Singapore's next generation hawkers | Belly Of A Nation | Part 2 | Full Episode

If you enjoyed this two-part documentary, make sure to check out Season 2 of Belly of a Nation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rUyp5r3ZU4&list=PLkMf14VQEvTZ_YBYzLM0AAw5HmF6bii5J There we follow different Singapore hawkers over 9 months and captures their blood, sweat and tears as they dish out salivating Oyster Omelette, Wonton Noodles, Appam, Tze Char Poke Bowls, Mee Siam and many more while trying to cope with COVID-19.

After visiting Singapore for a couple of times, I'm inclined to say that the heart and soul of this place is not with its skyscrapers or its modern day business establishments but from these hawker centers.

shit, honestly CNA have pretty darn good documentaries... why arent more people viewing this... WHY DID I ONLY VIEW THIS NOW?!?!

Singaporean are lucky...we have choices..from hawker centre food starting at $3 to high end restaurants to choose from. Not many first world countries have such option. Hawker food is very much part of our country culture.

To all the hawkers around Singapore, Thank you very much for all the hard work to bring us all kinds of good food. Greatly appreciated. Thank you once again🙏🏻

I'm from mexico!! And never been to singapore but i just find this documentary amazing!! And lovable!! Can't wait to travel to taste all this dishes!!

I opened this video thinking that I'll only watch 4-5 minutes & close the tab but here I am commenting after watching the whole documentary and sharing it on my facebook hahaha Thank you, CNA. Much love from Bangladesh and God bless you all.

Hawker is a trade in Singapore that only Singaporeans can practise. We should be proud of it.

Some of these hawkers story are very emotional, is great the new generation of youth taking over from their parents or grandparents. These are part of Asian traditional foods, once modernised, keep the place clean and tidy it will attract customers, new or old. Western fast food is proven as not health to human, but is the environment the fast food restaurants created as comfort, convenience and trendy. The hawker centre can do the same, when few stores form together it gives the consumers more of a choice and much more healthy food etc. Long live the hawkers store 😘😘😘

Respect and admiration for all hawkers!

Left Singapore over a decade, the hawker food is what I miss the most.

Our local heroes. Thank you for making our small country so famous all over the world for our amazing food. let’s continue to keep our traditions and keep our Singaporean blood strong and alive.

Support all Singapore hawkers. They are our heart and soul

All I can say is, this is a fantastic documentary.

Singapore always sets the bar high in everything. I think so long as the hawkers are creative with their dish (or dishes) they won't have anything to fear. The dish has got to be a niche dish...something they can call their own creation.

Yummy! Singapore's Hawkers food is a National treasure! Love that food!

Food from hawker centre taste the best hands down...they are the beating heart & soul of Singapore 😘

A bowl of hard worked prawn noodles sell for $4 and customers already complain its "expensive", but people are gladly paying $9-10 for a bowl of Japanese ramen, or $7-8 for Korean Ramen, which are essentially instant noodles with powdered soup, and add some meat. the mindset of customers must change also, that we must be willing to pay more for quality hawker food, and hawkers also need to learn to take breaks and take off. If working for 10 or 12 hours, and selling food at $2.50 or $3 is the "norm" for hawkers, then no one will want to do it. I dun mind $4 or $5 for food if i can tell its handmade. but i dun like how some newbies are using all factory made ingredients, to assemble their food, then sell it at high prices, and call it a "skill"

Proud of the first two hawkers and you could see from their face expressions they are proud of their grandfather and father....such fine young folks! I hope to meet them and eat their delicious looking food someday soon when the pandemic is over!

I really hope the young generation continue the hawker heart beat for many more generations to come. Food is what bring people together.
