So.. many on the internet described this to be one of Singapores poorest estate.. built in the 70s.. it mainly consists of 1 room public housing. home to many elderly and lower income families. However when i took a walk around rhe estate.. i personally thought it clean and nice. Not as what everyone had described it to be the "poorest".
I wanted to see this unique hawker in this neighborhood. what it has to offer and if the food prices would be any cheaper.
Famous and Popular Stalls there:
Jalan Kukoh Teochew Kueh
Ri Tao Fu Teochew Pig Organ Soup
Teochew Fish Porridge

Good morning to all đ
Indeed at first sight of the title.. it has definitely stirred some emotions. I was referencing from the internet where you would see this estate is commonly stigmatized with the term. My goal here is to show all of you what I saw here.. and there was nothing but the OPPOSITE.. the hawkers we RICH at HEART.. warm. Kind and caring towards the elderly residents. I thereby thank you for your attention and support for this estate with your kind hearts. đ„°
This channel is to promote the lives of our dear hawkers who have dedicated their lives to making SINGAPORE a truly gastronomical country to live in. Its aim is to preserve what's left because I was truly disappointed about us earning the INTERNATIONAL HERITAGE AWARD and yet many of them are quietly fading away day by day. I want to encapsulate this sunset moment for many so that our future generations might remember.
I wish you all to
Live well and Enjoy food đđ„°
Hello. In this case, it would be kind of u if u amend and give a title that this video deserves. Thank u.
No doubt i know the aunties n uncles there are great folks since i live there. But even if the internet labels this neighbourhood as such, there's no need for u to follow blindly. This is very disrespecful to all residents living there including the aunties and uncles at the food centre.
As a youtuber and a social media influencer, there should be better thought to how u present your videos to everyone n this means the whole package from the content, how you film it, the title and captions etc.
It would be much appreciated if you make revisions to your video title regardless.
Stop ur pretending.. guess u must be very happy when u saw more comments on the video⊠âstopâ pretending⊠what is unacceptable is that you took the video of them pretending like a âfood bloggerâ and helping them to promote.. yet u put purposely put the such a disrespectful title ⊠shame on u
Class act Piggy. Being able to step back and respond constructively to criticism while still standing your ground says a lot about your character.
One can eat like a pig, but one should not act like a pig.
And one is a real class act when one knows their mistakes and have the courage to make amends and not hide behind the keyboard. Name calling the under privileged is not something that we should advocate or rejoices in it.. So if Piggy keeps his ground and standby the title, yes, it tells me his true character. Someone that do not know how to respect others.
Of course Piggy can choose to keep the title, I will simply avoid and block this channel.
Thanks for sharing your videos. But I don't think Poorest Estate Hawker, is a fair way to describe the hawker centre and its estate. The place is clean and comfortable. Poorest suggests otherwise and I am sure the residents will not appreciate it.
Most of the flats around vicinity are rental units.
TH,
There are many places in the world where the people are relatively poor (as in low assets and income) but, nevertheless, most live out dignified, rewarding and positive lives. Most of the residents of Jalan Kukoh seem to fit this bill. In contrast, many of the 'homeless' people of places like the US and the UK have relatively high incomes, but through all sorts of reasons -- drug addiction, mental health, simply being degenerates -- live out appalling lives that are nasty, mean, brutish and short.
Poor doesn't necessarily mean bad. It is much more complex than that.
As for Piggy's video, what a fantastic insight into the lives of Singapore's less privileged!
Agreed, that's not a proper name for it it is one of the oldest hawker centre in SG.
Well expressed and agreed. Sometimes we need to be more sensitive to society and community that are trying to get back on their feet. Appreciate the video producer showing dignity to the neighbourhood and retitling the video posted.
@@markjones2781 I couldn't agree more with your most level headed analysis. Seems like there's alot of fragile ego people here or those with an altered sense of righteousness. Fact is just to qualify to be able to rent subsidized "rental" flat is $1500 for combined income of all household members. Poor means poor, just accept it. But does not mean bad. I know a lot of happy poor people who are very kind and gracious and shockingly more generous and open to helping others compared to the "rich" ones. The kind people will offer some help or empathize. The muddled headed and those with elevated self worth will feel insulted.
