Restarting a hawker business at 72 years old: Min Jiang Kueh Uncle

[@theweatherisaokay4964]

Despite his shaky voice talking about his past, but talking bout his business and his food makes him smile broadly. Wishing him well and healthy.

[@eeren2560]

Can we have more of this kind of wholesome stories, please? These kind of stories would bring, sincere smiles, in everyone's heart. Times are tough and rough as it is already. It's better than watching politician celebrity-reality-tv news. Which, brought nothing but a sense of betrayal, disappointment and despair in many rakyat's heart!

[@eeren2560]

@Kzaxrtij Skather I don't know. When my great great great grandpa left Ireland, the first food he took to love, on this peninsula, was Sambal Petai Prawns. He loved the Terang Bulan of Krontjong Ensemble Pantja Warna. He found the Chinese girls here, were quite bold and warrior spirit. My great great great grandma, who was amongst them, was the fiercest fire cracker, that was excellent in translation from English to Malay to Chinese. Today, I am simply humbled by such nostalgic stories.

[@eeren2560]

@Kzaxrtij Skather you're welcome, and mind your manners.

[@eeren2560]

@ELIJAH SHAKRAVARNA NG Moe Yes...wow...such a pleasent surprised 😯. I believe that, each and everyone of us carry some special talent, gift or history to add to our island paradise nations of South East Asia... regardless ethnicity or nationality. Thank you so kindly 😊.

[@Rita25231984]

I went to eat before. The kuehs are yummy. Uncle & auntie are very humble people. Please go support them.

[@siynvlog9507]

when he had teary eyes my heart can't 😭 jiayou !! ❤️

[@jareth7971]

Never underestimate the power of the human spirit.

[@frankieteo6659]

May God Bless Uncle Teo to be still strong and healthy... cheers..

[@gha9543]

Love and respects for these SG pioneers that have very little opportunities but lots of talents to leave us a legacy of hawker food and culture. I love their tenacities to overcome the odds to survive in SG despite the high rental cost and long working hours . Their life of service is commendable as they work not for profits but being revelant and independent despite their advance age. Singaporean pioneers waste not and want not because their life is a continue struggle against a ever increasing living costs in SG. I salute them and respect their independence. Majulah Singapura !

[@paulchew6963]

At least the Old man has good heart 💓 and kind to the elderly same as him. Very touching speech and great testimony.

[@dawniieeemeoww]

Hi, please do more of these stories - not only does it give these uncles and aunties more recognition and thus improving their business but it also helps us to understand the hardships they went through and they have a platform to share their stories ☺️💕

[@schadenfreude6274]

Yes is true. Its more convenient to sit at home and relax and watch KZbin video about their story and post some inspirational encouraging comments to make me feel better. :)

[@catechin29]

Uncle Teo... you put me to shame with your toned muscles. Continue to stay healthy, and blessed.

[@3208enrique]

Uncle god bless you. Love you♥️ Stay healthy!

[@roytary9862]

Uncle Teo, wish you good health and happiness. I'm very inspired by your story. Your life is a life of honesty, and perseverance. I'm going to drive all the way down to your shop to buy your delicious Min Jiang Kueh for my family, and neighbour. Keep on keeping on, and thank you for being such an amazing example to our generation and the many generations to come.

[@jingmok]

Love this uncle’s strength of spirit

[@AC-iz7eh]

This uncle very inspiring and he's still so fit for a 72 year old 👍🏻

[@sweedy6647]

You can tell he really went hard on the labouring jobs. Reminds me of old men in anime who are secretly OP.

[@ZWang2023]

The spirit of Singapore, hard-working people. Respect!

[@cmwchay]

I’m so glad I clicked. Haven’t been to Buangkok area but I promise I’ll find my way there soon.

[@alexwan1254]

This should be played regularly in all local universities.

[@roytary9862]

This should be sent to all teenagers all over the world.

