Plot[edit]
Nala (Dawn Yeoh), a former hawker's daughter turned high-class housewife in Hong Kong, returns to her roots in Singapore after family turmoil. Upon her return, she discovers her mother's ailing health and a young man named Dong (Ryan Lian) managing their family stall.
Misunderstandings arise when Dong considers selling their secret recipe, and tensions heighten when an Multinational corporation (MNC) linked to Nala's in-laws threatens the hawker (trade) community's traditions. As the MNC plans a competition to acquire recipes, chaos erupts among the hawkers.
Amidst this turmoil, Nala stands against the MNC's manipulative tactics to preserve Singapore's hawker culture, setting the stage for a battle between tradition and corporate greed, determining whether she can safeguard the legacy as the King (or Queen) of Hawkers.[3]
