Summary
In New Stirrings: Innovation and New Blood, a new generation of hawkers is redefining what it means to cook, create and serve. At Jalan Batu, 24-year-old Fikri Rohaimi, who once worked in Michelin-starred kitchens, now brings restaurant-quality dishes to a hawker stall. At Ghim Moh, Amber Pang’s artisanal bakes bring a breath of fresh air to one of Singapore’s oldest hawker centres.
Across the island, robots share the kitchen. From M Plus Fried Rice’s wok hei machine to Steven Lam’s glutinous rice dispenser, they prove that innovation can honour tradition. For others, purpose drives change. Madeline Chan uses her coffee stall to support refugees, while Li Jiali finds healing through pancakes. And through NEA’s Incubation Stall Programme and Social Enterprise Hawker Centres, new hawkers like Jordan Xiao and Rick Tan are finding their footing. This episode celebrates how fresh ideas and fearless hearts are keeping Singapore’s hawker spirit alive.
