. I’d soon be the Jiak Zua (eat snake) King too 😂 ya know I didn’t catch the laksa man on a good day.. he was bit grumpy 😠😂🤣 but actually.. I think he’s usually ok I guess

Haha.. Thanks for subscribing 😍😍😍

Oh wow.. I haven’t even stepped foot on block 47. Right behind the Kopi I bought from? If you like lighter version of Laksa.. maybe can give it a go. I somehow tasted a bit of tangy or sourness to the Laksa soup.. Sungei road Laksa seems to be in between Katong and this.. just right for Goldilocks

@@Piggypuggy Hahaha....Goldilocks. That's an excellent allegory and comment! Hahahah.

Thanks for the tip JS. I shall try the fried bee Hoon next time. Isn’t it funny how some really quality stalls doesn’t have much publicity while many are just over hyped? One of the reasons why I rarely join the long queues. Many a times.. it’s monkey see monkey do.. and the results are not wwaaaaahhhh

Sounds like a perfect supper joint

@@Piggypuggy The chicken wing is not that great. Like quite skinny and dry. I think the porridge is the best dish.

Cannot let any precious ikan bills die for nothing.. and yeah.. go there and psst past.. Piggypuggy Special Plzz

Thank you Minnie 😁 it’s getting better.. i hope. Yeah.. isn’t it gonna be such a waste if those 60 year old rain tree is to be demolished too?? The Singapore government should set this whole area as National Heritage Conservancy.. always just demolishing the old.. terrible

Morning Mahani! Try the Malay food 😀😋 long queues sometimes doesn’t mean it suits your taste. Especially if the easties are used to that very lemak tiny bowl of Laksa

😂😅

Yes, can tell from the way the young lady questioned a customer. Old man looked grumpy.

Good to know!!!!

Yes.. all gave me consistent answers. Beside MRT. But due to covid. It’s delayed for over 6months now

@@Piggypuggy Delay longer... better. I will miss the old hawker here very much.

Haha.. I remembered your request for Lontong.. shame they ran out of it. But blessing was that the rest are really traditionally lemak.. their kitchen was a gooey mess.. but those are the signs of where patiently prepared food came from. These malay food really beats cai png anytime

Yeah.. many closed.. but you’ll still find something nice to eat there laa

Amazing right? 20 cents. Hawkers back then never really thought about making big money.. they put in maximum effort for minimal reward. Guess we have to visit less developed countries to find such hawkers.. even Malaysian hawkers are charging 6RM a bowl these days. Thanks to the rising cost of living

Morning! Basically.. not much life left.. but that Lontong stall does good lemak stuff 😋

Thank you 😊

Seoul?! Happy Holidays 🥳

@@Piggypuggy Thanks!

Hello Liz! High five 🙌🏼 on the Malay food.. I think most of them are lovingly prepared by owners themselves and the sauce usually takes a long time to cook. Shall Jalan down to have a leisurely lontong another day.. can’t enjoy while filming. Too busy meddling w camera. This place was supposed to be gone early this year.. but the hawkers told me the completion of the new place at Queenstown cinema was really delayed due to covid. But it’s kinda sad 😢 that government really wants to tear down this place.. it’s considered a historical monument.. just like how I don’t understand the tearing down of National Library back then.. it can easily be preserved or have new buildings built around to have historical landmarks cohabit with the modern high rise

@@Piggypuggy If it's not 'official' heritage, it's not heritage at all to the government. Look at the buildings that are lovingly preserved... almost all colonial era things.

I last week Pontang.. lazy bugger. Last night die die finish this for release today 😂

@@Piggypuggy pontang sometimes is always good for mental health I also desperately want to take some time off haha but dunno when. Now down w a bad cold…. Maybe nows the time!

@@JeanVoronkova sometimes I relak one corner (like gout) then alamak.. 1 week past Liao.. must psycho psycho myself to relak and live to fight another day. Cold huh? Massage will help? Mai Kan Zheong.. 🤣

Thank you 😊

Haven’t been to coffee shop at 47. You’re the 2nd person here who recommended it. Thanks. I’ll go check it out

Oh.. I didn't know that 😊 thanks for the info

I have been there for years. I especially enjoyed the laksa (lemak, order with your own combination,and friendly owner), prawn noodle (just right, same owner as laksa), chicken rice (comparable like any other delicious chicken rice-2 stalls), roast pork&duck (just right), breakfast beehoon with fc wings (tasty), min chiang kueh (perfectly chunky with lots of sugared peanut), wanton noodles (delicious).

Wow.. looks like you’re the Tua Pek Gong there 😂 just kidding.. your description of the stalls is enough to draw me back again.. while I was there.. most were lining up for laksa which over shadowed the rest which is equally worthy. I would love to try the bee Hoon and catch that min Chang kueh next time. Subscribers also recommended block 47 beside the market. Thanks for your delicious recommendations 😋

Even if they did demolish it.. they should have the new one built similar to the old structure along side the new 50storey residential blocks. It’s a way to remember and commemorate the old architectural designs

I share the same view as you. My dad love to take us there to eat so the memories are always treasured. Haha I just went there on 6/12/21 with my dad.

@@celestialstar124 any eating of 🦆 s involved? 😂 must be nice to have daughter accompany dad to Makan Makan 🥰

@@Piggypuggy nope we are BCM because I like the BCM there. 😊

Have to be patient 😄

What you want? See I can send over not.. 🤖 you Ahma so sweet 🥲 I’d love to come along too

@@Piggypuggy Aww that's sweet of you PP thank you, but thats okay I hope to get there before it closes down, she may have to pack up suddenly move unless she retires. My Ahma use to buy of course the gem biscuits, peanut candy and biscuits, sesame biscuits, love letters, wafers, and I remember those fruit candies in the colourful wrappers that were always sticky when you unwrapped them because of the heat and a gooey centre.

@@Morgan_Auyes.. and those crumbly peanut biscuits and wafers they call envelopes. Those sticky fruit cheweeys are what I had too. Even in Malaysia. They called Sugus Candy. There used to be a white peppermint sweet too. Rabbit candies. Hacks. And many more 😄

@@Piggypuggy Oh there were more but those were the ones I remember most just quickly off the top of my head . If I get there before it closes I'll send you a message

Hooi!! Hello Abang Harry 😀
