After our kopi and papaya at home ( 2 hours later) we drove to Tampines St 11 for our favourite kway chup and pig's trotter ($16). This stall selling the kway chup is not doing as well as say 10 years ago. Business is down but the quality of the food is still as good. The lady hawker told me the rental she is paying for the stall is $6,000 per month and this is the third increase since a few years ago.
She would relinquish her business if the rental should go up again,she told me.
However, my guess is, she makes a net profit of around $15,000 a month. She does not employ any worker except the dish washer guy. Her husband is also helping out in the business.

Wow rental so expensive!
BT, have you tried Lao San in AMK Ave 1, Blk 232? It is fairly good as well. So if the Tampines St 11 shutdown, you have a closer alternative.
BL..I have not but will one day try it. The hawkers at st 11 are quite old and may give up operating their stall. Thanks for sharing :)
