Last week, 8days.sg first reported on prawn mee hawker Anson Loo, a former nurse who’s giving up his food stall to return to nursing right when healthcare workers worldwide are fighting the Covid-19 virus outbreak. For the past three years, he has been manning his Prawn Village stall, which had steadily gained a fan base of regulars who love the 41-year-old’s Penang-style prawn noodles.
After our first story went viral, Anson was suddenly “flooded” with questions from anxious customers wanting an update on his stall. In response to the queries, Prawn Village’s Facebook page posted an announcement regarding the closure news last night (Feb 17).
It stated: “Thank you everyone for your feedback and patience after the News [sic] about Anson going back to Nursing. His initial intention is to close Prawn Village by end March.
But we heard you and Anson is meeting with groups of people to discuss if there are ways to continue it. Otherwise, he would wish to go back Nursing [sic] as soon as possible.
However, nothing is concrete at this moment. Once again, we seek for your patience and wait for our updates [sic].
Prawn Village will continue till further notice.”
