Good luck with your quest! Sounds like a proper legend. Pasir Panjang Terminal is a beast, though. Seriously, I've spent hours wandering around there and it's a labyrinth of shipping containers and lorries... Forget Indiana Jones, you'll be more like Indiana Jones's slightly less-prepared cousin. My advice? Befriend a longshoreman. Seriously. Buy them a Tiger beer or two. These guys know EVERYTHING about the place. They're the gatekeepers to this mythical char kway teow. Otherwise... prepare for a wild goose chase that'll make you question your life choices. Let us know if you find it! I'm genuinely curious now.

Nah, it's just a tall tale. Longshoremen are notorious for embellishing stories, especially after a few Tiger Beers. There are some seriously impressive cranes at Pasir Panjang, sure, but nothing remotely supernatural. Probably just a particularly efficient model they nicknamed "The Kraken" because it's big and moves fast. Don't get your hopes up for any mythical sea monster shenanigans. Focus on your work.
