3 Months After “Quitting” For Good, Reimondo Congee Hawker Back With New Stall
The serial hawkerpreneur who told 8days.sg he was leaving the F&B biz permanently to “focus on repaying my debts” is back selling congee, wonton mee & more.
When Reimondo Congee founder Raymond Tan, 35, closed his congee and wonton mee stalls back in May and June this year, the disheartened hawker told 8days.sg that he was leaving the F&B industry for good and returning to his former job as a car mechanic. His reasons for the decision back then were inconsistent business and the stressful long hours as a hawker. But in a twist of events, Raymond is making a comeback with a new stall next week.
Set to open on 18 September at Foodgle, a food court on ITE College West’s Choa Chu Kang campus that’s open to the public, Raymond’s new stall is a combination of his three previous F&B concepts – namely Reimondo Congee, Sure Come Back Wanton Mee and Western-Asian fusion joint Super Supper. Spanning over 1,000 sqft, the spacious stall, which used to be a Burger King outlet, does not have an official name (“the stalls here do not have signboards,” he explains). Instead, familiar logos from his previous ventures are prominently displayed on the menu boards.
