Hawker Stan Lim, 43, prepares his ingredients at Michelin Bib-Gourmand-awarded Balestier Road Hoover Rojak, at Whampoa Food Centre in Singapore August 12, 2016. The photograph (R) shows Hong Kong celebrity Chow Yun-Fat (top left) posing with Stan's father, Lim Ngah Chew, as Stan opened his doors for business. "Many of hawkers here at this food centre... told me to find something better outside and not be a hawker because its very hard work, long hours and very little rest," he said. "But I took over my father three years ago because he was getting old. I do everything exactly he does, including how I arrange my utensils." REUTERS/Edgar Su SEARCH "HAWKER FOOD" FOR THIS STORY.
