    We're all fans of hawker-fare. The humble hawker stall is firmly embedded in the Malaysian cultural landscape, an icon of our heritage on daily display in the museum of our streets.
    Yet do we know anything about the people behind the stalls? The old and overlooked men and women... have we ever imagined the world from behind those tiny kitchens of aluminium and perspex?
    We love their food, but what do we know about the things they cherish, what keeps them cooking, day in and day out? Do we know how it feels when one out of a thousand bowl of noodles don't turn out right, to bear the often unkind criticism that follow?
    Unlike influencers of today, our local hawkers are not particularly well-groomed, articulate or savvy. But they are masters who have perfected their craft, and they deserve all our respect.
    This documentary attempts to bring us closer to their world. We hope to preserve their stories so the next generation of Malaysians will know who they were, and how our amazing food came to be.
    These are our Local Legends.

    It has been pointed out that our friends here are all Chinese hawkers. That's true! We're definitely looking to feature more diverse Malaysian stories and people in our upcoming videos. Stay tuned :)

      ​@@illusionxmuta I don't know if you'd consider it a hawker centre per se, but there's a place in SS19 Subang Jaya that conceptually resembles it. They have several stalls within that sells nasi campur and nasi lemak in the day, and at night, you get a mix of satay, nasi ayam, and what I consider Malay tai chow :)

    To the content creator, fantastic work and content that inspires the "wanna be chefs" in most of us but also to recognize the hard work and life sacrificed for passion of serving customers good food.

    Love Malaysian hawker food especially Penang hawker food. What I love about this video is not only the quality content but also the excellent quality video production. Not like some youtubers going around filming low quality video and giving low quality presentation. Really love the cinematography and the trouble you guys went about setting up video lightings for the best production quality. Keep up with this excellent work. You guys/gals are the true legends.
