At Penang noodle store Da Shan Jiao at International Business Park in Jurong, Fridays used to be the only days that soon kueh was available for sale in the mornings. It was a way for stall owners Angeline Teoh, 52, and Alvin Koh, 57, to offer their customers something different from their staple Penang prawn mee and signature pork noodles to mark the end of the work week. Little did the married couple imagine that Angeline’s soon kueh would become their redeeming business when Covid-19 hit.
