who likes to patronise illegal hawkers here?
-
and do you think the authority should do more to counter illegal hawker problems?
-
Sometime their food is better than the legal ones
-
the authorities shd not do anything bcos they sell good stuff!!!
-
i like some but dislike some. Dun mind them removing the ones i dislike.

When I see an unlicensed Satay Man selling satay on a bicycle, I will purposely buy over $20 worth of satay from him.
If I'm hungry, I'll eat about 10-15 sticks and give remainder to my neighbor.
If I've already eaten I'll give the entire packet to my neighbor.
I just wanna give the man a good sale - especially unlicensed.
Lemme tell ya.. people who resort to illegal hawking are largely at wits end in feeding their own family, and are likely holding a day job as well...
The farking system here is driving people to the brink of every extreme! -
It depends. If its cooked food - eg: curry puff, otak, chestnuts i won;t buy. But if its fruits -eg: pears that i can check for defects i will buy. Or if its clothes, non-perishable why not.
Actually those elderly ppl selling tissue paper at hawker centres also deemed as illegal workers...but out of pity & to help them, i will buy.
Priated games and DVDs, although rare, I'll also browse haha. -
x2. I used to buy satay from those bicycle ones. But nowadays very rare. Now they chnage to otah because very easy to cook.Originally posted by ShutterBug:When I see an unlicensed Satay Man selling satay on a bicycle, I will purposely buy over $20 worth of satay from him.

Otah by them are always killer. love it. buy it. eat it.
-
heard some of their oil is reuse until cannot use liao den change de.
and no proper basic hygiene. want eat also scared. -
Basically, we buy from them we take the risk out of compassion.Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:agree, but then how they prepare the food is another thing.
But lets logicalize; if you are doing something "illegal" (that is illegal in the eyes of our money-greedy gov) buy hawking food without license, would you dare to give your customers food poisoning??
I mean, when you approach the Satay Man for example, you will be able to see whether he really means business or not. A genuinely honest "illegal hawker" will look very clean and reasonably setup. But you will see different standards from those YOUNGER punks who are probably jobless foreigners from Batam., their bicycles or motorbike will look really dirty, and so does the Satay grill...
In this regard, we can see for ourselves. -
tts why food taste so good!Originally posted by TrixCereals:heard some of their oil is reuse until cannot use liao den change de.
