Despite the frightening situation, he didn’t lose consciousness, even though his shirt was covered in blood. Thankfully, a vendor was quick to call an ambulance, and the uncle was taken to a hospital for treatment.
He is believed to have previously undergone heart surgery and had felt unwell while frying rice noodles. At the hospital, doctors determined that he had suffered a stomach haemorrhage.
Having become a highlight of food culture in Penang, the uncle’s Barefoot Char Kuey Teow stall has risen to fame in recent years, earning him a mural on Penang’s well-known Cecil Street, where he will be forever immortalised.
We wish the popular vendor a speedy recovery.
