Hakka YTF hawker closes down 2 outlets across Singapore, new business in the pipelines

With a third outlet opened in Hawkers’ Street in the newly-refurbished Tampines 1, Pang’s Hakka Yong Tau Foo sure surprised us with the announcement of their Bukit Merah stall closure and the impending shutdown of their Yishun outlet in August 2024.

Run by Chef Pang, founder of French patisserie and bistro Antoinette, the stall is known for serving up Hakka fare. It has faced multiple closures and relocations since its 2020 debut in Xin Tekka Food Hall, creating a rollercoaster ride for both the chef and his loyal customers.

Chef Pang took to social media to announce the immediate closure of their Jalan Bukit Merah stall on 31 Jul 2024. He then dropped another bombshell, revealing that the Yishun outlet would follow suit, closing down on 31 Aug 2024.

“Our Yishun stall will also be closed and [the] last day of business will be on the 31st August 2024,” Chef Pang shared.

However, before you start mourning, Chef Pang has some good news to soften the blow. Apart from the recent opening in Hawker’s Street at Tampines 1, he announced plans for 2 new outlets.

One outlet opened in Bukit Panjang on 3 Aug 2024, while the other has been undisclosed yet, however, it was mentioned to be in the city area – set to delight CBD dwellers.

For the fellow northies, now’s the time to savour your favourite Hakka delicacies before the Yishun outlet shutters. Meanwhile, easties like myself will continue relishing Chef Pang’s culinary creations at the new Tampines 1 location.
