(Q38)

Revision as of 07:10, 19 December 2023 by Mycommunitysg (talk | contribs) (‎Removed claim: Provenance/History (P17): It saved them the effort of moving around; people knew where they were, and they offered seating for their customers. Most of all, the variety and array of food and drinks of all ethnic origins made these stalls a compelling one-stop destination for lunch or dinner.)

Provenance/History
While the food itself was an attraction, it was the relationships built over the years that pulled people back – even after they had moved out of the area.

Goh Chok Tong was one such faithful customer, “Even after I moved out of Queenstown, when I was staying in the Holland Road area, I would still go back there to buy my fruits from the man whom I knew. He is trustworthy, I would never ask him how much the price was. Just chose the fruits and then he would charge me accordingly.”
