Summary

Baron Ang, a university graduate once thrived as a regional manager in the Philippines. When COVID struck, he was forced to return to Singapore, stuck in lockdown and facing a sudden career crossroads.

Long hours, unpredictable income, and the social stigma of a hawker job in Singapore are challenging. Yet, through learning the trade and interacting with customers, Baron slowly discovers pride and passion in his work, redefining success on his own terms and what it truly means to make an honest living with one’s bare hands.
