Meet Your Host
Tan Ming Han, the son of Tan Nor Chai, continues the family’s second-generation business specialising in ear biscuits and crispy cuttlefish. Tan Nor Chai learned the trade from his father during the 1970s in Lorong Tai Seng.
After managing separate branches for ear biscuits and crispy cuttlefish production, they established a hawker stall in Chinatown Complex in 2012 to consolidate their operations. Tan Ming Han actively supports his parents in the business and is dedicated to modernising it by using social media and implementing an online ordering system.
