While having a sumptuous meal with Sammin Ang, his wife Esther and Jimmy Yap, we met these 3 veteran Singapore Chinese actors, all MediaCorp "Ah Ge" legends from the 80s/90s. So, we got together and took a picture. In case you aren't sure who they are, here's some details:
Left: Zhu Houren 朱厚任
Known for roles in classic Channel 8 dramas like _The Awakening_, _The Last Appeal_. He’s famous for playing stern father/authority figures.
Middle: Richard Low 刘谦益
Veteran actor/director. You’d recognize him from _The Little Nyonya_, _C.L.I.F._, and _118_. Also a regular variety show host back in the day.
Right: Chen Shucheng 陈澍城
Comedian and actor. Famous for _Comedy Night_ and sitcoms like _Don’t Worry Be Happy_. He usually wears glasses and is known for his comedic timing.
The 3 of them were part of the same generation of Channel 8 actors and still hang out a lot. Fans call them the “3 uncles” of SG Chinese drama 😄.

ReplyDeleteAndy, you're looking great. Where was this? Bt. Timah?
ReplyDeleteNo! JB. Jalan Besar at Berseh food court. The cher-char there is fantastically well-cooked and delicious. Done by an old auntie but she takes a while to prepare them. Well worth the wait.
