Four hundred stalls, and I still queue at the one with no sign

I’m Syafiqah. I started posting my hawker-centre lunches in 2019 on a phone with a cracked screen and a very good appetite. Since then I have eaten at more than four hundred stalls, filmed in kitchens that were hotter than the street and collected opinions from aunties on every corner.

The Kopi Dispatch began in 2024 as a Thursday message to the friends who kept asking me where to eat. It is still free, still written on Wednesday night, and still a long list with one place I would book for a birthday.
