My uncle had a big fight with kopitiam owner over rental stall rent. THe rents in kopitiam are way too much, if one day don't sell enough, may not even recover enough for the rent. So he decided to quit renting at kopitiam, now he is thinking of buying a van to run his hawker food business. He is looking for van that look like the photo where he can sell his cooked food and maybe drinks as well. Any such van in Singapore? Where to buy?

His plan is to drive to industrial estates, construction sites or any place where there is no closeby hawker centre. Think he watch too much TV, got influenced by those lunch vans in USA selling sandwiches and coffee..

In Singapore, there're only some designated approved places (usually carparks) that you can sell foods with these meals-on-wheels vans. You need to apply (to URA or HDB I think) and pay licensing fee and rent too. There're time limits, usually hours from breakfast to lunch hours.

You can't do any serious cooking in these vans, you can't cook your food at home and load them onto the vans, unless you have a designated approved public food preparation facility. So most probably, you have to order food from authorised cooked food suppliers for resale.

Getting one of these vans is the easy part; just check with any major motor dealer. Making a profitable business out of it is the hard part.

the scheme was implemented some years ago and was not successful so it was scrapped

Scrapped in Singapore already? I'm not surprised.

It's going strong in Malaysian residential neighbourhoods at night for supper, especially in neighbourhoods where coffeeshops are far off or close early. They usually sell "lok-lok", something in between yong tau foo and satay for Chinese hawkers, and burgers for Malay hawkers.

To operate this van you need to apply licence from a gangster worst than any kopitiam boss in Singapore.
Even kopitiam boss have to kowtow to him.
