A Tale of Two Hawkers

Recently wifey and I went to Seah Im food centre for lunch before going to Sentosa.

Initially we ordered our favourite chicken rice which is tasty as usual. In fact this is my top 5 chicken rice stall in Singapore.

On top of that the aunty serving us is very friendly and courteous.

If you are interested, the stall name is Ding's Hainanese Chicken Rice.

After that we decided to try a hokkien mee from a stall with queue. So I went ahead to order.

Funny thing is the front of the stall has a placard that states 'One person one plate' and other conditions.

When my order is done I handed the money to the uncle and proceeded to take two pairs of chopsticks.

The uncle stared at me and with held my change. Then he told me one person one plate.

I don't really understand so I asked "cannot take two pairs of chop sticks?"

He said cannot so I put one pair back and walked away.

But what irked me are the words he said sacarstically before I walked off and I quote: "两块半已经很便宜了还要两个人吃!"

I have met some rude hawkers before but none as guai lan as this. To top it off, the hokkien mee actually tastes quite sucky.

The stall name is Cheng Ji Chao Xia Mian Hao Jian. It faces the main road.
