The iconic Wing Seong Fatty's restaurant in nearby Singapore will be closing down after nearly a century since its inception in the 1920s. The restaurant, famous for its Cantonese dishes, has been operational for nearly a century and has been a hot spot for locals and tourists alike. The closing is primarily attributed to the management's aging and the younger generations' pursuit of their careers.

The eatery, which is now located in Burlington Square, announced the closure via a social media post on April 11. According to the notice, Wing Seong Fatty's is shuttering as it does not have a successor to continue the business. The shareholders and management are advancing in age, and the younger generation have pursued their own careers. The restaurant made the difficult decision to operate until June 28 after much consideration.
Thanking customers for their 'loyalty, patronage, and friendship over the past century', Wing Seong Fatty's wrote, 'It has truly been our privilege to serve you'. News of the closure was met with mixed reactions from longtime customers as well as regulars. One netizen from Egypt commented on Wing Seong Fatty's Facebook post, saying that he was deeply saddened by the closure as he used to patronise the restaurant in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
'Every time I travelled to Singapore for business, I made it a point to dine with you — it was truly one of the highlights of my trips', he wrote. Another regular customer commented, 'This is very sad news. I've been a loyal Fatty's customer since 1989. Always great food and a cold Tiger beer.
I can't imagine visiting Singapore without Fatty's. What can you do, life is like that'. Rich history, longstanding popularit
