So happy to see her parents looking proud at having such a good daughter. Their smile approved her ability.

Very Blessed daughter. She understood her mum's TEARS. Very touching .God Bless you child.

What a moving story! She is a grateful daughter, who loves her mother, and has grown the family bussiness! The Singaporean government should implement rewards for the best hawkers, since their food has become a Unesco World Heritage Treasure! People who visit Singapore, have to go to a Hawker Centre, otherwise, it is like they have not seen the REAL Singapore!

This is what great success looks like! Mad respect for this young lady

A touching and inspiring story! Once she made up her mind, she moves forward cos she knows it’s the path she has chosen. Wishing you every success!!! 👏👏👍👍🌈🌈

I love lor mee. Always happy to see more lor mee stalls around, instead of the overwhelming bak chor mee, chicken rice, char siew rice everywhere now.

Wow This girl really inspire me. She knows what she wants and just do it. I wish her every success.

I takes my hat off for her.courage to change.from a 9 to 5 job to a much tougher job as a hawker. Keep it Jaycee.

I respect and will support you and all the next generation hawkers. Preserve SG Hawker culture, people like Jaycee deserve so much praise and support. Keep it up! In the long run it will be all worth it.

Respect every hardworking hwaker who sell at affordable prices and make an effort to ensue good quality food.

this girl is one of the preetiest and sweetest girl that work on hawker store, hope can she be successful one day

Well done. Jiayou! The mum raised a good kid with a good head on her shoulders. We need to appreciate hawkers and be willing to pay more for the food.

That’s the way to go believing in yourself 🤜🤛 Well done Jaycee..💪🙌💪🤘🤘

Your mum surely a real fighter n raise her children indeed very well. To grow your business into a chains stall..u need to let go...can not do everything by yourself.

Gotta go try this. When I was very young, I used to go to China Street hawker center. It was a very dark and dirty hawker center. However, the lormee there was FANTASTIC. I have not been able to taste another lormee as good as that!

I love that she mentioned 'don't envy others' that's really true for me, I envy people who can work and travel at the same time, if I have to work at a hawker stall (i enjoy cooking sometimes) I would be disappointed sadly

Definitely will try her Lor Mee,though it’s not my fav hawker foods, we witnessed her sheer courage, determination to succeed & strong die hard spirits , we are confident she will carry her family name in good stead flying high. You go gal 🎉😂❤😊

What an inspiring story !

I always respect such people who will do things for their parents. Such people usually have a good heart. God bless this woman n her brother.

Some Hawker earn so much , u will be surprise some drive Mercedes, stay in condominium n private house. No doubt the hours are long.

A cheerful video showing a happy face girl find her calling as a hawker. Having said that a few of my spouse brothers and sisters were also hawkers. But unlike the parents in this video clip, they would not want their children to follow their vocation as hawkers. Their parents are happy when their children choose not to. To each his own.

Ridiculous, if you can't bear to let your daughter leave her job with good prospect and pay. Then you shouldn't even have called her and cry about your stall in the first place.

Take a 70% pay cut is regressing. It is different if hawkering is her passion

What a dedicated young lady, I wish her all the best.

Singapore needs more brave young people like that. Tough work but u willbe rewarded if u persist. Jia you💪💪

Great, keep up. Be proud your self

Putting family first, I admire you.

great job. well done

The elder son is always nice and polite

Jaycee, you are a very strong person. I hope you can keep up the strong mind always and go a long way

You come across as a really good hearted person. Ur sacrifices will be well rewarded. All the best

This is an example of small local SMEs loved by true locals. Hard work is only a small part of success. The new citizens virtually never patronise the hawker centres. They much prefer their own food from their own country opened by their countrymen. So how does one take this to the next level, obtain funding to expand and scale up? How can the government help our local SMEs by creating the environment required to grow? Our food scene which is an important component of our *cultural confidence* as a nation is fast eroding. In the malls, we see a proliferation of ever increasing foreign franchises rather than local businesses, with more young people preferring foreign than local. What strategies and tactics can we as a nation learn from Japan and Korea, both having managed to supplant their many food franchises here?

i think she rather help her parents than dealing with office politics, have to face unreasonable boss or bad colleagues

A wise decision person, nothing bad, you earned a honest living, should support 👍👍👍👍👍

Such an inspiration. Hopefully I'll be just like you..one day

Wow I admire her. When I come to Singapore I will stop by and eat

What an inspiration

Congratulations on the amazing news! This is an incredible milestone and you deserve the spotlight to celebrate the moment

Where is the shop ?

I would do the same too. Why not since its a family business built up by yr mum and business was already good. Learn the skill n everything would be a routine. Be yr own boss is better.

She so cool❤️

The best part is that if the hawker fails to pay the $600 “consulting fee” in time, he will be charged 12% interest or “such higher rate as may be determined from time to time by the Consultant” for any outstanding amount owed - aka “Ah Long” style of “O$P$” but minus the pig’s head and splattering of red paint on walls. In any case, given that hawker stall rentals at SEHCs have skyrocketed and SEHCs have used “Ah Long” style of management operating these hawker stalls, as revealed by Mr Seetoh and warned by Mr Yee earlier in Parliament in 2012, one can only conclude that Vivian’s ministry has failed to keep watch on these SEHCs “very, very closely”.

