Maybe it was because he thought it wasn’t hot enough.
A man waited nearly an hour for his char kway teow at a Chinatown food centre and when he finally got his food, a fire broke out, forcing him to evacuate with everyone else.
Stomper S shared videos of the very long queue for the Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee stall at Hong Lim Market and Food Centre as well as the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) fighting the fire on Jan 2.
“I was caught in the middle at Block 531A Upper Cross Street near Chinatown Point while having lunch,” recounted the Stomper.
It was his first time trying the char kway teow from the stall.
He said: “The fire was coming from a stall in the row in front of the kuay teow stall.
The whole hawker centre might be closed and the stall might also be closed for a while as “the entire place was engulfed with thick smoke.
