Kumiko and Khoo have been together since they were 16 and nearly three decades on, their desire to spread their shared Hakka heritage through home-style dishes – just like Popo (grandma) used to make – has blossomed into something special.
From a humble home-based business to three thriving stalls in Bukit Merah View, Anchorvale Village and One Punggol, their journey has been a true labour of love. But they’re not done yet.
“We hope that we can expand,” Kumiko confided. “Just one more stall!”
With loyal customers who have supported them since the stroller delivery days and a Singapore Enterprising Hawker Award under their belt, their future looks as abundant as their food.
Hakka Leipopo is located at One Punggol Hawker Centre, #02-26, 1 Punggol Drive, Singapore 828629. It’s open 10am to 4.30pm on Thursday; 10am to 7.30pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday through Sunday. It’s closed on Mondays.
Catch Makan Kakis with Denise Tan every Thursday from 11am on MediaCorp GOLD 905.