[@Niatnuom_Esiotrot]

Meritocracy offers personal flattery and is the most self-congratulatory of all distribution principles.

[@andyng5321]

why should it be played in all local univerities?

[@schadenfreude6274]

I agree. The degree you are studying now is useless when you are old and retrenched. Its better to keep fit and be able to clean tables, do food delivery just in case. :)

[@daishi74]

Will buy from the uncle for sure. Lets give our support.

[@ahniu7811]

Dont just give "pretentious" positive comments here. Such comments dont mean much without real actions. Go support him in action. Buy from this uncle.

[@rachellechow7978]

[@pokeriabhrnftan7488]

Grandpa is Mr Teo ah bee. Not wonder so hardworking. His stall name call Kueh Pulau Pinang. Address is at Buangkok Cresent, BLK 982, Singapore 530982. Wow, very awesome 👍😍❤️ leh. Grandpa got red bean adds peanut 🥜 flavour. His flavour also my favourite 🌻❤️🌻⛅⛅🌞 but Our's side only one Red bean or peanut or coconut 🥥 can not mix leh.

[@pokeriabhrnftan7488]

[@RonLarhz]

He more muscle than alot youngsters 🤣🤣🤣

[@winchellchong7816]

His teary eyes :(

[@kobekobekobekobekobe]

Uncle 😭😭😭 so touching and simple

[@celestialstar124]

This single portion type is not commonly seen already. Most stall make the bigger portion type n then cut into smaller sizes to sell. I prefer the single portion type cos the crisp is there.

[@schadenfreude6274]

Very inspirational. Don't complain about no jobs in Singapore. There are plenty of good jobs like cleaning tables, do Food Delivery or selling Min Jiang Kueh for Singaporeans. :)

[@melginger3794]

Wonderful attitude

[@6912191]

I love this bit!

[@detgirl11]

When he said its my last sword and I am drawing it I suddenly saw him as this mighty warrior.

This guy is so strong!

[@guru6831]

Beautiful murtabak manis.

[@krollpeter]

Good luck to uncle Teo and his wife! One day I also come and try.

[@RayMak]

It may be tough. But situation is much better in Singapore right now.

[@caishenhuang3732]

All the best to you.

[@danthekong]

As a developed country and one of the highest income per capital, is there no social security like gov pension for the old folks?

[@wargodlegend]

Will go down try it . I like traditional food

[@slimyshady]

wah uncle respect la...

[@mrduck5332]

In year 1990s he ever opened one store selling this at yishun block 761 but business so so only than closed.

[@fgg5978]

张老板，不妨习惯下，用不锈钢夾子耒翻那面煎粿， 同时，不要加植物黄油 马芝冷margarine，那是真正的反式脂肪，人体是不能分解的，会堵大动脉血管， 祝 身体健康，生意兴隆。

[@mingology7767]

This is what happening in SG for those reaching retirement age now, companies claimed that if these old folks don’t leave the young ones cannot promote, but old ones leave and no income to feed the young ones that still has not reach employment age, then will have to go work like this uncle…

[@MarkzOng]

Whoever thumb down really have no soul ...

[@exas4791]

How to help him other than buying from him ?

[@kwekstanley3030]

Buy a ton of gloves for him

[@cliveng3918]

What he said is the unspoken truth we all know but never acknowledge. The good hearted and hardworking people will always be taken advantage of by unscrupulous employers and will always remain as workers for these bastards, no matter how hard they work. Being stepped on while their superiors rise higher stepping on his head.

[@lycan2494]

Put some Respek on this ah gong

[@mattghoward]

being let go because he could not read is a bad thing - why could the company not read the documents to him?

[@p6h14]

Business people.. they would rather hire someone else who can do things quicker

[@dranon0o]

I came here to learn about Singapore, not to feel bad T_T

[@chateytung]

72 is still young if you are a politician

[@MountainMoo]

从uncle眼神里，可以看得出，他在年轻时被人吃的无奈，被人欺负读的书少。。
