What has Hokkien Mee got to do with AI?

Nineteen short lessons. One hawker stall. Understand artificial intelligence in plain words, from plate to robot, for ages eight to eighty.

Free · No sign-up · About one hour · Captions on every lesson

How it works

Watch. Every lesson is a three-minute story at a hawker stall. Press play and listen.

Try. Once per lesson, Ah Liew pauses and asks you one question. The pause is the activity.

Notice. By Act Seven, you will spot AI in your phone, your bank, and the wet market.

Seven acts, from plate to robot

  • Act 1 · The Kitchen Before Dawn — what AI is, what data is, and the journey from market to plate.
  • Act 2 · The Three Things Machines Learn — sorting, counting, and grouping. Start here (pilot lesson live).
  • Act 3 · The Chef With a Thousand Eyes — how machines learn to see and hear, one small decision at a time. Coming.
  • Act 4 · The Chef Who Invents New Dishes — generative AI and chatbots: the chef that writes new recipes. Coming.
  • Act 5 · The Stall That Thinks for Itself — agents: when the chef plans the whole service without you. Coming.
  • Act 6 · When AI Gets a Body — robots, senses, and why tossing a wok is harder than chess. Coming.
  • Act 7 · The Wise Regular — when AI gets it wrong, what it means, and how to stay wise to it. Coming.

For ages eight to eighty

If you are eight — Ah Liew explains everything with pictures and prawns. Nothing to sign, nothing to type.

If you are thirty-eight — listen on the MRT. One lesson per stop, no logins, no homework.

If you are eighty — big text, full captions, and a transcript for every lesson. Take it at your own pace; nothing ever times out.
