For more than 35 years, regulars at A1 Food Centre in the BDC Commercial Centre have known one food vendor simply as ‘Kueh Chap’—a nickname inspired by his signature Teochew dish.

The traditional dish features flat rice noodles served in a rich, herbal soy-based broth, accompanied by an assortment of braised pork, offal, tofu, and boiled eggs.

The ever-friendly 65-year-old vendor, who prefers to be known by his nickname, starts his day early to prepare the dish for his loyal customers.

After decades of refining his craft, he has mastered the art of preparing the traditional delicacy, developing his signature recipe through years of dedication and practice.
