This famous Cantonese zi-char won’t be closing anymore?

It seems that beloved food spot Claypot & Cooked Food Kitchen will remain open. Earlier this week, photos surfaced on the popular Facebook group Hawkers United: Dabao 2020, showing the stall in operation.

Uncle Hong has run Claypot & Cooked Food Kitchen for many years and become a cherished figure in Singapore’s hawker scene. Known for his signature claypot rice and other delicious dishes, he draws long queues of loyal customers.

However, Uncle Hong is approaching retirement, and many have been concerned that his stall will close down once he steps away. Fortunately, there’s promising news for his fans: Uncle Hong has been spotted teaching the owner of the stall next dorr how to cook his recipes. This has sparked rumours that the business will continue after his retirement.

This transition seems to be a thoughtful and smooth one, with Uncle Hong passing down his culinary knowledge to ensure that the food stall continues to operate with the same authenticity and quality. The neighbour whom he’s been mentoring could very well take over the reins, ensuring that the legacy of Claypot & Cooked Food Kitchen lives on.

This gesture highlights the importance of preserving local food traditions and keeping hawker culture alive. It’s especially true in a city like Singapore, where beloved stalls are often passed from generation to generation.
