    U guys are what made Singapore today and what garnered us and our hawker culture the Unesco Heritage.
    I am proud that we have hawkers in Singapore who serve up good meals. And we can see the work is tough, demanding, with full of ups and downs and there is alot of commitment, discipline and (most importantly) passion needed.
    have watched all 4 episodes of Belly of Nation 2. Well done CNA for giving a nice series to something easily forgotten in Singapore.

    I loved madame Leong attitude she such hard work and optimistic person. She seen really dedicated to her craft and is super admirable. My great gradma sold traditional Salvadoran candy for most of her life and she always had a great personality too. She past the tradition to my gradma but she is the last one who knows the craft. Is really sad when traditional gets lost, so I hope she can continue with her business.

    nostalgia hitting me hard just by watching this documentary. i use to eat at hawker centers every day when i was working there almost 10 years ago. miss so many delicious food nasi/mee goreng, nasi lemak, wonton noodles, mee rebus, hainanese chicken rice, roti paratha, tea tarek etc. best thing was the were all affordable. hats off the the hawker center staff. now that i am leaving in canada here you cant really have a good meal in less then 10 dollars so you cant able afford to eat out everyday.
