Lucky Lucky Catering & Restaurant, a family-run business along Mosque Street, has shuttered after 34 years of operations. The restaurant was known for serving traditional Hokkien food out of its humble store.
The restaurant made the announcement by posting in the Hawkers United – Dabao 2020 Facebook group on 8 Apr 2024. In the post, they revealed that the restaurant had ceased operations at Mosque Street on 22 Mar 2024.
The owners explained that the “rising rental rates and expenses” had made it difficult for the business to continue operating at its current location. Despite that, they added that they hoped to find a new space for them to resume the business and to hopefully serve their loyal customers once more.
They also encouraged their customers to keep an eye on their website and Facebook page for future updates and news if they do manage to reopen in a different location.
