Back in the day which is 30 to 40 years ago, the workers are from the "Baby Boomer" or earlier "Silent Generation" era. Most of them are dead already, especially the boss of the original Foh San restaurant who first started at old corner shoplot area before they moved to the new location where it is located now. Fast forward today, it is mostly operated by Generation Y or perhaps younger Generation Z. People these days are not so hardworking as the older generation so most of the time the easy route is chosen.

In the early late 1970s to 1980s, I think the workers at Foh San or some other dim sum restaurants start their business very early in the morning, perhaps waking up at 4.00am or earlier, they start working in the kitchen maybe before 5.00am already. People changed, practice changed. Nowadays, the food are prepared earlier and frozen for convenience. People these days want to have a better life, to have it easier, sleep late, wake up late etc.
