The incredibly popular hawker stall, Cheong Fun Paradise, will be closing permanently on 9 May 2022. The last day of operations will be on 8 May 2022.
The Cheong Fun Paradise hawker stall was opened in Ang Mo Kio by ex-Shang Palace Head Chef Ms Kerene Cheng in 2021, after she left her job as the head chef of the Shangri-La Hotel restaurant.
The stall sells affordable dishes like their famous Chee Cheong Fun in variations like Char Siew (S$3.50), Prawn (S$4) and Sesame Sauce (S$2.40).
Though business started slow, Cheong Fun Paradise soon gained a massive surge in popularity, with customers queueing up to three hours for a taste of Chef Kerene’s dim sum dishes.
Despite the success and popularity of Cheong Fun Paradise, which has only been in business for a year, Chef Kerene has decided to close the stall. Her sister, Ms Pelaris Cheng, announced the cessation of the stall’s operations in a Facebook post, citing manpower issues as the reason behind the closure.
In the meantime, Ms Pelaris states that Chef Kerene will be taking a break, and hopes that netizens will support her if she decides to reopen her business again in the future.
If you hope to get a final taste of Chef Kerene’s popular dishes, do visit Cheong Fun Paradise in Chop Hong Lik Restaurant in Ang Mo Kio from 8am to 4pm until 8 May 2022. It is recommended to head down early, as the dishes often sell out quickly.
