It was one of those same-old afternoons when my friend H and I were deciding what to eat. The closest option was a hawker centre where we’d spent many childhood hours sipping lemon barley while our fathers shot the breeze over glass mugs of kopi. In our teenage years, we came here after school to slurp Teochew mee pok and kacang pool. Those stalls — and many others — have since changed hands. Today, a mala xiang guo stall stands beside the second-generation tau huay chwee sellers.

The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) officially introduced a new generation of military tech six years ago today (11 Jun 2019). It was tough, high-tech, and came with air-conditioning, no cap. The Hunter Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFV) marked a major milestone – it was the SAF’s first fully digitalised combat vehicle, built locally here in Singapore.

If you agree, here’s where you can get traditional zhang that’ll sate those annual cravings.
