Ya... i saw tat post.

He's been cooking this same plate of CKT since the late 1960s when he learnt how to do it from a pushcart CKT seller. He said he was never good at his studies and was asked to help out at the pushcart.
He eventually had his own pushcart in the early 1970s where he was stationed near the post office in Queenstown, this was illegal back in the day and he had to run when the health inspectors (dae gu) came.
He eventually had his own stall, the familiar one many of us have come to love, at Margaret Drive. Over the years, he has always been the same friendly, smiling man, frying up plate after plate of CKT. It accompanied many of us growing up, as a child, going to school, ns, work, having our own family..
His dedication to serving up the same plate of quality CKT, having a smile for his customers while standing there in front of the hot wok doing this back breaking work every day for 54 years. I respect the hell out of this man and I'm going to miss his CKT.
Have a happy retirement Mr Low, you brought joy to a lot of people.

I just ate hwa Heng beef noodle. The preparation for order is not fast because too many combinations and many steps. So queue is very long. But they are hardworking and master cook. Very kind hearted also.

He is very nice. I remember when I asked for more lard at Margaret drive, he will the turner to take out quite a bit of fried lard and asked "enough"? with a pleasant smile, I said ok and thank you. His cockles are big and many pieces in a plate.

so totally closed for good? damn, no chance to try now. why his stall never appeared in my search result when I googled for good char kway teow nighttime before?

Imagine using ghost writers for your food blog.
Guy is just running a business, collects income from advertisements from restaurants, and has close to zero involvement in trying all the food and restaurants that he features.

so sethlui is collecting income from the places he reviewed? i never trusted their reviews

 

[Geminiboy]

So far, I still havent been able to find a really nice HKM and prawn noodle soup.

have you tried the prawn noodle at tekka market? usually sold out by 1pm. it’s not about having big prawns.

 

[Geminiboy]

Nowadays hawkers also become like stars, can arrange photo session!

this one not very clever. should retire with $1m cash selling recipe to some dumb investor

 

[Kunkka]

Not sure abt that. 22nov is jus a meet up.
Till now since he has not open stall.
Haizzz...
I wanna savour one more time to lock the taste.
There were a few hawker gems that retired and I had missed those dishes last days.

Which gems

 

[LocalRider]

Dun worry got foreigners LTVP incoming to take over.

Be prepared eat chicken briyani or mala guo every day.

TBH, now the youngsters also don’t really want to do grunt work, if they set up stall, they set up to sell something like gourmet coffee or western spaghetti. Or fried bee hoon, everything fried. So hawker culture also changing.

Go tekka outlet if you want to eat. That is the real deal.

that’s right. there are a handful of quite good ones but i’m not a prawn noodle fan. the tekka one is the only one i would truly want to repeat visit.
