Keeping a Legacy Going - Hock Lai Seng Teochew Style Fishball Bak Chor Mee | Singapore Hawker Food

At 22 years old, Marvin Kay is a young hawker who ventured on his own serving bak chor mee that he has been so familiar with since childhood. He learnt his skills from his grandpa and uncle, who run the Michelin Gourmand listed stall - Ah Ter Teochew Fish Ball Bak Chor Mee at Amoy Street Food Centre.
Marvin's busy routine begins at 4am, when he sets off to Redhill Market to get fresh prawns and ingredients. Single-handedly, he does all the cooking himself, from frying pork lard and shallots, cooking broth and chilli sauce, braising mushrooms, and preparing ingredients. The minced pork and liver are marinated before. By 7am, he is ready to serve piping hot noodles.
The noodle, coated well with sauces, is topped with marinated minced pork and liver, prawn, fishball, meatball, etc. Pair it with the robust flavourful soup, cooked with big bones and dried sole fish, makes a comforting meal!
Do drop by and give our young hawker your support!

Support our young hawkers. Their day starts very early and they have to toll the whole day in front of a hot stove. Wish you every success Marvin! Jiayou!

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Thanks for your encouragement! 🥰

[@latenightcashews]

gotta admire hawkers who make their own lard and shallot oil!!! aromatics are the essence of flavour.

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Respect and start in wee hour to do that.

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Probably the youngest hawker in the island. 4am to 5pm. The hawker scene got hope.

[@browncony3897]

Thanks for the support!!

[@shy3102]

Wow that's a hell lot of work to do from scratch daily. Respect they do everything fresh themselves and the uncle is right, own fried shallots tasted totally different from commercially prepared ones. When i dine out i alway ask them to omit the fried shallot not because i don't like, but i only eat home cooked ones. Just for this i would go maxwell to find this store to try one day! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@HappyCat.CarlNeo]

Wow. Thanks for the great comments and the support!!
