Mr Chan Yeow Seng, who sold the business to new owners in 2022, was known to be kind and generous.
SINGAPORE – Second-generation former owner of the famed Heng Ji Chicken Rice hawker stall, Mr Chan Yeow Seng, died on Aug 7. He was 81.
Hawker Melvin Chew posted about Mr Chan’s death on the Hawkers United – Dabao 2020 Facebook page on Aug 8. Mr Tan recalled: “Their chicken rice was memorable. The rice was fragrant, oily and flavoursome, while the chicken was perfectly poached.” The stall was started by Mr Chan’s father, who used to operate it in Smith Street. Mr Chan, who took over the stall, moved it to Chinatown Complex in 1983, said Mr Lee Hon Sang, 74, who worked as Mr Chan’s stall assistant for decades and is now employed by the stall’s current owners.
The stall is co-owned and run by Ms Jersey Ng, 32, and Ms Ng Li Peng, 28, who are not related to Mr Chan and Madam Lim.
