Wing Seong Fatty's Restaurant - Closing /Closed Down on 28 June 2026 @ Burlington Square [Singapore]

To be very frank, I don't know Wing Seong Fatty's Restaurant, which has a hundred year old history, and would be closing down on 28 June 2026 (three days later) as they couldn't find a successor to take over the eatery serving Cantonese cuisine.

I am usually not interested in trying out a restaurant that's closing down but the Greatest Kon managed to persuade me, resulting in me taking an hour's time off from work so that I can arrive earlier to beat the queue. Strangely, I managed to get a table immediately when I reached at 6.00pm on a Tuesday.

Now, don't come expecting to be treated like the customer is king. The serving staff didn't have much patience and while not rude, you do get a lot of pressure to order as quickly as possible from the wordy menus!

Yang Chow Fried Rice - this came recommended from the order taker and visually darker than the typical yang chow fried rice. Taste wise like home cooked soy sauce fried rice, and lost to the one my mom can easily whip up at home. Saving grace was the char siew with fattier bits.

Sweet and Sour Pork - said to be the signature dish, I had to admit the sauce had this old school flavour that was darn palatable. But the nuggets of fried pork were major letdowns; hard and chewy with inconsistent sizes; they were a disgrace to the sauce.

Fried Foo Yong Eggs - charred aroma and brought me back to the first time I had furong egg as a kid; like a nostalgic walk down memory lane.

Homemade Tofu - another signature dish for the restaurant although its dull, boring outlook didn't quite do it any justice. Don't be deceived by it!

While the texture wasn't the silky soft kind often touted by many eateries offering homemade tofu, there was a satisfying bite filled with a strong yet delicious burst of egginess, enhanced by the addictive braised sauce!

Yam Basket with Tofu - again a signature dish but I seriously doubt we can clean up the dish since there were just the three of us (one of whom is small tummy Alex), and yam is such a filling carbohydrate!

Traditional it sure was, with the ring featuring a generously thick middle of cooked yam that was so rich for the palate! Now, I do like yam but in the dessert yam paste form! This was simply put too heavy for my tummy!
