Viral Mandarin-Speaking Indian Hawker Opens New Zi Char Stall With 2 For $50 Crab Promo

Malaysia-born hawker Devid Retanasamy, 39, usually surprises his customers when he speaks in fluent Mandarin and Cantonese. The longtime cook became a polyglot as he was adopted as a child by a Chinese family in Ipoh. He moved to Singapore to work as a cook at various zi char joints, but left his most recent job as head cook at Boon Keng zi char stall Golden Charcoal Seafood to set up his own coffeeshop zi char business with two silent partners. The stall opened on April 7 last week. And its name? The Blacky Seafood, which Devid good-naturedly coined after his nickname.
