[sG] - Hokkien Mee stall closes down, as amongst buyers, "one couldn’t even fry an egg", while another was "scared to pick up a prawn"!

[UltimaOnline]

Can't sell business as buyers unqualified​

Lim told 8 Days he is retiring.

This was after he could not find a prospective buyer for his recipe and business.

He said among those he interviewed who wanted to buy the business, "one couldn’t even fry an egg", while another was "scared to pick up a prawn".

Time to retire​

The couple, who have four children, added that none of their offspring wanted to take over the business as they have their own careers.

Moreover, recent price increases for raw ingredients signalled to Lim it is time to call it quits as he has resolutely refused to raise his own prices to cater to his old-timer customers.

He said: “Cooking oil went up by 100 per cent, gas by 25 per cent."

The Hokkien mee, which comes with prawns, squid, and pork belly, ranges from S$4 to S$6 per portion.

When it first started, the Hokkien mee won fans as it was cooked over a charcoal stove.

Boss Lim said he wants to remain active and might become a food stall assistant himself when he closes down this business.

Imuho even without price increase they should stop frying hokkien mee as it is verlee unhealthy to them and they should be leetired at this age.

If the current stall holder so concerned about the legacy of his hokien mee...then he stay on lah.

He choose his buyer and his buyer donch choose him.

[Cottonmouth]

Why the fuck would someone who can't fry an egg offer to buy his stall????

 

[Hypocrite-The]

How much he selling his biz for?

 

[bobby]

Why can't the buyer pay for the stall and hire a cheap Tiong to fry the noodles and he just collect money ?

You gotta be joking. He can still man his stall but shorter hours.plus higher prices.
