28-Year-Old Hawker Opens Fish Soup Stall While Running Family’s Zi Char Biz At Same Time

The young millennial shuttles between both stalls almost daily and has no days off. Why does he do it?
28-Year-Old Hawker Opens Fish Soup Stall While Running Family’s Zi Char Biz At Same Time

Unlike most younger millennials, Alfred Chia, 28, hardly has any free time to spend on dating, going out with friends or just chilling. He spends seven days a week shuttling between his family’s zi char joint, Ah Nam BBQ Seafood, and his newly opened hawker stall, New Generation Fish Soup. The cheerful second-generation hawker started helping out at his parents’ stall when he was 13 years old, first doing jobs like waitering and cashiering, before learning to cook eight years ago. Last December, he decided to open his own stall selling a completely different dish at Moonstone F&B, a small coffeeshop in an industrial area at Playfair Road in MacPherson.
