Among the hum of bustling patreons and the clatter of utensils at Golden Mile Food Centre is the melody of traditional Chinese music. If you look closely, the music is actually from a live orchestra that is made up of elderly folks!
According to footage uploaded by a netizen on the Can Eat! Hawker Food Facebook group, the dizi (Chinese flute) and pipa (Chinese guitar) can be seen being played amongst the the group of old folks. A conductor also appears to be leading the orchestra.
Though most commenters were appreciative of the free performance, opinions on the quality of the performance were divided, with a netizen calling it an “acquired taste”.
While you’re enjoying the music by the live orchestra, be sure to visit Ah Xiao Teochew Braised Duck for a plate of stellar Duck Rice (from S$5.50). The stall is run by second-generation hawkers and delivers classic braised flavours that’ll appeal to both the old and young and heart.
From its herbal sauce soaked ducks to its rustic kway chap (soy sauce broth with broad rice sheets), Ah Xiao Teochew Braised Duck is sure to complement the traditional Chinese music.
If you’re craving hearty Western food, Ashes Burnnit will hit the spot. Its affordable artisan Burgers (from S$6.50) are bound to blow you away with its juicy patties.
The next time you drop by Golden Mile Food Centre, be sure to keep an eye out for the lively bunch of old folks striking a tune with their traditional Chinese musical instruments!
