Over the decades, Wing Seong Fatty’s became a familiar name among diners seeking traditional Cantonese cuisine in the Bugis and Albert Street area. The eatery was also especially popular with airline crew and aviation veterans, earning a loyal following among pilots and cabin crew from Qantas and other international airlines.
A Facebook post by Australia’s HARS Aviation Museum described the restaurant as “more than a restaurant but a genuine piece of history for veterans and aircrew alike”, adding that “Qantas people in particular will be devastated”.
The post also referred to staff members “Skinny” and Kelvin as being “amongst the most loved people of airline aircrew who visit Singapore”.
