Скачать или смотреть Are hawkers financially sustainable in Singapore?

Hawker culture is very important to Singapore culture.

Central to the definition of HAWKER is the idea that hawker food should be CHEAP and GOOD; but are hawkers still financially sustainable in a world with aggressive inflation? Can hawker prices keep up with inflation and still satisfy customer expectations of low prices?

We talk about this and more with Faye Sai, one of the three siblings that run Coffee Break: a third-generation hawker store at Amoy Street Food Center. They took over the stall from their father, and they serve traditional-style coffee in a hawker setting.
