What is so encouraging about the new generation of young hawkers here is the effort many of them put into their food.
One Prawn Noodle, opened by a group of young hawkers in Golden Mile Food Centre a year ago, is an example.
They are led by Ms Gwyneth Ang, who has more than 10 years of experience working in top restaurants such as Burnt Ends, Tong Le Private Dining and Forlino.

You may not be able to travel to Bangkok to dig into the Thai capital's famous street food, but you can whip up the popular fried noodle dish of Pad Kee Mao (Drunkard's Noodle) at home.
There are several theories about the dish's origins. A popular version circulating online – and my personal favourite – is that a drunkard, famished after a session of boozing , made the dish from the ingredients he found in his fridge.
Among the variations of Pad Kee Mao, the original one appears to be that of stir-fried meat without noodles. Another variation sold by street vendors, Mama Pad Kee Mao, features instant noodles.