Thank you for your hard work. Seriously this hawker centre is a gem! Although tagged "poorest" but the owners of each stalls you visited are very rich in their hearts. And probably the only one where the kind hearted stall owners so readily blanja food reviewers đ
Thank you Minmin..
You definitely saw the intention..
The people are all RICH in their Hearts đ„°
Hi Minmin. I'm living in Europe. Singapore is a so beautiful and well organized city. Until Plandemic my favorite city.
The food and varity of food is amazing. Piggypuggy does very good work.
When you visiting Switzerland or South of Black Forest you may say helo!đ
One of the best teochew kuay. Have been buying for many many years. Order in the morning, collect in the evening, fresh for dinner.
đ„°đđ
PP,seriously I am oblivious to this estate,thank you so much for this traditional and nostalgia morning breakfast haunts.Some stallholders are very amicable.Truly appreciate ur time to explore an interesting đ đ đč video.Definitely will visit for my next breakfast trip!!!đđ
Lucy it's also my first time here.. đ
But my family members been ordering from this Teochew Kueh for the longest time
What a lovely hawker centre. I cant believe ive never even heard of it.
If breakfast, I try to wake up early enough to grab the Teochew kueh. For lunch, usually the economy rice/porridge stall... Thank you for another great coverage!
Hello from Naples, Florida. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. (like 532) đ
Woohoo! Thank you Flip Flops đ©Ž
Iâm in them every day too đ
thank you for sharing..will surely go & try the food ! Got to be early !đ
Looking forward to visit this hawker. The Kueh looks so good
Glad I got this place some Attention đ
Remember to call and order.. best just to pick up around 6 coz they steaming it at 3-5
The hawkers there are all so friendly too!
Jalan Kukoh may be one of the oldest estate, but to name it as âpoorest estateâ is really uncalled for.
Agree!
Thank you for sharing uncommon hawker in Singapore! I really enjoy watching your tour video when Iâm having my meals, kinda make my food tastier. Keep exploring the lesser known hawkers, thanks!
Thanks for your kind words Roger.. đ
Trying to cover as many hawkers in Singapore to make it a complete collection
Super amazing! đ€©đ€© Watching streetfood vendors action is never boring. Very nice footage! Thanks so much for the share experience! đđ
Taste Good@Home Town Cooked đđżđđż
Thanks for posting.
I will definitely go here one day.
Wah this is a gem leh. All the og hawkers that cook themselves.
That auntie porridge stall so nice. Unlike that wonton uncle. Cannot say cannot lah,give attitude somemore. Wont buy from him even if is last wonton stall in sg.
Oldies but Goodies. These food stalls wouldn't have longevity if not for their culinary skill. I love their considerate pricing for their neighbours. Appreciate your skills in uncovering this nugget.đ Is Teochew dialect relatable to Hokkien ?
There are both different dialects but somehow I think both are somewhat able to understand each other đ or maybe I'm half of each.. they kinda sound similar for common words
Love ur video eh! Funny about the pig skin part. Some hawker uncles n aunties r so nice, really need treasure such culture in the future.
I like how you interact with the hawkers, quality content, keep up the good work bro.
Food Coma, Food Coma, Food Coma, Food Coma, Food Coma, Food Coma. đ
More food coma to come sooooooooooonn.. Burp đ
Old hawker centre, they are more friendly than food court.
This is not a poor estate hawker centre, itâs just that this place is an estate with more elderly people. Therefore, the prices is cater more towards this group of people. You can visit this place to eat nostalgic Teow chew food đ
Wow! Thank you for this. This place brings back memories.
Thanks for sharing... Will visit
Used to have a TomYam soup stall- very unique, will add fried scrambled egg onto tomyam soup.
yeah.. someone said there was one that he's patronizing for 20 years.. I didn't see itbwhile obwas there.. maybe off day
Wah looks so marvelicious!!!
