The stall located at Fengshan Food Centre, also famously known as Bedok 85, has served satay bee hoon for 30 years.
“We have made the difficult decision to close our doors suddenly as the current stall has been sold,” wrote the owner’s daughter, Adeline Ng.
The stall was in the Bib Gourmand selection of the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2018.
What earned it a spot on the list is the rich, nutty satay bee hoon that’s a blend of sweet, savoury and spicy.

The Bib Gourmand list recognises food establishments offering quality dishes at a maximum price of S$45. Mr Ng’s satay bee hoon starts at just S$3 per plate.
To keep prices low, he decided not to include cuttlefish in the dish.
“I don’t think my food is very good. It’s okay. People just like it because it’s cheap,” he told Michelin guide.
When asked if receiving the Bib Gourmand accolade made him happy, Mr Ng replied: “Yes, but I’m happy every day.”
Despite the stall’s closure, Ms Ng asked followers not to unfollow its Facebook page.

In the post, she hinted at the possibility of a return on the horizon.
“Please stay on to our Facebook page. We might have good news to share in the near future. Hope we will meet again,” Ms Ng wrote.
