Breakfast Club: Ham Chim Peng for the Early-Riser

"The beauty of a good ham chim peng lies in the oil it is fried in. The oil has to be changed frequently or the deep-fried buns will be at risk of getting burnt on the outside and undercooked inside. You Tiao Man is a 50-year-old institution that’s been using quality produce for their fried buns. Only refined coconut oil and premium flour make the cut here. If you pay the stall a visit today, you’ll find young faces behind the till; the family business is now seeing its third generation taking over the helm. The result is the humble hawker stall embracing technology – You Tiao Man’s deep-fried buns can now be delivered to you via food delivery app. Just be sure to check if they deliver to your postal code." - Alethea Tan
