[@Alan-Aus]

Next time at the hawker, I will eat slowly to appreciate the food from the hard labour & history of a hawker stall

[@SGBUSES_EMERGENCYVEHICLES]

Don't take too long later other people want to eat no table 😂😂

[@alpha3839]

[@Raj0684rg]

This is a wonderful look inside a culture that to most Americans unknown. I very much enjoyed watching this presentation. It wasn't just about food, it was also about culture and family.

[@CNAInsider]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paddynoble]

There are big lessons to be learnt by people who are Hawkers in Singapore and in Asia. I love that entrepreneur spirit. The hard work and overcoming adversary in life to survive. Having independence. Struggling to repay loans and supporting their families. There are alot of values to be learnt from that.

[@eastendchico7503]

The oyster pancakes couple are very sweet, you can see they are a still a natural loving couple.

[@smj7246]

His wife must be his 开心果🙂

[@andylam73]

been to these hawker centres many time while enjoying my holidays in singapore. the meals serving are inexpensive and very delicious. all these hard working singaporeans working hard to feed us. my respect to them all. tell singapore i love her

[@tkyap2524]

Hard work but can be rewarding but not necessarily financially. When people appreciate what you dished out is spiritual fulfilment in itself.

[@Khel.x]

Beautiful people with so much love in their hearts, a family tie that is incomparable and unbreakable .. the history and culture of what has brought them to the now, is something to appreciate, value and learn from. 💖

[@clt2744]

We take hawker centres and the good food that these hawkers produce for granted. Thank you for shining a light on these hardworking and often under-appreciated people.

[@jacklyman5629]

24 hours to prepare a dish with an aching back and heart problems, that’s more than dedication and patience, that’s his calling.

[@tomoyochan92]

Sounds like poverty.

[@missJolie85]

This is poverty, stop glorifying it with calling it a calling. It's nobody's calling to work that hard with an aching back and heart problems.

[@matthewleemw7687]

Kudos to Chef Chik and wife for staying positive and grinding out the results. True grit considering his health.

[@Lin-dw6mx]

Debbie emits such positive vibesss

[@mbahpoh5475]

I've been worked in Singapore for 5 years 20 years ago i really missed the the foods nasi lamak , crabs curry , pink and white colours gluten rice i love Singapore looking forward to visit that country again

[@lala102085]

Thank you CNA for this follow-up report regarding Singapore’s Hawker Culture. I’ve always been fascinated with your hawker culture. I think it is a beautiful way to support your culture, traditions and people.

[@masa1044]

This hawker series are all about human drama. That's why I love this series so much.

[@d3st1ny9090]

Really enjoyed this series! Thanks CNA!

[@lafemmerowena]

IS IT MY QUEEN WHO IS NARRATING? REMINDS ME OF MICHELLE YEOH. I LOOOVE THIS!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! #KENYAN

[@brenlouissurio2404]

When I was in SG for a month, those hawker places were one of my favorites! Saves me a lot of money and there are lots of food choices. So good. And they serve a lot for what I pay.

[@123Clean123]

Hawkers have so much love for their craft, and are such natural entrepreneurs. Grit/perseverance to keep going in the face of difficulties and the energy to make their vision a reality. Got to respect that.

[@ronniepickering7764]

Simply put: A well thought out documentary which I thoroughly enjoyed. Well Done!

[@vincenzlee]

Watching this makes me miss Singapore more. How I wish COVID would already end so I could go back next year.

[@DeStinAr0]

[@angkorviajecompartido]

I love Singapore. Very beautiful country, very friendly and helpful people.

[@mak3myda3]

It's always so wild so see how many languages people regularly speak in Singapore

[@smj7246]

Yup, cuz there are the various dialects too.

[@lani215]

Hawkers are trully unique in SG. The place, the people and the food! It will be the most I will dearly miss and remember when I'm no longer in Sg.

[@naturenurture7387]

Two thumbs 👍 👍 to the superb narrator!

[@jessiewyg]

Another excellent piece of reporting from CNA!

[@jeremychan609]

Hawkers show the epitome of entrepreneurship - it takes grit, mental discipline and perseverance to succeed in any trade or profession.

