She may be 88 years old, but Madam Chua Meow Ching still puts in 10 hours a day at the kway chap stall she runs five days a week. The hawker has been selling the dish for the past 56 years and still gets up at 3.30am on the days she opens her stall.
When asked why she is still working, Madam Chua, who runs Covent Garden Kway Chap in Havelock Road Food Centre with her two sons, said in Teochew: "I'm worried my sons cannot cope without me. So I help them."
