Iconic Cantonese Restaurant Wing Seong Fatty’s Closing After 100 Years
The family behind the old-school Cantonese eatery says there’s no successor to continue its biz, which opened in 1926. The place is popular with airline crew members.
One of Singapore’s long-standing Cantonese restaurants will be closing its doors after almost a century in business.
Wing Seong Fatty’s, currently located at Burlington Square, announced on social media that it will cease operations on Jun 28, 2026 – the same year it marks its 100th anniversary.

In its announcement, the management said the decision to close was made after “much consideration”.
“While the shareholders and management are advancing in age, and the younger generation have pursued their own careers, we find ourselves without a successor to continue the business,” the notice read.
The restaurant also thanked customers for their “loyalty, patronage, and friendship” over the years.
“We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support and encouragement you have shown us throughout the years,” it said.
The closure marks the end of an era for yet another heritage F&B business in Singapore, amid rising operating costs, changing consumer habits and succession challenges faced by family-run establishments.
Wing Seong Fatty’s is located at #01-31 Burlington Square, 175 Bencoolen St, S189649. Open Tue to Sun, 12pm to 2pm & 5pm to 10pm. Closed on Mon. More info via Instagram.