[@tasingp]

Lovely to hear Cantonese being spoken :-)

[@shadertheboi]

I used to stay at one of the units in that row of shophouses on Syed Alwi Road during my childhood days. I missed those days where my grandaunt would open her "stall" at the base of the stairs of the shophouse that we stayed in. Every early morning, it will always be so bustling with people where patrons go around their normal marketing routine and the stallholders preparing their stock to sell. My Grandaunt would prepare her dishes at our home kitchen upstairs, e.g. Char Bee Hoon, Char Mee, Char Kway Teow, etc. This is one part of my childhood that I wouldn't mind reliving again and again. I believe this is one experience that can't be found anywhere else. From time to time when I reminiscence those times, it just brings up a wonderful feeling; anyone who has been through similar living conditions would understand. When I grew older, only then I realized that I have unknowingly lived through the actual "Kampong Spirit/Togetherness" during my childhood, an experience that you can never get now in current Singapore. I miss my Grandaunt so much; especially her cooking.

[@cybergod77]

CNA, could u pls list the name and address of all the stalls featured?

[@qazplm3063]

Patiently waiting for this pandemic to end so that I can travel just for the food 💖

[@franciscobreva8011]

I taught Singapore is way ahead against all ASEAN nations in terms of status .... I guess we all are on the same boat 🚣‍♀️.. monetarily Singapore is above all Asian countries but the hardship .. “ The blood,sweat,& tears “ we are all together ....

Great documentary! Thanks CNA for the interesting content

[@diva555sg]

I like the hawker culture. Nostalgia! I like this video.

[@alpha3839]

23:41 true story, even tho I'm a man and I could be said as "third gen", my grandma's family treat their family like that. I don't know why they said chinese is genius, smart. But when it comes to common sense, how can they hate their daughter when all of them are female as well, and those for male, why would u marry female if u hate them. Just marry male lol

[@maricarpatubo7581]

So pruod of them tq cna for this vedeos

[@loveispatient0808]

I like the title, it’s taken from the beloved hymn, “ Blest be the ties that bind” ! 😀

[@RizzlyricistGaming]

May the Grand Architect of the Universe profusely give the Singapore Hawkers strength to overcome future endeavors.

[@dillonchng]

All I can say is I am proud to be a Singaporean

[@silvercobra8252]

Lim's Oyster, yep gonna write that for my bucket list... dish that reflect a happy soul hope all is well

[@messitup]

I can't tell if Mr.Lim was speaking Cantonese, or Taiwanese or English , haha I think it was a mix of all three~

[@tckchannel4435]

Singapore addition of pandan leaves...LOLOLOL

[@singalore]

Compare hawker food prices to restaurants', if we wanna keep our hawker heritage alive, we should increase hawker food prices to increase their income to keep this sustainable and worthwhile for more hawkers.

[@moltenvanilla]

Hawker life is really tough, lets support them more and finish our plates clean! And return the plates too. They sell really good food at affordable prices

[@iarshintasudjana4382]

Nasi biryani mutton yogurt❤❤❤❤❤we dont hv it in Indonesia...not common.

[@godsamazinggrace5331]

I appreciate the hawkers for their toilsome labor in preparing yummylicious food for us at such affordable prices

[@DavidDavid-yz2sh]

Is this flim during the pandemic??

[@davidtakius]

sounds like Michelle Yeoh narrating in the background

[@rivandiphoeng1758]

That’s what I thought as well!

[@JennaSakura]

Me too. I thought that as well. Funny how she is Malaysian though and not from Singapore!

[@rachelroberts9512]

I'll eat everything on this show when this is all over.

[@Raj0684rg]

I also thought of Michelle Yeoh. I love her on Star Trek: Discovery.

[@sammychau142]

I rather eat at a Hawker stand then a fancy restaurant because Hawkers cook with true passion thats been passed down.

[@geng_momok]

Amazing 😊👍 #malamseram

[@memadman]

I'll come to eat your food. Looks delicious !!

[@ylein6508]

Hawkers are really the best, it's only after I started living overseas and tried to cook my own, and started to realise how much work goes into a seemingly simple dish. My own version taste disgusting haha

[@Junkusanagi]

CNA, are there any plans for great series like these to be Mandarin dubbed so that older folks that do not understand English can also enjoy the rich content created?

[@jonathanchoo540]

What is Debbie's skincare routine?

[@quantahoang]

I miss Singapore ... :(
