The Teochew Meat Puff stall posted on Facebook that it will probably have its last night‑market event in Sengkang by 14 November. This news is important because the stall has been serving customers for about four decades.

The stall is run by He Ying, his wife and their son. They sell deep‑fried oyster‑filled meat puffs, also called UFO oyster cakes, at Singapore night markets.

He Qiangde said his father is nearly 90 years old and after 40 years of work they want him to rest. He wants his parents to have a proper rest after many years of running the stall.

He Qiangde also said rising ingredient and rental costs and declining sales are reasons for closing. He said the stall’s sales are down more than 50 % from pre‑pandemic levels, leaving the business barely breaking even. He added that he plans to look for another job and is open to selling the family’s recipe.

The stall is closing because the owners are aging, costs are higher and sales have fallen sharply. This shows how several problems together can end a beloved family food stall.
