Finally, I caught up with Ah Lye the fried Hokkien Mee hawker. Lye used to operate his stall in Street 82, Tampines and "retired" 10 years ago due to leg issues. I frequented his stall in the early 2000s and had since lost contact with him until recently when I visited block 59, New Upper Changi Road.
His Fried Hokkien mee is still as good and delicious as many years ago except that it is drier and the sambal ikan billis is not as tasty as compared to the past.
The price has gone up to $4 for a small plate. It was $2.50 back in the early 2000s. Well the $1.50 increase is reasonable.
Lye still has a big following. I think he could easily make $300 to $500 a day at his new stall.