OMG EVERYTHING LOOK SO GOOD! I hope you managed to finish all & no wastage đ
The uncles n aunties so nice too
đ„°đ„°đ„°
Wah I have never seen the name before too, let alone the hawker centre
you are right about pig blood curds, without it, the pig organs soup just isn't the same anymore.
I'm in Thailand now.. enjoying blood curds đđ
@@Piggypuggy oh manâŠyou just enjoy!
32:15 you trying to laugh like the mixed rice aunty ah? heeeerrrr herrrr herrrrr.... anyway the 2 paus you had were also very interesting!
love this
the texture of that porridge OMGGGGG i loveeeeeeee
I'm glad I found your channel. Before, I thought that there were only five hawker centers in Singapore.
Ve ri go od you like chuc ban luĂŽn mai man nhe chuc đ»đłđ»đłđ
this is one of the oldest, nothing anything near poorest. our so called cheapest neighborhood Yishun has a unit sold for a million + sgd and this area locate at near central of Singapore, i dont know how this area can be called poorest.
Quite ridiculous that the other Tom yum fish soup stall not featured at all here. I been eating that stall for more than 20 years purely for the Tom yum fish soup and fried omelette.
Sorry.. I didn't see it during my visit..
Old already đ
Which stall is it next to?
Bring my family there tomorrow!
quite cool~ đČ
đČ
Awesome, gonna buy me some teo chew kuay.
Must call to order pls.. if not it will be left to luck to see what's available đ
@@Piggypuggy got it.
Everyone was SOOOO friendly......
Wah!! They like you!! Get FOC!!!!đ„°
Yalor.. always have to fight to pay for my food đ I always just shaft them a bigger amount note and see what they do..
Folks- before you start forming opinions about the title of the vid, try reading the author's intro first. He's referencing the district and not downplaying it. Happy eating everyone!
Haha..thank you Mr. Wrong đ„°
Pau Power đ
đ missed having Paus?
Need to come back laa kopi leh...
@@Piggypuggy Lotus paste Pau and Kopi C kosong lah
choo too port look nicesnicess wow so many nicess foods good Thanks vidoes
Used to work opposite years ago and would occasionally have lunch here. There was a fish soup stall with a very friendly lady, always give our group a free omelette. Visited once during covid, but didn't eat anything. The wanton mee looks bad, the wantons are very tiny.
It was my first time visiting đ
But my family been ordering kuehs for the longest time
First time I heard of this fc. Thanks for bringing us there.
I love the old district, much more homey feeling.
Have a walk around the neighbourhood Emmy.. I filmed loads but just didnât show it in my videos
Snuck right between Outram Park and Chinatown MRT off Chin Swee Road.
I really enjoy what these hawker stalls have to offer but it is so far from where I live. The bitter gourd pork ribs soup looks really good, so generous with the bitter gourd. And the pao filllings so generous! Hmm... must find time to travel there. Thank you for sharing these gems.
Not a good title for the video : "poorest estate... "
Why do you consider the estate is poorest ?
Is all the poorest people living there, or the hawker centre is being old and small ?
Yes totally agree. The older they are the more hardworking they can be cos of their upbringing. Those days parents work as coolie mostly hard earned $.. unlike these days generation very lucky. Those days wanna eat chicken fish meat drinks need to wait for ancestral prayer offering or chinese new year. Unlike now u can eat ..or wear new clothes anytime.
@@moonstars6279 I missed the good old days, simple and happy.
mei lin street hawker nicesss wanton mee porridge nicess i try before mee hoon nicesssss Thankyou vidoes
Eh, taucheo is NOT black beans lah. It's just regular fermented soya beans, almost as light-tasting as miso. Black beans are what you fry with beef or pork ribs, like in a beef horfun, with a strong smokey flavour. You got to know your beans man.. đ
But other than that, thanks for this video. I haven't been there before and will do so soon! đ€
I think he mixed up with tau see.
Hahaha.. I just know how to Jiak.. eat eat eat.. can't be a food commentator
æć·äșșćź¶è”·äșș..äŸäŸć !đđđ
đ„°đđ„°
The pig organ's soup here looks more legit than the famous one at Tiong Bahru đ ... not a FC I wld visit but I may just go n check it out after this video
My first time there too.. went back at 2 and some were already wrapping up
Tried the organ soup this afternoon⊠I find it average..
