Hello sausage lovers and all,
Something to add to rojak ?
An European operating a hawker stall in the heart of Chinatown.
Elrick Sollbook from Austria eating durian, the Asian king of fruits.
Helen Grace is a Chinese-looking charming Filipina selling roast
sausages somewhere in the Kreta Ayer area.
Which of these statements are (a) true, (b) false, (c) possible ?
A l l t h e a b o v e s t a t e m e n t s a r e t r u e.
Helen Grace is married to Elrick Sollbook from Austria. They are
about 40 years old and have a near teenage son named J J. They
have been living in Singapore for about eight years. They appear
more local than some Singapore residents.
They are exceptional people. Their lifestyle appears unrestrained,
uninhibited, free and well chosen. They do not look rich but they
enjoy life, live well and travel. Their occupation --- hawkers.
They operate a stall named Wuerstelstand at the end of Smith
Street, nearer to South Bridge Road. They sell a variety of delicious
European sausages, roasted on the spot, as well as hot dogs, in
the evenings. During business, Elrick dresses himself in his trademark
white outfit of a chef. And from a distance he looks like a puppeteer
in his stall, standing higher than the customers he serves. The stall
is colourful with lots of pin-ups.
They live like Singaporeans, speak a smattering of local dialects
and can share jokes with the local people. They blend easily with
Singaporeans, simply, friendly and no airs. They are a small bit of
Cosmopolitan Singapore.
An evening stroll down the old Chinatown area today is very pleasant.
One has to see for oneself !
Have a nice day.
Ronald
