Yet another local business has fallen at the hands of Covid-19.









Swee Kee Eating House, located at 96 Amoy Street, will be closing its doors at the end of May.

Pioneers since 1930s​

In a Facebook post on May 21, Swee Kee shared that the effects of Covid-19 and the pandemic had been too much for their business to bear.
This was compounded by their location in the Central Business District, which currently sees much lower traffic as work-from-home was made the default mode since Phase 2 (Heightened Measures) kicked in on May 16.
Swee Kee claims to be the pioneers of Cantonese-style fish soup since the 1930s, and their Amoy Street outlet has been in operation for over 26 years.
And despite weathering World War II and the SARs pandemic, Swee Kee said Covid-19 has proven too challenging to endure.
Swee Kee added that it had been sustaining monthly losses during this period.

Closing on May 30​

Swee Kee's third generation owner, who penned the Facebook post, also shared some fond memories of the place.
The eatery was "more than a business or restaurant", but was like a home to him, having practically grown up there.
He reflected on Swee Kee's humble beginnings at a shophouse along Chin Chew Street.

"I also remember fondly the late nights at Chin Chew Street, as we used to stay on the third floor of the shop house, the restaurant was usually buzzing into the early mornings at 5am during the weekends."

Swee Kee will be serving its last bowls of fish soup noodles on May 30.
The business thanked its regulars who have stuck around for their support.
It will consolidate its resources and manpower to focus on its Ka-Soh brand, which has two outlets at Outram and Greenwood.
Ka-Soh is accepting orders for delivery and pick-ups, and you can find more information here.

Swee Kee Eating House
on Thursday
With a heavy heart, after being located along Amoy Street for over 26 years, Swee Kee Eating House, the pioneers of Cantonese style fish soup since the 1930s, will be serving our last bowl of fish soup noodles at the end of the month, Sunday, 30th May 2021.
With more than 80 years of history, we had weathered the World War, Economic Depression and SARs, however, the challenges of COVID-19 and a CBD location have proved too much and too challenging for us to sustain with continued monthly losses in this current climate.
We sincerely thank our regulars who has been with us through the decades with generations of families supporting us, without whom, we would not have been in business this long. We sincerely hope that you continue to do so.
As the 3rd generation owner, Swee Kee Eating House has always been more than a business or restaurant, it was also my home which I grew up in with since the days at Chin Chew Street. I remember the days where our extended family would always come to the restaurant for dinners on Saturdays, without fail.
I also remember fondly the late nights at Chin Chew Street, as we used to stay on the third floor of the shop house, the restaurant was usually buzzing into the early mornings at 5am during the weekends.
We are extremely honoured to be part of Singapore’s history and one of Singapore’s oldest independent/family-owned restaurants.
Our brand, history and legacy will still live on through Ka-Soh as we consolidate our resources and manpower to focus on our remaining two restaurants (Ka-Soh Outram and Greenwood).
Wishing everyone good health and stay safe in this trying period.

Geylang Serai nasi padang seller cries on live video as sales poor, food sells out in 1 hour as orders pour in
The power of live sales.

A nasi padang seller in Geylang Serai was able to sell out her food she prepared after she appeared in a live video started to help hawkers hawk their fare to the internet generation mostly stuck at home due to the Phase 2 (Heightened Alert).

The incident took place slightly after 5pm on May 18, the day the live video was shot by Singaporean entertainer Roslan Shah.

Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) started on May 16 and is to last till June 13.

Roslan, who hails from the media industry, also operates his own rojak stall at the eatery at the corner of Lorong 101 Changi and Changi Road.


Livestream of business
As part of his schtick to bring in sales, Roslan does live-selling for his own rojak business.


This works as he accepts orders from viewers on the spot who get to watch him prepare their food fresh.

But not all his time livestreaming is focused on himself.

When he is not carrying out his own live sales, Roslan would use his clout to help fellow stall owners by sharing their fare on his livestream.

Nasi padang seller hit hard by Phase 2 (Heightened Alert)
In the live video that day, which lasted 55 minutes, Roslan turned the spotlight on Ani, a makcik nasi padang hawker.

In the video, the woman appeared reserved initially and emotional, but she was eventually egged on to talk about her food.

The fare she prepared included beef rendang and sayur lodeh, a staple dish consisting of vegetables cooked in coconut milk, as well as ayam goreng, which is good old fried chicken.


Live video helped sales
Within 20 minutes, the effects of the live salesmanship paid off as orders started pouring in.

Ani appeared relieved and expressed her thanks and gratitude to the audience watching, which likely prompted even more sales.


When she spoke on camera, she talked about how sales has been poor owing to the lack of people out and about this Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) period.

A majority of her dishes were unsold even though it was dinner time, she said.

As a result of the poor sales, Ani added that she had thought about quitting.

Roslan told Ani to cheer up and the result was that the audience responded positively to the livestream.

Bulk orders come in
The audience started doing bulk orders as Ani spoke to the camera.


And the orders were not all for personal consumption as people chipped in to help Ani to help others.

One customer said he paid for 10 packets of food to donate to those who ordered rojak from Roslan.

Some others chipped in by offering their own services.

One person who was watching the video offered to deliver the food.

Roslan did another livestream six hours later to thank those who bought food from Ani.

Not many places in Singapore sell Kopi Gu You nowadays, and Heap Seng Leong is one eatery that still carries on this tradition. If you’re unsure of what Kopi Gu You is, it is coffee with condensed milk and sugar, with a slice of butter on top. The butter taste is quite mild, but adds a caramelised taste to the coffee! Order some fluffy kaya toast and half-cooked eggs to go along with your Kopi Gu You!

This one, the fish bolas really juicy and bouncy.
Made from real fish.
Unlike many stalls mixed with flour and other ingredients.
This stall from 7am onwards, super long queue.
But, really worth queuing eating real fish bolas.