Hawkers are passionate about their cooking. Food court owners are passionate about their profit. Cooks at hawkers stall are owners. Cooks at foodcourt are employees. The difference between the two is in the food. A simple test you can do is to eat.

she must be the prettiest hawker around

Good job. 👍 👍👍👍

Very rare breed. Not many are willing to setup a hawker stall to earn a living because of long hours to prepare the ingredients and food. They get the satisfaction when customers like their food. If she has more energy and time she can do yoga classes, or any other side activities to supplement her income. Bravo to her!

That is good about business, passable to your children.

Secret recipe can not be written in notebook instead it must be in the brain. Very good idea.

Follow your passion... If it lights you up, just do it. Hawker is also a profession and highly needs skills. It is called Hawkerpreneurs.

Everybody take different path in life. Don’t need to compare. There are many definitions of success

Hi, where's the location ?

Where place in lor mee stall?

If you do well in the hawker business, you might be able to expand it to become a franchise business.

Jiayou 🙏

好料哪里可以品尝到！ Jurong East地址？

It's good value food--too many hugely expensive places for eating in Singapore! Good on this lady!

Bravo Bravo

I would think she made a wrong decision.

Kudos 👍 Thank you also for keeping great food in the churning mode. Can anyone help to text the address, here? Thank you!

"It's only once in a lifetime. Either I do it ,or I dont." #Realist #FACTS #NowOrNever

Where is the stall in Jurong East? Address?

I hope she is doing it for herself & not for her mum, filial piety is one thing but to get into a career where you wont be happy in the long term is setting up a trap for oneself. Some parents would fight like mad not to have their children be in these kind of industry because its back breaking work, they "sin ku" themselves pay for the children's higher education but dont wish the kids to follow their footsteps. I hope it works out well for their family.

she is cute.. and hard working young lady.

It's double time enjoyable because she is with her family. Unlike us hawker who works for somebody & be away from our own family.

Working for yourself is much better than being a slave to an organization or boss!

In Thai, we call you "Luk Katanyu", literally "child grateful". You can't bear to see your mom cry and want to pay back for raising you up. Such person is "Luk Katanyu".

Good lormee. Come try!

Respect

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

“They (social enterprises) operate the new hawker centres like a hard core commercial Food Court management system. Hence, I am seeing some issues that raises some concerns,” Mr Seetoh said. Contract agreements from hawkers at SEHCs revealed that on average, they are paying about $4000 a month on stall rentals. Then there are a number of hidden charges written inside the contract agreements, like imposing a Gross Turnover Profit percentage, charges for crockery washing, collection and return and even a “brazen clause” that hawkers need to pay a “consultant” $600 a month to have them spot check their food quality and operation.

Hi 美女👧加油💪💪. Congrats to you and family for working so hard and doing so well. Stay healthy and always be happy.

加油💪

How much per bowl??

Continue as long as you want it yourself. Not because someone else wants you to.

Really hope she become restauranteer with Michelin star on day. God willing

Well done, keep up the good work, need more locals breed to prepare local taste n not foreigners preparing food that are not as tasty as local.

Working for yourself equal freedom with your soul!

BECAUSE OF YOU, I HAVE LOR MEE TO EAT

my dream girl

Best wishes. As long as you have the passions, you will succeed. Keep it up. You speak good English.

70% pay cut???

Aiyo. Jurong East where. Bukit merah where. So big how to find ??? Beautiful girl girl good daughter Lor me stall

Jia you

Others questioned whether these young hawkers would be able to sustain themselves in the long run, given the fluctuating income of the industry, and whether they will be able to save up for a family or even retirement. A couple of netizens asked why the programme was only open to polytechnic and ITE graduates and not National University of Singapore (NUS) or Nanyang Technological University (NTU) graduates as well. One netizen asked, “What is the underlying message for our education system here?”

Being a hawker can earn more than your job

Jiayou!! 🎉🎉

Aft all,is good income..

You: Knock knock Me: Who's there? You: Lor mee Me: Lor mee who? You: Lor mee like you do, lor mee lor mee like you do Me: 🙄

Where is this place?

She is good looking. At first i thought, she could be an S.I.A girl..

Having to be at the stall around 3am No joke Sacrifice sleep

Remember 4 P's (1) Price (2) Product (3) Place (4) Promotion.

What language other than English is she speaking? Sounds like Mandarin but I can't tell

no child porn no sex with minors no illegal drugs and no illegal firearms.

Money..

Respect! Blessed family of good character n values. Do consider to go HALAL for one of your stalls. We will support u with online n offline orders. Jiayou!

Good lor mee is rare or non existence nowadays.

In reality: FT take comfortable job, Singaporean take tough job. Most hawkers will not encourage kids to be hawkers, they know is very tough very tough. Hawkers as parents actually hope their kids don't be hawker.

The beginning of World War 3 signifies that Qiyamat (The Day of Judgement) is very near. And there isn’t much time left at all, as some people have claimed and said that these events are very far away.” #MuhammadQasimDreams

I am attracted to try your lor mee. Which nearest mrt and bus to reach the coffeeshop
