Hawkers without online delivery in the East


The on-and-off bans on dining-in, in midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, have hit the F&B industry hard. While many of us have taken to getting our meals and provisions delivered, many hawkers have fallen by the wayside, with elderly, illiterate hawkers taking the worst hits to their businesses. If you’re an Eastie, here are 10 hawkers without online delivery in the East for you to support when you next head out for your dapao.


1. Delisnacks

Breakfast doesn’t get any more comforting than youtiao and coffee, or youtiao in soya milk. If you’re in the Tampines area, get your dough fritter fix at Delisnacks, purveyor of youtiao, butterfly buns, sesame balls, nian gao, curry puffs, and more! What’s more, their offerings are halal, and vegetarian-friendly.

Lynn’s Place is a more-than-30-year-old stall on Chai Chee Road does old school Western food with what’s said to be generous portions, and wallet-friendly prices starting from $5.50 for Chicken Strips Rice, and $7 for Chicken Chop, which comes with your choice of rice, or fries. The best thing about choosing rice as your carb is that you’ll get a ladle of curry zhup on your rice! The fare here has no pork, and no lard.

The uncle who runs Lynn’s Place now takes orders via phone, so call him at 9693 6811 if you’d like to place an order! He runs the deliveries himself, so do note that he can only make the delivery run if your order is above $15. Delivery fees start at $2 if you live around Bedok.

Opening hours: Sun-Fri 7am to 9pm
