Hong Daming and Liu Meimei's foster son.Small Ang Mo Kio, Mrs 118, Aunt Fa (发嫂/明嫂) Hong Jinzhi, Wang Shunfeng and Wang Yuye's foster father.Through the dramatic play of events, we are able to see ourselves in the many characters, who are in fact a mirror of the good and bad sides of all of us.Ĭast Hong (Daming) Family Cast "118" presents the positive side of a Singaporean – passionate, practical, caring, resilient, faithful, tolerant and forward-looking – while also touching on the lesser side of our personalities. He would rather make room for them by having his own sons sleep in the living room, than to chase them away heartlessly.Īs such, the story unfolds with this myriad of personalities living under the same roof and hanging around the 118 coffee-shop, where many dramatic yet comedic events took place… Kind-hearted by nature, Daming felt that they must have come to him because they were at their wit's end. Daming's own younger sister, Hong Shanshan ( Sheila Sim), and her daughter also came to live with him "temporarily" when her husband disappeared mysteriously. Later, Meimei's elder sister – Liu Jiejie (Liu Lingling) and her family also came to live with 118 when her husband, Zhang Tiancheng's ( Chen Tianwen) business failed. Weiliang was not the only addition to the cramped flat. Weiliang studied fashion design in France, but circumstances led him to simply run a stall in 118's coffee-shop, selling dumplings with the recipe that his mother left for him.

Having 6 people living in a 3-room flat is cramped-up enough, yet he also rents out a room to "Ah Niang", a middle-aged man whose original name is Li Weiliang ( Chen Hanwei). The children are named Hong Shunfeng ( Dennis Chew), Hong Shunshui ( Xu Bin), Hong Jinzhi ( Ya Hui) and Hong Yuye ( Somaline Ang). His family lives in a 3-room flat, which was built in pre-war years, above the coffee shop. Whenever someone is in need, they would always seek Daming for help. Together with his wife, Liu Meimei ( Pan Lingling), he makes a living by running the coffee-shop, and are well known in Tiong Bahru. As his coffee shop and house number are both "118", the people around him gave him the nickname of "118" (or 要要发), much to his delight. Hong Daming ( Chew Chor Meng) is a positive and generous man.
