Third-generation kacang puteh seller, Amirthaalangaram Moorthy, previously operated his business out of a humble pushcart at the entrance of Peace Centre. SBS Transit approached Moorthy in April 2023 to offer him a rent-free spot at Toa Payoh Bus Interchange, and he now operates from a specially designed kiosk with decals of a kacang puteh man on the exterior and proper signage.
