Shaun’s Food‑For‑Fun Post
On Sunday, 7 October, resident Shaun Ho took to Facebook to brag that a “random guy” was whipping up murtabak right outside his home. He lives on the 10th floor of a block whose name he kept private, but the gist was clear:
- “There is a random guy cooking Murtabak in front of my house.”
- Shaun added with a wink, “But why am I even surprised—this is Yishun.”

Internet Goes Wild
Shaun’s single post exploded like a slow‑motion fireworks show, racking up more than 1,800 shares. Fans flooded the comments with jokes, memes, and “Where can I grab that recipe?” conundrums.
And then another Facebook page decided to double the fun. By the time they reposted the photo, the post was spreading like a viral meme:
- Over 5,500 shares
- Nearly 700 comments—mostly “I’d trade my sleep for that!
It turned a simple kitchen adventure into a citywide chuckle session, proving that Yishun’s culinary eccentricities are truly one of the highlight reels of Singapore’s local life.
