» In the past two weeks, regulars to one of Chinatown's most iconic street food stalls, Khao Gaeng Jek Pui (Jek Pui Curry), may have noticed something a little different. In the usually impenetrable line of red stools, where hungry locals sit to eat their curry-topped-rice sans table, there is a gap. The perpetually closed green wooden doors of the Eah Seng building -- in front of which Jek Pui's stall has been operating for seven decades and which is a common representation of Chinatown in street photography -- is now open.
