this young man has integrity, he will go far and prosper

What a transparent and authentic stall owner. Respect that he is meticulous in preparing his food and does not cut cost to take the quick profit. Hopefully, more people will take notice of his workmanship and may his business strive. Hope to try his Nasi Kerabu soon.

This guy understands that being in good health is going to tide him through bad times which may cripple others. That extra bit of strength to lift more, that extra cardiac capacity can sometimes mean the difference between getting over a hurdle to success or falling and dying right then and there. Absolute Chad.

I have tried the Nasi Kerabu. It was sensational. The kerabu was refreshing. A chef with lots of integrity and pleasant personality.

I am impressed with this young man's standing on his principle - not serving alcohol because he does not drink alcohol himself.

His stall is just a few minutes walk from my house, and lemme tell you, it is WORTH IT, easily could be a $20-30 restaurant dish. Not the most authentic cos he did add some creative flair, but kinda authentic enough and extremely tasty and unique. Go support him!

Respect this brother for owning his food and life 💪 Especially hitting the gym so the body and mind are in peak condition for the service ahead.

Just from the techniques (wet brining and the use of weight instead of volume measurement) and advanced equipment (already spotted sous vide and Thermomix) he exhibited, I already have full confidence his food can't be bad. This is one thing I think most hawkers lack, the pride in making food. Most just stick to original (but maybe inferior) methods of preparation but this guy, when he knows of a more superior way of cooking, he seeks to incorporate them into traditional food, to elevate it to greater heights. This alone is worth the price he charges. The pride someone has in a job will come through. Clearly he has that pride when he exhibited his inquisitiveness by wanting to know the why for doing things. This understanding of the why instead of rote memory will make his knowledge more generally applicable to other situations that might call for it. The combination of the above reasons is probably why neither he nor I have seen other hawkers incorporating sous vide even though that is the perfect method to cook large batches of food and keeping food quality consistently good. A very good time management tool as well. Just from knowing how he prepares his food, it already makes me want to visit his stall. I think his problem is a marketing problem. Ordinary people won't know what good food is, much less recognize it. Maybe he can educate people why his food is better, why certain techniques he used make his food stand out, etc. At least for me, because I have above average understanding of culinary techniques and knowledge, I can immediately know how good his food will be without even tasting them. Ordinary folks though, will be looking at that price and complaining before even trying the food, a hurdle and barrier he will need to overcome so that people can appreciate the true value of his food and be willing to part with their money.

The story of this Singaporean hawker applying fine dining techniques to traditional hawker food is truly inspiring! It show us the potential for innovation in any culinary space, no matter how humble the beginnings might be. 🍽

Respect for this bro. The amount of hours and effort to be put in.... everything from prep, cooking, the CLEANING up....one man army. It's never easy. I hope you can make it big bro!

Way to go young man! Much respect for your attitude and determination. Man of integrity for sure and I hope your business will progress.

This Chef is going to get Michelin stars very much sooner than he might imagine. Perhaps many more Influencers should be eating at the stall in the next few weeks, and consider investing to develop more stalls for South East Asian venues.

The quality for hawker food is really good. And the way he speaks of his food and advises customers the order to eat the food speaks volumes and pride that he has on his food. The basmati rice and the winged bean salad are really very good!

this man deserves our singaporeans support.

hardworking young man. will support him

That explained the price. Good quality food served.. will come and try somedays! All the best!

Wowww...new element It's time for premium hawker center for quality food serving 👍

Very admirable young man with integrity and work ethic. I wish him all the best and he will get good mentors/ investors

The food quality looks amazing.. I will definitely want to try it. This young gentleman has a good attitude.

The food he serves is tasty and comes from the heart! ♥️ do support him if you haven’t tried his food before!

I learn cooking in a hawker kitchen before. Sous vibe technique is one of it. Keep it up bro! Your doing good 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great job abang Affie.. Glad to see your notebook still alive.. got it wet many times.. hehe.. More power and good luck bro.. Hope to try it someday!!!! Rooting for your success!!! - Karl B

Digging that mentality bro! Power to you and proud of you. May Allah increase you in His blessings 🤲🏽 Now I’m going to go and order some soon 😉

I am from the Philippines and goes to Singapore 2x a year to visit my kid. Will go to Yishun and visit you brother and eat everything! :)

I’m definitely going to try this next month when I’m back in Singapore! This looks so good and I’m amazed he’s done so many things that u usually only see in restaurants!

Your mindset's so inspiring

respect to you brotha! Not an easy feet running a hawker stall and being in the f&b. Best of luck 🦾

Will go taste your food. Love yr great effort. Super young man. So proud of u!

The first thing that caught my attention was his opening statement of going to gym. Fully respect that mentality 😃 !

The nasi kerabu was absolutely mindblowingly good!

Honestly I feel like his journey as a whole is so so so so interesting 😂 like you just never expect what he would do but he's just there doing and creating new things 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

True meaning of having your own values and being yourself. Salute!

Tomorrow surely got long queue. And hopefully it will stay that way👍

Thank you for sharing your story! I’d love to visit and try your food, all the best in your craft! 🌟

What a wonderful watch! Bravo!

