16: Why food reviewers need to stop romanticizing hawker culture | Gregory Leow, Youtuber and Hawker Editor of Hungrygowhere

Gregory Leow: “It is not as if their lives are so destitute, but it is definitely not so comfortable that they can think of lofty ideals. They just want to give a better future for their kids so that their kids don’t have to be hawkers.” Leow, a Youtuber who vlogs about hawker food and the hawker editor of Hungrygowhere, shares about how he got started writing and vlogging about hawker food, plus: *Why the older and younger generation are interested in different kinds of food* *Why it is important to bring our children to the hawker centres* *Why Gregory avoids using the word ‘cheap’ in his reviews* *Maintaining objectivity when judging hawker food* *How government intervention has influenced local food culture* *Gregory’s death row hawker meals*
