Bedok’s Borobudur Snacks Shop Owner To Sell Longtime Business For $4 Million
Borobudur Snacks Shop is well-known among Bedok residents. Since the ’80s, the charming old-school shop has been churning out Indonesian-style kuehs like bika ambon (Medan’s famed honeycomb cake), ang ku kueh and kueh lapis.
It was opened by one Richard Goh, an Indonesian-born Singaporean who passed away in 1996. After his passing, his co-owner Simon Tay, 74, helmed the operations. Simon is now planning to sell off his longtime business for the asking price of S$4 million.
Simon tells 8days.sg that the reason for selling his shop is so that he could retire. “I’m 74, I’m already old. There’s not much time left, so better do it fast,” he quips. Once he retires, he plans to “go travelling, maybe visit my daughter in Canada and stay there for a while”.
