I Left Fine Dining To Sell $2 Meals At My Former School Canteen
At just 25 years old, Wan Hasnirauuf Hassan returned to his alma mater, Boon Lay Secondary School, to open a Western food stall.
Trained by 3-star Michelin chefs, he brings fine-dining standards into the humble school canteen, serving restaurant-quality meals that students can afford.
But with rising operation costs and manpower shortages, can canteen vendors like Wan really survive in this dying industry?

Good job abang your family must be very proud of you
Wa outside ppl like us can take order ?
Ate this mans food when he just opened his stalled. I was so happy because finally there was really good food for an affordable price. He has passion and shows it in the quality of his food. Hope he is able to live his dreams by owning his own restatraunt !
Give the man a medalllll 😢😢
this is at the 11 Jurong West Street 65 Singapore
2.90 in this economy is crazy. i remember western food in sec school canteen 14 years was about 2 to 2.50. What a godsent, wish you all the best bro !
I will make sure I don't support.
let me know if you ever open a stall elsewhere, because i will strongly support you, brother Wan!!!
thanks for taking care of the kids. God bless your soul. semoga badan sihat selalu, hajat kerap di dapatkan
Salute to you bro..serving awesome food to the kids with love and kindness
One of the coolest way to give back to the school that groomed you 🥲🫡
The wife is speaking Indonesian, not Malay. Many of the words she used are significantly different from the ones used in Singapore.
6:15 So wholesome! Gotta love chefs with soul and compassion 🥹
My advice to you bro get a hawker stall. You are young if your food is good, and slowly you will get your own shop.
Gosh his dishes look so good! Look at the amount of ingredients in the baked rice! Well done, Wan, you’re a Michelin chef to us all. 👏👏👏
You are my new hero brader….I pray Allah will murahkan rezki and save your business from the central kitchen invasion!!!! Giving food for someone to eat is the best pahala becos evrytime they kenyang it’s a reward dunia and akhirat..
Where can we order sum of these delicious food
what i dont understand is, with all the brains in the ministry and school management, why are vendors being forced to sell food at a price way below proper margins when the cost of the raw ingredients is so much higher ….. to rub it into the vendors faces, the students get their money from their parents whom themselves eat food outside during lunch hour at normal market rates…… so what makes everyone think the vendors can get special magical prices from their suppliers to be able to sell their food at ridiculously low prices?
wheres the brains and logic in that?
Kinda want to go back to my old school canteen just to try eating the food that I haven't taste for the last 30-40 years.
Our government should learn from him.
Helicopter: How can I eat his profit?
