@@arifaiman95 Thanks. Duno. How much are the differences, if any. Singapore had no sufficient natural fresh water. No primary commodity i.e mining. The land is tiny for agriculture, 6.5 million is tiny to achieve economy of scale to compete with over populated neighbours. With all the text booked disadvantages, where is its prosperity derived from if not its hard working & intelligent ppl. This Chinese uncle is 1 of those. I mean Chinese ethos.
We had it today and it was very good. The handmade fish balls were dense and flavourful unlike floury factory ones. Also loved the chilli sauce and nice clear soup. Price is very reasonable .We really appreciate his dedication to his trade.
Old traditions hawker people really hardworking, they work more than 12h. Not easy man. Really appreciate it. It is not easy to find a homemade fishball noodle at SG. 辛苦你了 Uncle Hua ❤️ #SupportSGhawkerFood :)
Jia you ah mei, hope u master your dad's skills. So proud that upon hearing about your dad plans of giving up u step in to help him. Hope the best for u two.
Vids like these made me appreciate hawker food stall owner (and workers, too) even more and more. They really do work hard! I pray that they'll always be strong, healthy, have quality time to spend with their family, and just be able to properly rest after those hours of hard work.
I love these stories! So insightful to learn about the everyday lives of the hawker owners. They really have such amazing work ethic. Really hard working people..but they look happy! Very inspiring!
Hawker owners usually start early morning and closes up by 14:00, uncle has dedication not anyone can work long hours like that I cant imagine if they still spend personal fun at home after work
When this covid thing goes better, hopefully I can visit Singapore again and go eating at uncle noodle shop. I'm a huge fan of hawker stalls 🇸🇬 , night markets vendors 🇨🇷, and warung makan 🇮🇩. Makan" is the best lah, especially makan enak. And my salute for uncle Hua for his hardworking ethics.
I really appreciate the work of this channel. Thank you for reminding us of our roots, showing us the lives of fellow Singaporeans, and making us feel at home from all our busy lives each day (:
We've lost so much of our culture. Because there next generation are so into instant gratification and stranger to hard work. Uncle Hua, keep on keeping on. I love your take on life. Take it or leave it. No worries.
I hope he lives a long life and happily hand over the business to his daughter. Usually regular customers in this kind of place wouldn't only miss the food in the future, but also the ambience ❤️
Beautiful documentary. Love your short videos, OGS! I'm trying to learn more about the culture of Singapore; finding stories like this and discovering their relationships with food is worth it, thanks a bunch for producing them.
His work ethics is correct in order to be successful. Hard work is another plus he is own boss who has the right mindset and dedication. Happy to know to meet this gentleman one day. Like to know the location of his store pls . Thx you
We will surely regret the loss if we dont support folks like this. Any ppl who lose their food culture lose a part of themselves, and will stand to become consumed by another ppl.
Sometimes in a family if only one person to run the business and the others dont get involved or help out, things very hard to work out. Running any business will require management from inside combined with outside. If one person how to divide hands to two part of managing business. You'll always trust own closest family members more than outsiders first. Not everything can depends on workers. I used to run a small business by my own. My only family is my mother, but unfortunately she not a good reader & in math. There're many things i need to run by my own while inside the work cannot finish. I felt so helpless & tired & felt like wasting time. Eventually i closed down business & went for employment. So when this uncle said he's very tired & was thinking to close it down, i totally can understand his feeling. What he said tired, was not about physically only, but mentally also. Lucky his daughter has interest to make it a heritage, could probably taken a load-off uncle's shoulders.
Hmm, i will have to skip this store for awhile cause even before this video, the queue is already very long, I believe with this video out, the queue will be even longer 😬. The fishball noodle is good 😋. MUST TRY 👍
used to live there. havent been back there in ages. a lot has changed it seems. didnt know that this fishball store exist. but i do recognized the sundry goods owners.
I would love for folks like these, to be financially comfortable. Able to put aside for retirement. But most modestly popular hawkers struggle to keep their heads above the water, with majority of the earnings go to rent. And many popular ones, make more money so that they can buy condo and Merc, and hire someone to do the work. Riding on their brand name, with their food having higher prices and degraded quality. And people soon say "the taste not like last time leh", or... "why people say until so good? so-so only what" for people new to the stall.
If uncle stop his work all the saidness coming up he must continue his work that i know the hrs is very long.You daughter if wanted to take over she must put in the time and most important how to cooking the noodle making fishball.
@@sher2942 thank you, great person great cook, but sorry to say he look lot older than me even I'm 60 year old too like he's father or something. I'm Teo Chew too.
I would go to the other fishball noodle at the opposite block 416 - Pandan Garden Fishball noodles. It is much much better and longer history, just compared the patrons. I have stayed in Pandan Gardens most of my life and most relatives are still there too. Trust me, this stall is not worth your time.
Actually at the peak of his hawker career, uncle was managing 5 stalls islandwide and a central factory. Due to the economic downturn few years back, he had to sell them away and now he is left with this stall. Now, uncle is happy to just focus on this one stall while working with his daughter :)
The daughter could do so much better! If she wants to inherit the business, she will have to put in the hours herself and maybe give the old man a break?
"My happiest time of the day is 9-10pm when I can go home"
Me too uncle.... Me too.

