99 Old Trees Durian hit back at food reviewer who says “no need skill” to prepare chendol An Outram dessert stall offered a creative rebuttal after a food reviewer seemingly downplayed the efforts behind preparing chendol. “No need skill, just assemble only,” said the reviewer, “You [can] put any unskilled worker there — maybe you put my daughter there also can.” Through a skit, the business not only challenged the TikToker’s claims but also encouraged him to “respect” small businesses that work hard to preserve Singapore’s hawker culture. Food reviewer claims chendol ‘no need skill’ Earlier this month, TikToker Lucas Neo — known for his opinionated review of Michelin hawkers — posted a review of Nyonya Chendol at Chong Pang. The stall has four outlets, and was the first chendol stall in Singapore to be featured in the Michelin Guide.

In a subsequent video on Thursday (23 Oct), Neo said it was “his (my) fault” for making the earlier remarks. “Chendol needs skill,” he corrected himself.
