Trying out one of Singapore's most unique hawker stalls - Biriyani made by a Chinese Singaporean, who's an ex-SAF Major. Why did he quit the army to become a hawker? Why Indian cuisine, instead of Chinese? Big thanks to Wei Yong for appearing in this channel!

Ex SAF regular here Major Lau Wei Yong was one of the best officers i had pleasure serving with. He was my Platoon Commander back in the force. He was never afraid to get his hands dirty with his fellow junior commanders and troopers. What you see here is what you get. Humble and amazing guy. Proud of you Sir! Hoorah!

@rsashimi7810 2 ай бұрын

Wei Yong is an inspiration to those who wants to get out of their comfort zone to venture into something they have never done before. More importantly, he has no qualms about being a hawker even though he was a senior military officer.

Wow amazing, this just shows the world how amazing all of Asia is and that food joins us all together. I would love to try it, me as a UK white person I've given my Thai, Nepali and Chinese dishes to Thai's, Nepalis and Chinese/Hong Kong people and they all love it. They are happy I learn about their foods and I'm happy that they love my food, we all benefit from this amazing food. Oh yeah, I gave some Nepali food to some South Indians where I go for certain Asian ingredients and they loved it to 😊

The beauty about Sg multi racial & cultural society is not only harmony. We come a long way that food is becoming multi cultural also. We eat each other race’s cuisine, some Muslim stalls sells halal Chinese cuisine like bak chor mee replacing pork with chicken, & we see a good trend of fusion food of different races spicing up our hawker culture. Sg is actually food haven.

Respect to them. Hawkers is part of Singapore Culture. Reminds me of article of 8Days, we have to support all Hawkers, regardless the been around for decades or the newly, young hawkers. Otherwise, Singapore gonna lose the culture and Identity.

I’m curious he did mentioned he uses halal friendly ingredients and such but for muslims, the chicken and Beef has to be slaughtered the islamic ways in order for it to be halal. Not sure if he got the chicken/meat from a Muslim supplier or not.

An entrepreneur in the making vs being an employeee. Don't be surprised if he expands his business in the near future. With such an expansion, he will earn much more than an army officer. He can also either continue operating past retirement age or just be a shareholder to collect dividends (or profit sharing) from his operations. Great positive spirit... keep it up... wish more of such calibre will venture out to be entreprenuers!
