Those who grew up in Toa Payoh — or beyond — are likely to be familiar with Teochew Handmade Pau.
It is well known for its delicious yet affordable pau (steamed buns) and dim sum.
However, the 32-year-old hawker stall will be shuttering at the end of this month.
This was announced via a post on its Facebook page on Tuesday (Dec 17) which read: “After 32 years of serving the community, it is with deep gratitude and great reluctance that we announce the closure of our pau business.”
Teochew Handmade Pau will steam their final batch of buns on Dec 31, after which they will be closed “until further notice”.
According to the post, the closure is the result of the continued rise in operating costs and raw materials as well as persistent labour challenges, which placed increased pressure on the business’ operations.
