Hawker Culture Food Fair Brings Famous Malaysian Hawkers To Singapore On 5-6 Oct 2019

Celebrating the region’s hawker culture , each stall has an interesting story, whether it’s a 60-year history or a heartwarming family tie-up. Known for churning out the most refreshing cendol , this Malaysian eatery at Petaling Jaya is run by third-generation hawkers and has been around since 1958.

Per to The gula melaka is, to be extremely fragrant with a smoky-sweet note, and pairs well with the toothsome coconut milk. 2. Samy & Min Bak Kut Teh Another heritage Malaysian stall that will be flying down to GBTB is Samy & Min Bak Kut Teh , which has been around for more than 25 years.

At the fair, you will find their best-selling tua kut that has a good ratio of melt-in-your-mouth skin to juicy meat. 3. Soft and fluffy, these steamed rice cakes are filled with luscious gula melaka and finished off with a smattering of fresh coconut shreds. 4. Run by a third-generation hawker, Jenny, who grew up helping her grandmother sell oyster cakes at Ophir Road in the 1950s, before her grandmother’s house got burnt down in the 1970s.

This hawker stall was then reopened in 1986 to commemorate her late grandmother, and follows the same method as before. Tuan Yuan Pork Ribs Soup Unlike most hawkers that pass down their stalls to their children, the owner of the famous Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh wanted his children to learn hardship, and decided to open Tuan Yuan for them to start afresh.

The bak kut teh here is the Teochew-style version we are more familiar with, and boasts a robust peppery tang — the result of boiling pork bones, old garlic, and Sarawak white pepper for hours.
