Going back into the past, we trace how ethnic lines were blurred by roving hawkers and continued to integrate in the hawker centre. But over the years, against the winds of change, eating hawker food in hot and humid centres fell out of fashion. As the first generation stallholders pass on, who is going to carry their torch? We profile some of the brave and intrepid hawkerpreneurs, the new breed, who despite the odds think that they can make it and keep the hawker culture alive in Singapore. =================== #CNA #CNADocumentaries #Singapore #HawkerCentres  For more on our long-form documentaries, head to CNA Insider: https://www.youtube.com/cnainsider  For more on the latest news, subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub  Subscribe to our Telegram news service: https://t.me/cnalatest  Follow us: CNA: https://cna.asia CNA Lifestyle: http://www.cnalifestyle.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/channelnewsasia'
