It’s unfortunate to see how many hawker closures happen these days. In a recent Facebook post published in Can Eat! SG, Golden Mile Food Centre’s hidden chicken rice stall, Thailand Chicken Rice will temporarily close its doors on 14 Dec 2024 and reopen 6 Jan 2025.

Ran by lady boss May Lee, the stall has been delighting customers with her Thai-style Hainanese chicken rice. While we know working as a hawker is already a challenging feat, it doesn’t get any easier for May as she suffers from hand tremors due to a kidney-related condition she was born with.

Despite this, she continues to push through with her kind-hearted spirit, giving customers affordable and generously portioned plates of chicken rice. Customers can savour 1 Plate of Chicken Rice for either S$4 or S$5, with her popular, sought-after Thai chilli sauce made from scratch daily and a bowl of clear soup.

While not explicitly stated the reason for Thailand Chicken Rice’s temporary closure, it does seem that her condition does not seem to be improving as the years go by, with her hand pain becoming a bit too unbearable. Amidst the extremely competitive hawker business, May has also given away free portions of rice and her special chilli sauce!

While this isn’t a goodbye, this may be sad news for fans of her Thai-style chicken rice. With Thailand Chicken Rice’s temporary closure date slated for 14 Dec, if you happen to be in the area, let’s continue to show her support from now until then!

Lower turkey costs set table for cheaper US Thanksgiving feast this year
Inflation-weary consumers should see the cost of their classic Thanksgiving dinner gobble less of their paychecks this year, largely because Americans are buying less of the meal's centerpiece dish, turkey. The price tag of the traditional holiday meal, which also includes cranberries, sweet potatoes and stuffing, has dropped for a second consecutive year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation's annual survey released on Wednesday. Turkey prices dropped 6% on cooling demand as some consumers opted to add beef and pork to the menu, the Farm Bureau and market analysts said.

Japan finds massive rare metals deposit worth $26,290,800,000
A survey by the University of Tokyo and The Nippon Foundation from April 24 to June 9 has uncovered a vast deposit of rare earth metals worth an estimated $26.3 billion near Minami-Torishima Island. Located 3.5 miles (5,700 meters) below sea level, the deposit contains approximately 230 million tons of manganese nodules rich in cobalt and nickel, crucial components for electric vehicle batteries and other technologies. Semi-infinite supply: Researchers noted during the announcement of the discovery in July that the deposits could supply Japan's cobalt needs for 75 years and nickel needs for 11 years, significantly reducing the nation's reliance on imports.

For Trump, it’s not a “downside” that his Cabinet picks “will not be sufficient stewards of these agencies,” Stewart said on the latest episode of his Weekly Show podcast. The point is that they are trying to “dismantle” the agencies themselves. “When we say, I don’t think that Linda McMahon will be an efficient steward of the Department of Ed
