Recently, the stall’s chef, Mr Teo – affectionately known as “Uncle KKM” by customers – suffered an injury and underwent an ankle operation.

As a result, the stall had to be closed temporarily.

Had to close stall temporarily to recover

News first broke of Uncle KKM’s injury on 13 Apr, when a notice was posted on the stall’s Facebook page. The post stated that they would be closed for 4 days to allow Mr Teo to recuperate.

A month later, another post was made. This time, customers were informed that the stall would be closed from 28 May, but for an indefinite period of time in order for Mr Teo to “heal his injuries”.

On Saturday (8 Jun), a photo was uploaded on the page, showing Uncle KKM’s right leg wrapped in a cast after his ankle surgery.

It remains a mystery as to how Mr Teo’s injury came about.

Long-time KKM fans wish him well

Uncle KKM’s cooking has presumably touched the hearts of many customers.

Because just hours after the picture was posted, nearly 100 netizens commented on the photo, wishing him a speedy recovery.
