Teck Hin Fishball Noodle, run by Mr Tan Hay Yam and his wife, has been in business for nearly 50 years and is popular among its fans for its handmade fishballs. The other thing that Teck Hin Fishball Noodle has been in the news for is their multiple relocations. After several failed attempts, the stall seems to have found a new home at Block 159 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4, Food Tyrant Coffeeshop.

Initially, the stall was at 443 Clementi Ave 3 for 7 years, before moving to Bukit Timah Market & Food Centre in 2019. Upon the announcement that Bukit Timah Market & Food Centre would be demolished and hawkers had to move into an interim location, Mr and Mrs Tan announced that they would be shuttering.

The last day was scheduled to be 6 Dec 2023 – but the owners eventually decided to explore becoming a home-based business with the help of their daughter, Eugenia. Plans fell through, however, due to the startup cost and lack of storage for the equipment needed.

Mr and Mrs Tan have since had a rocky road, moving first to Commonwealth Drive, then Toa Payoh, and finally to Yishun before their new location at Ang Mo Kio. These attempts have cost the pair at least S$25,000.

Eugenia has disclosed that she has invested quite a significant amount into Teck Hin’s relocation. It will also be the last time she does so. She is currently helping her parents with the backend part of the business, such as food photography. Price adjustments will also be made – a regular bowl will now be S$5, and a large bowl is S$6.

Teck Hin Fishball Noodle is scheduled to have its official opening in November, and will operate daily from 7am to 3pm or until sold out.

China will 'play along to the end' with U.S., its top diplomat says
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Friday that China will "play along to the end" if the United States is bent on suppressing the country even though Beijing does not wish to be in conflict with Washington. Wang, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, said China would respond resolutely to unilateral "bullying" practices, but hopes the U.S. can work together with it in the same direction. Earlier this month, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped an additional 10% tariff on all Chinese goods despite having what he had described as a "good" telephone call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping weeks earlier.

Isolated Indigenous man returns to tribe in the Amazon rainforest after brief contact
A young man from an isolated Indigenous tribe who approached a riverine community in Brazil’s Amazon returned voluntarily to his people less than 24 hours later, Brazilian authorities said. Officials from Brazil's Indigenous affairs agency, Funai, arrived soon after and took him to a nearby facility. As a policy, Brazil does not actively seek contact with these groups but instead establishes protected and monitored areas, such as Mamoriá Grande, near where the encounter occurred.

US presented Ukraine with a document to access its minerals but offered almost nothing in return
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he directed his ministers not to sign off on a proposed agreement to give the United States access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals because the document was too focused on U.S. interests. The proposal, which was a key part of Zelenskyy’s talks with U.S. Vice President JD Vance on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on Friday, did not offer any specific security guarantees in return, according to one current and one former senior Ukrainian official familiar with the talks. Zelenskyy’s decision not to sign a deal, at least for now, was described as “short-sighted” by a senior White House official.