Thank you for this nice video. I really like it. It's always nice to visit your channel. Love your content! : )
Come check out this guy's video!!!
He has much to offer đđđ
I remembered you had one on Jalan Kukoh
@@Piggypuggy Thank you! đ
Wowwwww... i'm most impressed with your appetite... If you need another channel name, it has to be PiggyPudgy! Hahaha... anyway the kueh is possibly the best anywhere. been eating for years. Better order in advance.
I. Feel. Like. đđđ
After 5 months, you're still calling it "SINGAPORE POOREST NEIGHBOURHOOD HAWKER - JALAN KUKOH FOOD CENTRE TOUR". Speechless.
This estate populated with poorest Singapore residents living in hdb rental flats. Many charity organizations do house to house food distribution there.
Please check again before you want to post such information . Are you 100% very sure â populated with poorest spore residentsâ. ?
Poorest , some more ..
đđ 3 in 1 dish, the aunty very fast, very traditional food, đđ
Next time when youâre having the lotus paste bao at home try at butter or margarine
Lotus paste Bao with Butter?? đ
I love the idea!! I Shall Try it đ
It's like Sweet Bao on Steroids
Ahhh the Kueh is the same as what we have in Chinatown Saigon
Same for me. Fish soup has never been my go to in hawker center
Pork Bun!!! Look at that amazing stuffing!! I'm commenting as I watch the video đđđ
Wow.. seems like this Kueh tradition from China has long lived its roots across asia
And always tempted to comment as I watch your videos too.. but don't know how.. đđđ
đđđđđ
Thanks Chandra đ
Thank u
Thank you kthoaluu
Pig organ uncle so cute passion, wish him long life
so nice/kind of the porridge lady!
9:15 This "yu char kuey" really that stall in the 70s opposite Tanjong Pagar Market by the road side on Tras Link?
They said they are by the road beside Yan Kit Swimming Pool (Craig road).. maybe there was another stall at Tras. You know that place too?? đ
@@Piggypuggy don't remember a stall by the road besides the pool though
I didn't know that the poorest estate is so near the Singapore River! Was expecting houses near to extreme ends of Singapore.
Just across the road next to Singapore River lived the rich people. The stark contrast is very apparent when you see a main road dividing the affluent and the underprivileged.
Since you labelled the place is the poorest estate hawker in Singapore, you should pay for your meals.
I did actually.. except for the drink which I had later bought another 5 from her đ
from the converation, not just good food, the äșșæ if definitely way above. Free food for you, i can be your runner :)
By the way KuKoh means Inner Strength in Malay and I am sure the people leaving there has that inner strength in them.
Wow..đź I learnt something
INNER STRENGTH đ
How is Jalan Kukoh the poorest estate? It's centrally located. I would assume it's an expensive area. How do u actually even define poor and rich hdb estate in Singapore?
Go there and see for yourself. Don't just talk cock here.
Title of the video is not appropriate. Please change it.
Nice estate ⊠why poorest ??đ€đ€
Nooo.. poorest is just what the internet had stigmatized it. people are all RICH and kind in hearts
Great stream, as always. I appreciate the level-headed approach you take to the news and the markets. A lot has changed and that's on everything but the truth is I don't even care much about bullish or bearish market anymore because Mr Richard Scote got me cover as I am comfortably making 1.5B T C monthly...

Honestly have seen people around my neighborhood that actually gets 120K per month trading, thanks for the info dude am happy that I came across this information . You are best keep the good work going , I will get in touch with Richard Asap and begin my investment and trading journey with he's platform ...
Holders remains indecisive if this is a continuous uptrend and wether btc would hit it's all time high in mid march as predicted by analysts or if this little uptrend is a trick to a new fallout in bitcoin prices. More the less, now is the perfect time to start trading your coins. Iâm not bothered because Iâve made over 16 btc
tesbn tuyet v ngon thank
èć©ć€é small profit, more sales
poorest as in no money poor or structure/cleanliness poor? from the price of food I wouldn't say poorest. still normal usual hawker price
Maybe housing prices.
