Xin Sheng Ngoh Hiang Prawn Cracker’s 3rd-Gen Hawker Worked 20 Hours A Day To Learn How To Run Family’s Popular Stall

A former national tennis player, Matthew Liu left his job in a bank to become the third-gen owner of Xin Sheng Ngoh Hiong Prawn Cracker. “Hawkers generally don’t advise their children to enter the line. But this is heritage — if no one takes over that’s the end,” said the young lad, who now makes great ‘wu xiang’.

While getting dinner on a random weekday evening, we walked past the popular Xin Sheng Ngoh Hiong Prawn Cracker at Taman Jurong Food Centre. The tantalising wu xiang spread caught our attention, and we paused for a moment to consider our options.

Noticing our hesitation, the hawker in the stall gave us an encouraging nod. It was the subtle push we needed to try this stall. We grabbed a pair of tongs and started piling our plate. As with most ngoh hiang-and-prawn cracker stalls in Singapore (the two are typically offered together), you can choose your own items and have ’em cut into bite-sized pieces.
