What change in attitude does Lim describe?
In Singapore, hawker centres, where cooks sell cheap meals from small stalls, have been recognised as part of the nation's cultural heritage. Many stallholders are elderly, and few young people want the long hours. To address this, a new training scheme pairs apprentices with master cooks. One apprentice, Daniel Lim, left a banking career to learn the recipe for a family noodle dish. He says the first year was exhausting. Nevertheless, he is optimistic: 'People used to see this as a job for those with no choice. Now many see it as a craft.' The government hopes this shift in attitude will keep the tradition alive.