There is so much of the Singaporean cuisine that I miss, but thank God Iâm allergic to pork. Pig organs? No. Just. No.
hey Puggy, please do not follow blindly just because the media or internet label a place/person as such. imagine someone's family members & friends from that area, put your feelings in their shoes. change the title lah! the title is demeaning and the use of capital letters amplifies it even more. please be more sensitive to this.
Hello Aloha.. yeah laa.. I was researching Jalan Kukoh on the internet and all I find was it being stimatized as one of the lowest income neighborhood... So I wanted to show that it's nothing but poor. And even though I've already clearly put down in my description box about my experience of finding it instead to be nice and pleasant.. the title was like the headline in neon lights. Anyway... Good laa.. now the quiet hawker centre has gotten the attention it requires đđđ.. hope everybody comes here to kaypoh kaypoh coz of me
Disrespectful video title.
Doubts with regards to video filming ethics.
Got scolded by the uncle at 12:28, and just laughed it off?
Free food = full of praises. Paid for the food = open to criticism
Please pay even they say NO. Cos you are filming as youtuber also making $
I was there last Friday but the dim sum pau stall was no longer around.
The poorest of all is creator's choice of words.
lookfresh fish bea ka fish sour ching ching very good Thanks wonderful good
30:07 he was saying èć©ć€é! it means earning by selling more with small profit only, cos a lot of old folks might not be able to pay for it if the price is set too high, thanks @Piggypuggy for the video!
đ thanks for helping me out.. I understoof him saying he's keeping prices low for the elderly to afford having his soup.. so I guessed he's saying he's keeping the margin low. Thanks Don!
I think it's rude of you to label this hawker centre as poorest. It's really very unfair to the residents staying there. Kindly think before labelling. Thanks
There are a lot of rich people stay here. You never know
jalankukoh isoneofhepoorest area of spore yet therere arequte yummy foodthere!
Singapore hawker all the same lah bro
Oh i use to stay there it's near chinatown
đ me stay around Chinatown too
I strongly oppose your caption saying this HC is the poorest. In what sense? poor quality? poor attitude. I appreciate that u can take down this video. it is hurtful.
no need to take down the video. just change the title. jeez....
may I know what time you were there? a few time, when I tried visit, even before the pandemic, not many stalls open
Just drop by there on the weekdays from morning till lunch hours.
And you will find most of the stores open.
tried going there nearing to 2pm and most of the food stalls were already close!
True.. most cater for the residents earlier in the morn.. a good time would be 11 plus.. after which some stalls.will close by 2
i wonder if the niang tou fu store is still around anot..
Yessss.. the HAKKA YONG TAU FU
I think your description is alittle off.
Next, I have been to this hawker center for years since Iâm a kid.. The kway stall, I would like to give a negative rating to them. No matter how early you go, they will always be âsold outâ. A matter of fact, due to rental is much cheaper than renting a factory. Authourity should look into this. Definition of hawker and central kitchen is different. They are house in a hawker center but preparing food for pre order and pick up between 5am-7am. Rest of the time, preparing food for the next day. Aint this a central kitchen setting?
NO to wanton noodle. Look terrible.
sadly nobodymakethesoldbut goldennuggets anymore
Where is it located? Any mrt station nearby ?
Opposite manhattan house at chin swee Road
Wow.. I also don't know how to walk there from the nearest Outram MRT.. after the construction of CTE tunnel in 1990. This estate like been cut off the society. Maybe a very short taxi ride from Outram mrt
Pao lee kou seow = èć©ć€é·
The stall owner is so friendly to you.. Did you you told them that you are going to use the header âpoorestâ to gain attention.. ?? Unappreciative your video and how do you think the resident feel?
Wanton Mee stall old uncle why didn't wear mask
I don't know this place
Really hidden place.. a.stone throws away from the opposite Clarke Quay.. cut off from society since Chin Swee CTE tunnel construction in 1980s
Excuse me, im a resident there and it is plain rude for you to describe this neighbourhood in this manner. Have some respect pls.
