Hawkers In Maxwell Food Centre: Keeping The Legacy Alive | On The Red Dot | Singapore Hawkers

Located in the CBD, Maxwell Food Centre is one of Singapore’s most well-known hawker centres. But with work-from-home now the default, the absence of working crowds takes a toll on the hawkers there. The owners of two well known stalls, China Street Fritters and Oriental Duck Stall, have survived decades in the hawker trade. Originating from roadside stalls at China Street, these hawkers have seen themselves through SARS, bouts of avian and swine flu, as well as the 2008 financial crisis. But with age catching up to them, and no successor in sight, they reckon with the fact that COVID-19 may be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back. =========== About On The Red Dot: CNA's weekly programme documents the stories of ordinary Singaporeans and celebrates their resilience, identity and sense of belonging. =========== On The Red Dot playlist:    • On The Red Dot | Full Episodes   #CNAInsider #OnTheRedDot #Singapore #HawkerCentre #SingaporeHawker For more, SUBSCRIBE to CNA INSIDER! https://cna.asia/insideryoutubesub Follow CNA INSIDER on: Instagram:   / cnainsider   Facebook:   / cnainsider   Website: https://cna.asia/cnainsider
