After Lockdown, Life Of Singapore’s Hawkers Beyond COVID-19 | Belly Of A Nation 2 | Part 4/4

- In the finale episode, meet Weijie, the third generation in a family of fishball makers. In case you didn’t know this, the ubiquitous fishball requires skills to churn out, if you aren't using machines. He ventures into selling Fishball Noodles but COVID-19 forced him to hunker down. He re-emerged 3 months later only to be axed once again.
Other hawkers in the CBD have to make critical decisions, and one impacts a career that spanned more than half a century. Others are luckier. Mr Tay finds an able apprentice to learn the art of frying carrot cake and a fried savoury sweet broad rice noodle dish called Char Kway Teow. The Burger guys find inspiration in a Singapore dish that's made only of soup bones.
One of the hawkers celebrates a life milestone - getting married. On the menu, a sumptuous feast that includes Dum Biryani, Mee Soto, Cereal Prawns and Tandoori chicken.

Pls include nam seng, 3 good guys, n other to the list🙏
i like the granny's spirit! at 91 she still promises to make a comeback~! inspiring to the young people!
So touching !!
The 91year old Woman is a true inspiration, amazing tenacity !!!!
This is why I love Southeast Asian hawker food. The Hawkers are just cheerful and they whip out some of the best food I've ever tasted in my life.
Totally agree
@@priyavicky3401 I meant their food is also cheap too that's also another main attraction to street food.
@@serpentzachary1340 totally agree. I am a singaporean myself and I always prefer hawker food compared to restaurant food. as it is tasty and cheap. Hence, I only patronize restaurants during special occasions.
i like the part where everyone unmask at the end, its a very nice human touch
Such a powerful moment.
And what a fantastic idea to have the series of head shots culminate in the beautiful shot of Nam Sang’s granny smiling
The old ah ma is so cute 😆
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.
Mdm Leong reminded me of my grandma who had passed on. She's really cute and I love her never say die spirit. Salute to all hawkers for bringing these wonderful food to us and keeping the legacy alive.
Thank you CNA for such well documented series. It gave me lots of inspiration to move forward.
The robust Ah Po and her Nam Seng Wonton Noodles store shall prevail, we will all see you at the new premises wherever you move to!
when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. respect to the hawkers and especially that 91 years old granny
Brought tears to my eyes seeing the sign of Ah Ma's Nam Seng being brought down. Hope you'll be back soon. Great stuff cna wish we could have some proper shows like this in Thailand. 🙏👍
Many Thanks to all who made this documentary and best wishes to all the hawkers and stay strong ...
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.
Appreciating all these aunties uncles efforts in maintaining this heritage and keeping the legacy for our next generations
love love love this episode. i teared when i saw how covid brought down Nam Seng's legacy, hopefully granny can bring up her brand again. 东山再起
That grandma who sell wonton mee is so sweet and seems nice, may she blessed with great health and wealth in 2021. I hope i can visit her store when i visit singapore in the near future
Not gonna lie this was REALLY interesting.
Kudos CNA! Thank you for giving us another well-made documentary. Madam Leong , we will be waiting for your return.
Really miss those who fed me during my 2years of stay & salute their dedication to feed the entire nation from morning to evening. My Sympathies are with them for going through the hardest times. “We shall overcome someday”... 🙏🙏🙏
Im watching this from London. This was very well made and informative. I hope to visit Singapore one day
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.
Are u Singaporean? I live in Canada too.
I have the greatest utmost respect for hawkers & chefs. They do what they do for passion, not for anything else.
Cause it’s not a life that everyone would choose
A very well produced series that is worthy of recommendation to all ages! Support our hawkers and food heritage!
i never consider eating in Singapore as expensive because of these places. I think it is even cheaper than Philippines and Indonesia. Food is so great and the serving size very generous.
I admire the candidness of Chef Chi about his past, as well as his courage to move forward.
Such a moving story about the Singaporean hawkers - these folks are really Singapore's cultural heritage. I sincerely hope they all are managing to survive and will be back in 2021!
The 92 year old grandma! Awesome!! She’s perfect. My grandma lived until she was 92. Then she got Cancer. At 92? It sucked. But she lived long, and was still active. She loved to go out to eat and try new things. She loved a glass of wine and good margarita also. Lol. Her fav snack was nachos!
Watched part 1 to 4 all the way till the end. Thank you CNA for this great series.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Truly enjoyed this series, every episode beautifully highlighted the human side of the hawker industry. The sacrifices, joys and setbacks they have to go through, thanks for producing this!
Granny is the baddest - a youth with a whole heap of energy!
Looking forward to trying these hawker food when I visit Singapore one day!
I can't be the only one who wanted to visit the 91-year-old and eat her food but the closing shocked me.
Now that's what you call dedication. Even though she 91 years old, still want to continue serving her customers. I am hopeful someone will learn her secrets and continue the traditions.
I have watched all of the episodes! Gosh, the story of each episode is cohesively well-documented. All together create a beautiful cascade of the journey inside Singapore's hawkers from the historical perspective and how it transcends through the modern era, including the difficult times as now. Thanks CNA Insider for the remarkable documentary and effort. I enjoyed every second of your work.
Another great series by CNA Insiders touching our locals, keep up the good work & can’t wait for more!
I hope our hawker culture continues for many generations regardless of the future challenges 🙂. It makes us uniquely Singapore
Love grandma sweet heart thank you for being nice and warm from her family she very lucky 🍀
Such a well-made Singapore documentary 👍👍👍
Thank you, I dearly love watching this serie! Hope to see and visit these stalls in my next tript to SG. And hopefully the Granny of 91 has her new stall! For me she is a true spirit and soul of SG foodies.
Thank you for making this series! These are important stories to tell ❤️
keep it up, the young one. Thank you for keeping our food heritage
this is why i absolutely love singapore hawker food. i am always amazed at how much effort and heart is put into these dishes.
From part 1to 4 I follow the stories you showed everything was so well depicted... We, I guess hope for a better future, though I’m retired I look at them as if I’m that person that work so hard ... cause I too In my working life .. dares the future .. Congrates ..
Great documentary from CNA. While the quality of shows and dramas from channel 5 and 8 have dropped significantly since the 90s and early 00s, CNA has improved by leap and bounds and is now the crown jewel of MediaCorp.
Please share the location of these stalls so we can support
