‘We’re Not Working For A Bungalow’: Hawker Couple On Why They Still Sell 30-Cent Drinks In 2023
It is an incredible feat these days when one can buy three drinks with a $1 coin and still get 10 cents change back. And even more incredible, the hawkers are nice and smiley.

These days, you can hardly buy an iced drink at a kopitiam for under $2. But a hawker couple in Kovan is selling beverages like soybean milk, grass jelly and bird’s nest at just $0.30 a cup.
Husband-and-wife Goh Kai Suah, 59, and Chua Choon Huay, 57, have been running their stall Sun Kee Drinks at Kovan 209 Market & Food Centre since 1984. The couple is so loving, they even sport matching hot pink highlights in their hair. Aww.
