Saved From Closure By A Fellow Hawker

[@OGS.Official]

Hi everyone, thanks showing your support to Ah Gek and Ah Choo! To answer some of your queries on why Ah Choo lost her stall, which isn't exactly covered in the video, the stall owner of Ah Choo's previous location wanted to take back the place so she was given the due notice before she eventually moved out. If you are heading down to their stall for the first time, here are some things to note: - As there are two stalls sharing the space, the queue to order might get messy, especially during lunch time. If you are confused about how to queue or where the queue starts, go up to Ah Choo and Ah Gey personally to ask. They will be more than willing to direct you. - Ah Gek's carrot cake (Heng Heng Cooked Food) is usually sold out around noon. Do head down early to avoid disappointment. - When ordering noodles from Ah Choo (Ah Mei Handmade Noodle), remember to state the following: (1) noodles to be soup or dry, (2) for dry noodles, if you want chilli or non-chilli, (3) your egg to be fully cooked or uncooked, and (4) for soup noodles, if you want your soup to be separately packed. Do be patient with the hawkers as they are also learning along the way on how to serve you better!

Heya OGS team! I wonder if you guys have a sticker that these aunties and uncles can put in front of their stall saying like, "Featured on OGS" or "Watch our story on OGS" with a QR code of their interviews. I think that will be a nice way for their stories to reach more people 🥺

[@chanyalee2823]

This is such a great suggestion!

[@redmachine7312]

Genius idea!

[@OGS.Official]

Hi Melinda! We've actually recently designed and printed these stickers for our hawker or tradesmen profiles! You should see them popping up around soon, we're trying to distribute them to past profiles as well ☺️

[@melindajunata]

​@@OGS.Official Yay! Super happy to hear that. I will definitely go and visit them when the hong kong and singapore travel bubble is happening :')

[@linzehang5052]

My goodness. This is so heartwarming, I really couldn’t stop smiling throughout the video. Keep telling such uplifting stories amidst the gloom of COVID-19. We all appreciate it lots!

There are still kind people around

[@VanceLiang]

The lady stall owner who shared her stall space is truly nice in person and I am grateful I could hear about their story here. I wondered why the stall had closed even though the noodles were really good. Please support both stalls, you really can't go wrong with either.

[@loooong0416]

The noodles are really nice. From what the auntie told me, I think it's because the stall owner wants to take the place back.

[@OGS.Official]

@@loooong0416 Yes it is, the stall owner wanted to take back the place so she was given the due notice before she eventually moved out. She couldn't find a suitable place nearby to continue her business and was considering doing something else until Ah Gey offered to share the space with her. And the rest is history ❤️

[@outerhealthplus8880]

This video is so heartwarming and it really shows the goodness in helping one another, I am in loss of words. For me, this is one of the best videos I have seen from you guys. Keep doing what you do 👍👍👍

[@suec9264]

Me too that I kept smiling while watching this video. It’s truly heartwarming to see how they help each other happily and treat each other sincerely. It’s more than kampung’s spirit! 👍🏻

[@Peppermintmilktea169]

Love how OGS brings out the humane side of people and we should continue to spread love and be compassionate, empathize with the less fortunate.. support local hawker whenever we can and not keep eating or dining at restaurants.. hawker is where our forefathers bring up our grandparents, parents

[@Ellazybone]

So nice of her 😍😍😍❤️

[@Strik3Fr33dom2]

Being nice and being taken advantage are two different things.. so much for all her ‘friends’ that always ask money from her, when she has nothing where are all her ‘friends’??

[@Joel-vy1cy]

so inspiring !

[@JJboy4Flower]

Omg! I’m heading there soon to get both fried carrot cake and handmade noodles 😊😊😊

How did she lose her stall, that's what I'm wondering. If anything NEA should not be chasing her out of her stall.

[@qixuanteh6297]

she say the rent was increasing really fast and she couldn't afford to pay for it i live near here btw and she's damn nice ngl and it's cool af to see it featured here

[@shinybaldy]

*awkward empty stall next door*

[@OGS.Official]

Hi there, the stall owner of Ah Choo's previous location wanted to take back the place so she was given the due notice before she eventually moved out. I chose not to focus on telling this part of the story at Ah Choo's request because she was afraid that the situation may be misconstrued by some members of the public. The least we want to do, is to put our profiles in an awkward position. In fact, after spending some time speaking with Ah Choo and Ah Gey, I find that they have such sincere and genuine personalities which I feel should be celebrated and told, all the more, in such depressing times. I hope this answers your question and helps you understand our train of thoughts a little better when we cover stories :) - Pei Fang

[@MrBoliao98]

@@OGS.Official this now makes a lot of sense, and honestly should have been part of the story telling. Cos now there is a lot of resentment with NEA adding rent.

[@mentoscaricature164]

[@noproblematallmate]

SFA should investigate subletting of stall space which is illegal. Too many hawker stalls are being sublet and many earn public money by being landlords of government hawker centre stalls. How much cheaper will hawker food be if we strike off the middleman who earns rent from subletting hawker stall?

[@soonsl_muffin_damien]

Hey OGS Team, i really really enjoy your videos and found it to be very relatable. Keep up the good work ! Also, i would like to show my support in anyway possible be it monetary contribution or personally helping OGS! @OGS
