Earlier in May, Raymond Tan made the hard decision to shutter his two beloved hawker concepts — Sure Come Back Wanton Mee and Reimondo Seafood Congee. If you're a fan of his food, you'd be glad to know that Raymond is making a comeback very soon. The 35-year-old F&B entrepreneur will be opening a new stall on Sept 18 at...
Some of his past crimes included shoplifting and housebreaking.
In a bid to stay out of jail for good, he started a car rental and repair company. Business was so good that he became a millionaire in two years but after that, he gambled all his hard-earned money away, which led a turbulent relationship with his wife. However, after hearing that she was pregnant with his second child, he decided to get his act together and opened up a hawker stall at MacPherson which specialised in crabmeat wanton mee.
Unfortunately, business was as not good and he had to shutter the stall in 2017, but in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, he decided to give the hawker life another shot and opened Reimondo Seafood Congee in Pasir Ris."This location is ideal as some [of the youths that I mentored] attended ITE College West and got very excited when I told them about opening a stall here.
"Sometimes, it’s hard to keep in touch with them after they are released. With a food stall, they [may be more inclined to] come eat and chat. I’m excited about being able to provide employment opportunities for them too."He also plans on transitioning from cooking to focusing on training these youths.After shuttering the stall at 5pm each day, he plans on supplementing his income as a roadside assistant mechanic with most of the earnings going into repayment of his six-figure debt.
