The hawker stall was awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand nod in 2019, and has consistently long queues for its hearty pork innards soup.
Kee Teo’s family announced on the stall’s Facebook page today that he had passed away aged 84.
The post read: “It is with deep sadness that we announce that Mr Koh Kee Teo, our founder, passed away at his home peacefully surrounded by his family. Mr Koh was a remarkable person; an extraordinary entrepreneur, inspiring mentor and renowned hawker. More importantly, a caring father, wonderful great grandfather, and loving husband. We will miss him and his amazing spirit.”
The family also invited the public to pay their respects at Kee Teo’s wake: “Please feel free to come and pay your last respects and we hope you can join us to see him off for one last time.” The wake is held from Oct 11 to 15 at 49 Kim Pong Road, S160049 .But it looks like the late Mr Koh’s business is in good hands, as his grandson is now running a four-month-old mod outlet also selling pig’s organ soup at Maxwell Market & Food Centre.
