So now stall operators need to pass SOC in order to conduct their business in Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre, since they will need to clear the counter top to get out of their stall in the even of fire? 😅 On a serious note, why place the fire extinguisher outside the stall if the stall personnel are not allowed to gain access to their stall from the front? Any safety expert can confirm if the design of the new hawker centre violated the fire safety requirements? Source: https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/hawkers-worry-about-stall-design-after-fire-at-newly-opened-bukit-canberra-hawker-centre SINGAPORE - Foodcourt operator Canopy Hawkers Group will check if additional mitigation measures are needed after hawkers raised safety concerns following a fire at the newly opened Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre last Tuesday. One hawker said she had to climb over the fixed counter at the front of her stall to escape when an unattended stove at Long Xiang Ho Chiak Scissors Cut Curry Rice caught fire. Several hawkers also pointed out that fire extinguishers are placed beyond their reach on walls outside their stalls. Canopy Hawkers Group said the design layout of the stalls was made in consultation with a Qualified Person prior to deployment and is in compliance with the Fire Code, including on means of escape. A Qualified Person is a registered architect or a professional engineer. The single-storey hawker centre has 44 stalls, which are arranged in five hexagonal structures of eight to nine stalls each. Each stall has openings at the back leading into a common area shared by other stalls in the same ring. There is only a single common door allowing exit from the interior of each ring. Madam Christine Lock, 47, who runs a nasi lemak stall two stalls away from the one that caught fire, said she was with her husband when the fire broke out. She said she managed to scramble over the fixed counter, which is about 80cm high, but is worried about older and less mobile hawkers. “What if there’s a 70-year-old man in the stall, who may not be fit enough to climb over? What then?” Madam Lock said that to reach the fire extinguishers placed in front of the stalls, hawkers have to go out from the back of their stall, and then past the single common exit door. A hawker who wanted to be known only as Mr Lee said: “It’s quite ridiculous. The fire extinguisher is far away. If the back catches fire, then I have to jump out over the front counter.” “At least I can still get out,” said the 29-year-old, who runs Mexican-Indian fusion food stall Snack That Food Up. “But others may not be able to.” Another hawker, who wanted to be known only as Ming, said it takes her about a minute to walk from her front counter to the back exit, and round to her stall front. She said: “Sometimes, customers with a disability buy my food. Once, it was peak lunch hour and I had to carry someone’s plate to the table for him, but there were other people queueing too. “It wastes a lot of my time to walk one big round, since there isn’t an opening at the front counter.” She added that she had raised the issue with Canopy Hawkers Group several times. Darren (not his real name), who has been in the hawker business for more than 10 years and runs a stall at the hawker centre, said stallholders were informed of Canopy Hawkers Group’s “front counter clause” prior to the centre’s opening in December 2022. The Straits Times understands that stallholders had signed contracts that state that the stall front should allow for no entrance or exit of any person from the front of the stall. Tenants also have to place fire extinguishers within the stall. Canopy Hawkers Group, which has had experience running various foodcourts and coffee shops over the past 12 years, said the hawker centre, which is its first, was inspected for fire safety on Sept 13, 2022. An SCDF spokesman confirmed on Saturday that a Temporary Fire Permit, allowing the owner of the hawker centre to operate for 11 months before obtaining a Fire Safety Certificate, was issued to Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre on Sept 13. The permit is issued only if the fire safety work of a project has been satisfactorily completed with only very minor outstanding issues, he added. The certificate will be issued only after the completion of all fire safety works in the project.

Heard there is a famous crab stall at Blk 200 plus in AMK. Anyone know of this place? Understand it is run by two brothers? Yummy crab...

