SCULPTURE 42 : TOK TOK MEE

04 July, 2024

ADDRESS : NO. 103 LEBUH CHINA

sculpture 42

Here we see an itinerant hawker serving up bowls of wanton,  or `tok tok’ mee (noodles), so called because hawkers announce their presence by tapping on a piece of hollow bamboo. The contents of a hawker`s trolley – extra bowls, the pile of uncooked noodles and a sieve – are faithfully detailed in this sculpture.
