Step into the world of Singapore's hawker culture with our debut episode, A Hawker’s Tale - where we experience the hustle and bustle of their daily routine!
Meet Delonix Tan, a former delinquent who transformed his life through his family’s fishball business, San Dai Fishball. From waking up at midnight just to prepare for his Sunday morning duties, this 26-year old third generation hawker works throughout the night while most people are still asleep.
It’s a far cry from his life he used to live, but he’s determined and filled with passion to keep the Sandai Fishball legacy alive.
Address:
SanDai Fishball 三代鱼圆 (Heng Kee Fishball & Yong Tau Fu)
22 Lor 7 Toa Payoh, #01-82, #01-83 Kim Keat Palm Market, Singapore 310022 (Closed on Weds and Fri)

Delonix, could you remember Mr Thong, the retired MOE teacher who wrote about you and Sandai? Finally, I got the chance to see you at work. I was extremely pleased to hear you speak English so very well! Keep up your very good work! It is not surprising that your fishballs and Yeong Taufu are of high standard! I am confident that you will succeed in your endeavours with your perseverance! I look forward to meeting you at your stall

You nail it, Delonix. Here is a young guy who is smart enough to know very well his comparative advantage and takes the less trodden path. I see hopes for young Singaporeans and don't look down on gangs or chow ah beng out there, they could be our very own untapped talent pool because they are garang and possess the guts to be great entrepreneurs and more importantly, many of them are street smart, educated and well spoken too. They just need a chance !

Love this episode, thanks Miss Tam Chiak for having this remarkable young man on your series! Clearly Delonix is very passionate about his family business, could see the sparkle in his eyes n hear it in his voice. He speaks very well too! Now I know where to get the real deal (not a fishball fan for the exact reasons he cited, ie. others mix starch in their fish paste n I’m sensitive to gluten) 😊👍🏼 Keep your family business blooming Delonix!

Delonix is so cute, so good- looking. 🤦🏻‍♀️I’ll ignore the tatts as it seems I’m clearly out of step with the trend; everyone else thinks they’re trendy nowadays. Though he says he didn’t do well in school, he’s obviously highly intelligent, with oodles of business “smarts.” His next step is to find the right kind of wife who will be a 100%supportive of him, because he rightly identified that he needs younger family members when his dad’s generation retire. That business brain of his also means expansion in the future. Supportive because he has strong leadership qualities, and you can’t have 2 leaders in a marriage. Well done for changing the path that you were on, Delonix. Good luck. Rooting for your bright future.👏🏻💫🌺

🙏Thank you, 💐Miss Tian Chiak for letting us know there's a stall which still makes fishballs with 100% fish meat🐟. I'll go there to buy a lot for myself and my neighbours👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. It's hard to find real fishballs nowadays as most are 90% flour* and only 10% fish meat.
