The unhappy information was introduced on the Facebook web page of Geylang Lorong 29 Charcoal Fried Hokkien Mee at round midday right now. Their put up rapidly garnered scores of reactions in addition to shares and expressions of condolences within the feedback part.

Mr See’s sickness had already seen him hand over cooking duties to his daughter, Penny. She and her husband have been doing the heavy lifting on the stall for years now, albeit initially below the very shut supervision of Mr. See. He himself labored the wok on sure days.

We got here throughout their famed wok hei-infused Hokkein Mee most just lately at Shangri-La Hotel’s buffet at The Line restaurant. It was a poignant second once we drew this {photograph} out from our archives— it was a reminder of our proximity to one thing that had been so fastidiously and skilfully created by a real craftsman.
