Homegrown otah chain Lee Wee & Brothers has been around for 19 years, so you’d be forgiven for thinking that its towkays are paunchy uncles with towels around their necks, sweating from being around otah grills all day. On the contrary, the trio of brothers that make up Lee Wee & Brothers are pretty youthful, and one of them even looks like he could be the frontman of an indie rock band.
The Peranakan family-run business is helmed by oldest brother Lee Wee (whom the biz is named after), 53, second brother Ben Lee, 51, and youngest brother Mark Lee (aka the one who looks like a cute musician), 49. “We named our business after Lee Wee as he’s our eldest brother,” says Mark to 8days.sg.
