Orphaned As A Teen With No O-Level Cert, Hawker Now Towkay Of 2 Kueh Stalls & Catering Biz
The odds might’ve been against Aloysius Ng, who lost his parents at 13. Now, the hawkerpreneur says this “achievement” is for his folks “who’re in heaven”.
There’s something about colourful Nonya kueh that makes us happy just looking at them. Former web and graphic designer, Aloysius Ng, 41, is so enamoured with them, he gave up his job to sell Nonya and Teochew kueh at a stall called Yummy Times in Toa Payoh in January 2021 – at the height of the pandemic.
“I love kueh, so I came up with creative kueh designs in platters for parties,” says the smiley young boss, who also offers a small menu of savoury Nonya dishes. In July 2023, he opened a second stall at Upper Paya Lebar, which sells kueh and fried snacks like you tiao.
