Viral 543 Laksa Hawker Closes Stall After Business Abruptly Fell By 50%​

“I ended up cooking and not selling — it’s very frustrating when people are not coming [to my stall],” says Thian Le Yong, who closed his stall to hedge against losses.

In April this year, hawker Thian Le Yong went viral. His stall 543 Laksa, a curiously gritty joint in Bukit Panjang, is where he cooks a very limited batch of about 75 bowls of laksa a day, which usually sells out in under three hours.

After being featured by media outlets like 8days.sg, long queues started forming at Le Yong’s stall, which is located in a quiet coffeeshop within Senja-Cashew Community Club. “I teared a bit — I was happy and touched,” the 29-year-old tells us of his overnight business boom, which also saw Minister of Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan dropping by for laksa.

But when the June holidays rolled around and borders started opening for travellers, Le Yong saw his number of customers plunge steeply by as much as 50 per cent. According to him, it also didn’t help that more people had stopped working from home after Covid-19 restrictions eased, which affected the footfall for heartland eateries like Le Yong’s (who only operated his stall in the morning). "And some people were only intrigued by my laksa at the start," he observes.

Closed his stall to avoid losses​

Despite being in business for just four months, Le Yong forfeited his deposit to shut down his stall early. He had started preparing less food when demand slowed down, but still struggled with wastage. “I ended up cooking and not selling — it's very frustrating when people are not coming [to my stall],” he shares.

If the Stall Rental is $200 per month, it will be very easy for local "So-Hai" to just closed the business during this down period, take a holiday too.

Reopen when everything resume back to normal. But since rent is sky-high, you cant really pull down the shutter

Indeed. And remember to boycott Tong Fong Fatt chicken rice and any hawker stalls which proudly display photos featuring those piggies.

Food sellers... it depends on a variety of factors.

The rich ones usually sell coffee and beverages. Even better if there's little or no competition at the place... you essentially have a monopoly.

The article never mention that he is bankrupted.

Chances are his food is bad or average and media-driven hype can only sustain your food business for a little while.

He has made a very big mistake by associating with Vivian, worst posting a picture with him, many people don't quite like him, he has offended many heart land people without knowing it. So, who would patronise his laksa even though not boycott it openly, close down is a matter of time.

He thought his laksa is a limited edition with association with the minister
