Some Singaporeans may find it ridiculous forking out more than $5 for a plate of local hawker-style food.
However, on the other end of the spectrum, there are others who willingly sign-up for a two-year waitlist for this Peranakan private diner that is selling $18++ prawn noodle soup and $12++ ngoh hiang.
So, what's the big deal?
The aforementioned private diner named PasirPanjangBoy, is actually helmed by two make up stylists cum chefs — Tinoq Russell Goh and Dylan Chan — who run the show in a small apartment at hipster neighbourhood Tiong Bahru.
Tinoq had named the establishment after his childhood neighbourhood, Pasir Panjang, and it has been around since 2018.
