Hock Lam Street Beef Kway Teow is shuttering its business for good, announced its fourth-generation owner Tina Tan on Thursday (May 2).

The last outlet at Alexandra Retail Centre will cease operations on Jul 11, said Tan in a Facebook post.

Tan, 44, wrote that since taking over from her father 15 years ago, she has grown the business from a stall located behind the old Capitol Building and old Funan Centre to six restaurant-size outlets.

The decision to close was due to manpower issues, Tan said.

“I may be labelled as stubborn because of my insistence on using only handmade and hand sliced methods to handle all my beef and side dishes, therefore, the labor intensive problems hit us the most when the government keeps revising the policy on hiring foreigners," she wrote.

“Besides beef balls, which is not done in-house, every single ingredients right down to my preserved garnishes are being seasoned and hand sliced by us. Over the past decades, I was told by countless local interviewees these chores seem too menial, low class, low level or blue collar chores should not be done by locals."

yin and yang conflict. name of biz is too masculine for a female owner. if she changes it from fuck lam par to fuck chee bye it will survive for at least another 6.9 years.

I think it's asinine that location names be used as a part of the branding for food, even when it is sold at another location.

Case in point: 'Hong Lim' at Bedok.

Regarding laksa non too shameful as the fake so called original trishaw Sungei Road laksa.

Original only one Sungei Road laksa and that one is original even earlier than Katong laksa

Shameless bitch CMi blamed similes don’t want her job.

So many other noddle Brands are booming from Ramem to Laska and Teochew fishball.

You think making ingredients for those dishes any easier?

Good riddance!