He’s really Passion in his trade!!!! Cheers!!!!! Huat Ah!!!!!

The nasi lemak and teh tarik at this hawker centre is 🔥 🔥 🔥

Power bro! Respect!

Definitely, quality over price ❤❤❤

Amazing, will support!

I hope he moves into the CBD one day. A much larger lunch crowd compared to Yishun and I would hazard slightly more affluent.

nice one lahh bro, i will support you when I'm in yishun!! support our local hawkers

Honestly, we have to accept that we have to pay our local F&B businesses the fair prices they deserve. If they cannot earn money, they cannot continue serving us delicious food with the same passion they had when they decided to start. Nobody starts a business to breakeven.

Good job! You may try special dish only for certain days to get more customer attention! For example Nasi Kerabu Sotong/Udang on every Wednesday and Friday. (Just little suggestion) Keep it up! Wish you good business always!

This sounds like a dish I would like but never knew existed. I will give this a try next week!

class bro. might come there later

Tried, tasted, highly highly recommended❤❤❤❤

adding more cooking process = add cost. Kudos when you want to give quality over cost. I hope with this added cost you can still go on.

i don't think he has competition at all he understands that no one is going through that length to prepare a plate of nasi kerabu to sell cheaper than him

i love his mom's articulation of words

$13 for the chicken variant still ok, but $22? Nw I’m curious to head down and try the food to see if it’s worth the price

I love nasi kerabu, and I like his cooking technique

Ok. I will go try it soon 😊😊😊

tried all 3 dishes. It was sensational. It became my go to weekly place to eat kerabu.

Can’t wait to try! Looks good!

Hardworking!

I'm going to travel to Yishun for this.

had nasi kerabu for the 1st time recently at a hawker centre too, did not know i needed to mix the rice & veg. no wonder the veg alone seemed slightly off.

Good food. Hardworking and honest chap. Begins at hawker. Will not last long in hawker, because he will soon be opening his own restaurant.

Very talented... 👍👍👍

feel like trying now.. looks dam good

His ayam percik alone look quite delicious. Gonna try his food when I'm in Singapore

Hope one day this young man open up his own Nasi kerabu restaurant. Love to see young entrepreneurs that so driven by their passion

His food looks so yummy 😋 so fresh wow very talented cook 👨‍🍳

Hello 👋 from Malaysia 🇲🇾 hope to try this nasi kerabu 1 day. All the best 💯

Will check it out ❤ Jiayou!!!!

Genius, sousvide lamb for consistency definitely quality cooking methods and you can see his pride in his food.

Semoga berjaya Bro!

Steady bro 💪🏻

Bismillah,semuga awak terus Berjaya dlm bidang ini,in syaa Allah Aamiin

Must support!

So long as younger hawkers are getting into the hawker scene, it's all good.

Happy to visit this shop if I ever do travel to Sg.

respect!

Very rare Young Chef will do this in Singapore ❤

Lol even the food blogger got it wrong. Yellow nasi kerabu is from Terengganu, Blue is Kelantan. The colour comes from the colour of its ingredients

How to increase vol if doing it alone?

It does not sound that foreign given that Nasi lemak is know challenge is in Hawker setting speed , but depending upon location he will get loyal customer base may be advance paying and booking! will reduce the waiting time!

his smile omagawd

deserves more support for that amount of preparation and price.

Which Yishun hawker centre please. I like to eat at this stall. Tks

Well done adik! But just wondering why delivery is $22? a bit much…

Grilled Chicken/ Lamb with tangy sauce and that salad... why would people not like it 😀

Catering? Birthday parties, baby's first month, weddings...

Ok I’m gonna do a food review on this dude’s nasi kerabu.

Fine dining without alcohol is an impossible ask I’m afraid. Hope this hawker thing works out for him!

Good food at an affordable price. ✅ (Nasi kerabu is indeed hard to find in Singapore. This is the first time I've seen it being sold in Singapore. Usually I'd have to cross the causeway to have it.) Handsome abang hawker. ✅ (Always a bonus. 😜) Near my place. ✅ 😂😂❤❤

This is for sure michelin level where the guy inovate and using technique

never taste that, but looks delicious

Is the sauce cooked or raw? i meant the sauce put on Chicken the other one looks like a cross between a Chatnai ( Indian ) and Sambal

SICKKKKKK

Pakai arang lagi👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Yup...!! If u can afford to drink rm15-rm20 coffee at Starbucks , etc etc... U can afford to eat this dish...!

Correct it’s all about value and not the price. Sadly most of the food in SG is cut cost…

So proud of N levels . Last time I was in N levels too

It's more important than ever to support each other. Buying local helps all of us in Singapore thrive. Let’s do this together! 🌟

power la bro

The only thing I hate about Sous Vide is there will be a lot of plastic waste. If only there was an alternative to it. Silicon Reusable Sous Vide bag is a thing but it is such a pain to wash especially if assuming, the hawker has hundreds of customer. It may not look or sound appetizing if people know the bag is reusable but washing it will only remove previous cooking, not oil stains which does not affect the taste but won't look nice to people unless people don't see the Sous Vide Cooking part.

so much in life is just about luck. Right place, right time.

Manglish and Singaporean English is so interesting.
