Wing Seong Fatty’s at Singapore’s Burlington Square announced on social media that it will cease operations on June 28 after a century of operation.
According to the notice, the Cantonese restaurant is shuttering as it does not have a successor to continue the business, and the decision to close came after “much consideration.”
Thanking customers for their “loyalty, patronage, and friendship over the past century”, Wing Seong Fatty’s wrote: “It has truly been our privilege to serve you”.
The restaurant traced its origins to 1926, when its founder first opened the business along Albert Street.
The founder’s son later joined the restaurant and became affectionately known as “Fatty” among customers, eventually inspiring the eatery’s name, Channel News Asia reported.
In 1987, the business relocated to Albert Complex, where the third generation took over operations. It later moved to Burlington Square in October 1999.
Over the decades, Wing Seong Fatty’s became a well-known spot for traditional Cantonese cuisine in the Bugis and Albert Street area.
The establishment serves up traditional Cantonese day char fare such as sweet and sour pork, roast duck, claypot pork liver, stir fried sprouts, homemade tofu and wok-fried beef with spring onions, Asia One reported.
