The perfect remedy after a long day is – arguably – a humble meal and a complementary cup of kopi/teh in the homespun communal space of a hawker centre. Our hawker culture is a defining hallmark of the Singaporean food scene, with practices like idiosyncratic methods of kopi/teh brewing perpetuated through time.

Queenstown, with its rising population, was a natural magnet for itinerant hawkers. Many were residents, but a fair sum also came from other parts of Singapore as far as Thomson Road – such as Lim Thiam Choor, who started selling popiah (Hokkien: spring rolls) from his bicycle cart in 1961. Today, the 67-year old is a popiah legend at the food centre in Commonwealth Avenue.
