- Are you sure we have to dress up like this?

It's what dad wants.
- Aw, you guys look amazing.
(jazz music)
- Each of these hawker stores sells
pretty much one dish,
and they've been perfecting it for generations.
You know, this is one of the only places in the world
where street food vendors actually earn Michelin stars.

and many other relatives,

I made some pretty wild decisions in my life
that a parent would, you know, probably walk away from,
but she kind of stuck by me.
- [Recorded Voice] Hi!
Daddy and I are working late at the store again.
Make yourself dinner and don't watch TV!
- These are dried and used in soups.
We throw nothing away.
Every part is edible.