Hawkers like him gives Singapore a anthentic flavor to the real life of singapore. Singapore should be represented by Singapore.
So nice, hope this old man and his daughter will have a happy time together running the stall.
永遠笑啊。。。希望您的身體好生活也就好。Hope, the next visit to Singapore can come here. The dishes seem so delicious and Uncle's smile and laugh are contagious.

This video is heartwarming until you learned of the harsh living conditions of the elderly in Singapore 😭.
Love this guy’s outlook at life
I was wondering why I found this familiar... His noodles were featured in one of NOC's Food King video!!
Which vid?
@@NOSE-ej2qz Top fan recommendations in the West, the video came out this year I think
th-cam.com/video/1cwhUDTg5M4/w-d-xo.html
Food king is jus crap. Rely on word of mouth better
gmh food king is literally word of mouth lah, just don't base your opinion on one source, make your own from different sources
Wonderful n happy man. Hua hee too ho
It's really a tough life without much personal time. In time to come, there'll be fewer original hawker food stalls left.
Thx for sharing Bro Hua's inspiring story !
Truly a labour of love. How can you work every waking hour? Is this what our lives meant to be?
Indeed the best authentic handmade fishball...
Beautiful documentary. Love your short videos, OGS! I'm trying to learn more about the culture of Singapore; finding stories like this and discovering their relationships with food is worth it, thanks a bunch for producing them.
I hope his store is still there when I save enough to visit Singapore one day!!
Even in Malaysia the stalls where the cook drinks beer while cooking usually attracts many customers
Great stories about great people that around us everyday 👍🏻
very friendly uncle. hope to try his noodles someday
Damn minum beer pakai straw
legend knows how to drink their beer XD

thanks for sharing this. I will definitely try this place
No wonder he is so tired as he usually end at 10pm,only reach home probably 11pm.then wake up at 4.30am.
I really love this channel. Keep up the good work guys!

4.30am to 10pm..brape bnyk uncle rest...hadoi.bnyk letih oo
Will definitely go to his place when we go to Singapore!
He was singing 許冠傑 - 浪子心聲 at the beginning part. Sam Hui - A Wanderer's Heart.
It’s a tough life ... respect ✊... as always great video 👍👍
"Never mind about the ingredients. People come to eat here not just for the ingredients. If this bowl of noodles is nice, they will ask for more."
Uncle stay healthy.
做的很开心，也有成就感。
more content like this please 👍😊

should open a factory and sell the fishball

Would be great if he can market his hand made fish balls.... Its the real thing.......
