- Building on the success of the Urban Hawker concept in New York City, Singapore food sellers there now want to take their local dishes across America. At least a quarter of the operators plan to set up shop in other states like California.

May Urban Hawker prosperous and business expand. Majulah Singapore brand.👍
Kudos to KF Seetoh and Urban Hawker! I remember seeing many salty comments(especially our always salty neighbor) when it first opened with some even saying it won't last. Glad to see its still thriving.
Good job Singapore 🇸🇬
Steady la Singaporean! 👍👍👍👍👍
Good job guys👍, how about here in ph i love singapore food
People comparing prices should travel more.
In Sg, both the hawkers and customers get squeezed. Where does the profit go to? In other countries, the hawkers reap more of the profit though the customers pay more. In Sg, when hawkers increase the price, the landlords and govt agencies will try, in one way or another, to share the bacon. It is a vicious cycle in Sg. The customers will end up pay more and more but the problem is still there. The hawkers are not reaping more even though they may be charging more. It is the landlords and govt agencies laughing their way to the bank. This is why the customers are complaining.
what is singapore local food?
That looks more like a food court than a hawker centre...
That's why the name is Urban Hawker not Hawker Food Centre.
The same plate of food cost S$3.75 in Singapore turns into $18.75+ a plate in NYC... Ka-ching!
Why did these hawkers not consider the idea earlier?
Probably because of the dangers that is often depicted in America (and mafia for New York)?
There is only singapore chicken rice. The other-dishes are fusion-democractic world-international everything
God is the best ever
$19 for chicken rice, sure hope local prices don't go to specialty prices
Lies again? American Education Sony Pictures
@@xijinpig7978 i think its more of the rent. New york rent prices are quite unreasonable.
@@singaporeseaslugs1393 NYC labor is expensive because they have unions and minimal wages. NYC income taxes are higher than Singapore.
The only thing these local hawkers think of is pricing but they fail to factor in expenses.
@@xijinpig7978 if you are referring to Singapore citizens it is Singaporeans and not the word you used which is insulting. Thank you.
It is not good to charge premium for SGD$3 chicken rice to become USD13.
US $19 for Chicken Rice! Good lordy ....
they think angmo stupid lol
Learn from the fast food biz. Employ the old aged 80s, the students aged 14, pay them $4 an hour. Create stable job opportunities, learning opportunities. Then earn big bucks. Ya. I an trying to be sarcastic.
I just hope it's true entrepreneurship, and not using taxpayers' money.
While back in Singapore, many eateries are operated by foreigners, how ironic. 😂
He talks Kampong
If you're chef, go western, don't stay in Asia as cheap labour for majority cooks.
Nasi Padang in NYC...
1 person = USD 20.00
Rip off lol
How are you going to pay rent selling Malay cuisine?
Chinese Cuisine can command higher prices because of prestige.
Look at Local prices.
Malay stores can charge $ 400 for pax of 2?
No way!
Can chinese food do it?
Yes!
