As it turns out, the stall is run by Chng Fang Khiang, 63, and his two sisters \u2014 the second-generation owners of Golden Mile Special Yong Tau Foo.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The decision was made to shutter the yong tau foo business after Fang Khiang’s eldest sister chose to retire, he told Shin Min Daily News.\u00a0<\/p>\n When asked if he considered hiring staff, Fang Khiang said it’s difficult for others to get used to the demanding nature of the job.<\/p>\n “It’s best that we run the business ourselves,” he said.<\/p>\n With the stall’s closure, he discussed the next move with his two other sisters, and they decided to start selling Chinese desserts in the same unit on Aug 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n Items on the menu include black glutinous rice and mung bean soup, among others.\u00a0<\/p>\nTeochew-style yong tau foo<\/h2>\n
