Famed Tiong Bahru Yi Sheng Fried Hokkien Mee With 1-Hour Queue Closes Permanently

Stall is now closed

But to the dismay of Mr Soo’s fans, his stall is now closed permanently as he has decided to retire. In Facebook hobby group Hokkien Mee Hunting, netizen Huey Li Tan posted a photo of the shuttered stall, accompanied by the caption: “My favourite stall… Closed for good. Happy retirement Mr Soo. Many thanks for the yummy Hokkien mee… Sure gonna miss it!!”

Customers have followed him from Kim Tian Market to ABC Brickworks

Regulars of Tiong Bahru Yi Sheng reminisced on the Facebook post about following the stall from its previous location at Kim Tian Market to its current spot at Bukit Merah. At Kim Tian, the stall also offered satay with pineapple sauce.

In a humourous twist, fellow Hokkien mee stall Chef Goo at Alexandra Village Food Centre also commented on the post: “My business hopefully can improve now with his retirement…” The stall, which serves both fried prawn noodles and pao fan, is opened by former limousine driver Johnson Goo, who became a hawker during the pandemic after jobs ferrying tourists around Singapore dried up for him.
