An Executive Chef of a Chinese fine-dining restaurant who went to jail and paid his dues. A former air steward who unknowingly participated in a Ponzi scheme and chalked up a $200,000 debt. A formidable 75-year old boss of a long-time Tze Char stall and her grand-niece, a gutsy millennial and former cafe worker.
Meet some of the colourful characters who show us the secrets behind their famous fare like fried Oyster Omelette, Nasi Briyani and a unique culinary delight that requires 24 hours of preparation-Basin Dish.
But all this hard work doesn’t come easy. They let us into their lives and behind the scenes as day-to-day tension and clashes persist. They also share their checkered pasts, and paths to redemption.
Food is life, and these are the ties that bind. Welcome to Belly of a Nation.
Watch the full series of Belly Of A Nation 2: • Belly Of A Nation 2 | ...
======
About Belly Of A Nation 2: Step into the lives of Singapore hawkers cooking up salivating dishes of Oyster Omelette, Nasi Briyani, Appam. Filmed before and over the COVID-19 pandemic, will all of them make it or will some end up folding for good?

There are big lessons to be learnt by people who are Hawkers in Singapore and in Asia. I love that entrepreneur spirit. The hard work and overcoming adversary in life to survive. Having independence. Struggling to repay loans and supporting their families. There are alot of values to be learnt from that.

I used to stay at one of the units in that row of shophouses on Syed Alwi Road during my childhood days. I missed those days where my grandaunt would open her "stall" at the base of the stairs of the shophouse that we stayed in. Every early morning, it will always be so bustling with people where patrons go around their normal marketing routine and the stallholders preparing their stock to sell. My Grandaunt would prepare her dishes at our home kitchen upstairs, e.g. Char Bee Hoon, Char Mee, Char Kway Teow, etc. This is one part of my childhood that I wouldn't mind reliving again and again. I believe this is one experience that can't be found anywhere else. From time to time when I reminiscence those times, it just brings up a wonderful feeling; anyone who has been through similar living conditions would understand. When I grew older, only then I realized that I have unknowingly lived through the actual "Kampong Spirit/Togetherness" during my childhood, an experience that you can never get now in current Singapore. I miss my Grandaunt so much; especially her cooking.
