Sorry to hear that, but I ate there once and really the satay beehoon is nothing to crow about. The Perpectual Q is created by the slow motion of the 2 brothers. Take some beehoon, put some back, take 4 piece of pork put 1 back, take 3 prawn and put 1 back. stupid waste of time by them. pui pui pui.

this type of hawkers got OCD Obsessive-compulsive disorder.....see their repetitive, ritualized behaviors i beh tahan one......might be a strategy also as some bros mentioned......daft sinkies with herd mentality will go where there is a queue.

Can they not try to seLL their receipes' for $1 miL, Like what that sio bak staLL attempted some months ago ?..

If you have at least $200,000 to spare, you can consider buying the recipe for the famous Meng Kee Satay Bee Hoon stall at East Coast Park.

After 30 years of business there, the owners are calling it quits due to ill health.

Mr Ng Hiok Meng, 60, was paralysed from a fall, while older brother Mr Ng Siaw Meng, 63, has stomach cancer.

Older brother Mr Ng explained that their children have their own interests and do not wish to inherit the business, hence he wishes to sell it to someone who is sincere in suceeding it.

Shin Min Daily News reported that more than 10, including a local food group, have expressed interest in the secret recipe that has made the stall popular for so many years.

"I wasn't sure how much the recipe would be worth, but at a minimum sum of $200,000, it will be able to help me and my brother with medical fees", said Mr Ng Siaw Meng.

He told Shin Min Daily News that he once rejected a food group because they wanted him to be a 'live signboard'.

"One of their conditions was to have me appear in front of customers at various stores to let them know that this is my satay bee hoon."

He also rejected potential buyers who did not want to reveal what they intend to do with the recipe.

Mr Ng stressed that money is not as important as expanding the satay bee hoon business and bringing it overseas so that other people around the world can get a taste of local food.

"The recipe is not important - it can only tell you the type of ingredients to use and in what quantity.

"What's important is the secret behind making an effort to cook good food and promoting it," said Mr Ng.

Meng Kee Satay Bee Hoon stall won the Makansutra Hawker Legend in 2005.

This 'hawker legend' was even promoted by the Singapore Tourism Board at tourist information centres and international airports around the world.

I love satay beehoon and this guys at the East Coast Park are good in the variety of ingredients they include in the satay beehoon. U can see from the picture they have hum in their satay beehoon, and not all stalls have the hum. "Satay" beehoon is actually a misnomer. Its called satay beehoon because of the "satay" sauce in the dish. But actually, this sauce does not taste like the satay sauce that u use with eating sticks of satay meat. in fact, if u use the satay sauce that u eat with the meat skewers, its too thick and too strong. Most satay beehoon stalls make their own version of the sauce, and in fact, their sauce tastes nothing like the satay sauce. Mostly, its a thinner variety of sauce. A good satay beehoon sauce should be like a gravy that you can drink after u eat all the noodles. The chilli is essential too. I also like satay beehoon because its the one dish that PRC fake hawkers have not ruin by trying to cook it.

I used to visit the stall very often since I was a kid..sad to learn that the 2 brothers is dying and paralyse.

I agree. Their satay bee hoon is among the best food in Singapore.

Hope both brothers will be well.
