The shop has been in continuous operation since 1988, and has been serving their signature pork noodles in SS15 for over two generations.

However, their shop had been closed for a long minute, and up until a few days ago, speculation was rife amongst netizens that the owners had died of COVID-19.

Speaking to the SJ Echo, co-owner Ann shared that she had been busy dealing with a personal tragedy with regards to the current pandemic.

"My parents passed away over the last two weeks because of COVID-19," shared Ann.

Ann added that she and her brother had been taking turns to care for them before their passing, and had contracted the virus themselves.

"We had to close the shop as my husband had to take care of the children while I was busy taking care of my parents."

To assuage public concerns, Ann clarifies that her parents had stopped helping out at the shop since the Movement Control Order (MCO) was implemented earlier this year.

On top of this, her husband and immediate family are free of the virus, as are the workers of the shop.

This is a result of her separating herself from the family since caring for her parents, as to not spread COVID-19 to them.

"It hurts to read what has been written. People make wild claims that my husband died! We were busy attending to our parents and we didn't have time to clarify what was being circulated."

Ann, who is currently under quarantine, is looking forward to being reunited with her family soon.