Reproduced here from one of my earlier posts: Long long time ago in the western part of an island there was a tiny kampong. In this kampong there was a famous chilli crab stall which due to it's previous owners' sheer hard work & determination made it the biggest both in terms of size & turnover in the whole island. And this caught the attention of folks from all over the island through word of mouth. The owner was even invited many times to other islands to teach the people how to whip up a nice spicy plate of A-class chilli crab. When there were rumours of several small operators each wanting to also set up chilli crab stalls to grab scraps of the kampong market share, the present owner quickly issued a statement: "My stall sources the best crabs in the whole island-there can be no other juicy crabs that others can get. The point is, there are no way these guys can get good-eating crabs because I myself have tried very hard to get them in the first place. In order for foodies to continue getting their delicious chilli crab, it is important that they continue to support just mine and not other stalls. If they want to try-try other stalls, there will be one day whereby my stall will no longer be viable and that they will not able to get a fix of my A-class chilli crab anymore. I know folks out there are saying that my stall is too dominating and my chilli crab is very expensive but you can be assured of the quality, nevermind there were unconfirmed cases of suspected food poisoning cases traced to my stall, the sales speaks volumes-even when my kampong stall is tucked at a remote corner in the western area where tigers roam, my supporters still flock there to taste my chilli crab. So is this good or bad? You decide. I am also aware that a previous owner mentioned that my few dedicated chief chefs should not work too long but retire to make way for aspiring young ones but I think given that these experienced guys are very difficult to find, I have to respectfully disagree with him on this. There were lately some grouses that I have employed some very young & inexperience managers who may not even know how to serve customers. Although they did not have to go through job interviews and can directly join in any of my departments, I can assure you that they are good people so please give them a chance to prove themselves to serve you better. I just want to send a message across the whole island that there can be only ONE true chilli crab store. No other stall can get the best crabs so if you think there can be another or few more like mine then you are dead wrong. I intend to make my kampong stall the best in the region if not the whole world so please continue to support me and the ones that will be replacing me. Remember there can ONLY BE ONE."

due to the 3 days of non stop rain, i think the crowd has been giving chinatown a miss. the weekends are the days where they can make the most profits, but i think its not going to be good for them this year

The goreng pisang stall at Old Airport Hawker Centre dun accept 5ct coin. There is a notice pasted at the front of the stall. By doing so, is the stall owner committing an offence under the Currency Act?

STOMPer Karen witnessed helpers at a well-known 'tze char' or cooked food stall in Yishun carelessly preparing raw meat on the floor at the back of the stall. According to the STOMPer, the workers also dump innards and unwanted parts into the drain nearby. She relates the incident to STOMP in an email: "There is a tze char food stall at Block 654 Yishun Ave 4 called 妹记大排档. "Ever since it was featured on a TV entertainment programme, its dinner crowd boomed. "Perhaps its kitchen is overwhelmed by food orders, the stall's helpers have started to process raw food on the floor at the back of the food centre, right next to pails that held used dining ware. "I have also attached photos which show how a kitchen helper had placed a clear sheet of plastic on the grimy floor. That same sheet of clear plastic was later placed on top of some patty he had prepared. "Raw meats that fell onto the floor were simply picked up and tossed back into the lot, and brought back into the kitchen. "Furthermore, when the kitchen helpers were done with their meat, they would conveniently dispose of the filthy water and unwanted animal innards onto the floor and down the drains. "It was disgusting how bloody pools would form in the grooves of the parking lot closest to the back of the food centre. "My family has brought this issue up to the attention of the National Environment Agency. We provided photo evidence too. "Disappointingly, the officer assigned to this matter replied to say nothing incriminating was found. "It is worthwhile to note that the officer had conducted a 'discreet inspection' at 8.30am on a Monday morning. Tze char stalls start work late morning and get busy towards dinner time. "It would seem a lot more appropriate if the officer had conducted his 'discreet inspection' on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, so I am very surprised that was not done. "I am surprised by the nonchalance of NEA in this matter, when the agency has always preached the importance of food safety and public hygiene in Singapore."

Hey all seniors! I have encounter this problem ocassionally: 1) Normally, When i drive with AC on, the idling is at 1200-1300, and when i off my AC, its at 700-800 . But i had this problem yesterday (again..had this a few times liao) after driving for 10mins, i decided to off my AC during a jam,then my idle falls to 200-400 suddenly, and engine stall and cut off eveything! scary! but when i turn my AC on the idle went up to 800 and car is back to normally but brakes and ride felt weird. What seems to be the problem? 2) Whenever after i parked my car, i will let it cool down and idle for 2mins without my AC, then similar problem occurs ocassionally - the engine will then idle low similar as above 200-400, and it will cut off by itself... Anyone can help?

I am referring to the just concluded series Buzz the Cashier that was on Channel 8. I think its in the vicinity of Bedok Reservoir(BlK7xx). At the last show, it was commented that its chilli is the best. Thank You.
