We used to buy "kueh" from these men.  The delicacies were carried above their heads

The Roti man and his bicycle.  No Coffee Houses like now.  Bread and cakes came on bicycles.

Fresh milk from cows, goats etc.

Crackers, bread, sweets and even some simple games all in a bicycle.  'Ting, ting, ting" the familiar chime.

Kueh and Laksa from this person.  This whole "machine" carried on the shoulders.
