Jay Chou’s Favourite Restaurant in S’pore Facing Closure After 85% Drop in Revenue Due to COVID-19

Jay Chou might be based in Taiwan but he has a lot of connections with food places here in Singapore.

More than most of us staying here, in fact.

Unfortunately, as Covid-19 has proven, even the star power of celebrities are not able to withstand the coronavirus.

And Jay Chou’s favourite Bak Kut Teh restaurant in Singapore is now facing trouble.

Founder Bak Kut Teh

This is Founder Bak Kut Teh.

When Covid-19 wasn’t around, their outlets are bustling with business, providing food so good even megastar Jay Chou visits them every time he’s in Singapore:

As well as stars like JJ Lin and S.H.E (for the non-boomers, S.H.E is the Blackpink of the early 2000s):

Unfortunately, Covid-19 is around and Founder Bak Kut Teh isn’t doing so well.

Jay Chou’s Favourite Restaurant in S’pore Facing Closure After 85% Drop in Revenue Due to COVID-19

On 15 July 2020, owner of Founder Bak Kut Teh, Nigel Chua, took to the business’s various social media accounts to air their difficulties.

Over the past five months, he said that Founder Bak Kut Teh has experienced an 85% drop in revenue.

If the situation doesn’t get better “in the next 2 months”, Founder Bak Kut Teh might be shutting down.

Highlighting that they have been operating for 42 years, he said that there’s a possibility that they “might not make it for the many more 42 years to come”.

A Final Attempt To Save The Brand

In a last attempt to save their brand, Founder Bak Kut Teh will be giving “over 30%-off curated sets” for customers dining-in from 17 Jul to 17 Aug 2020.

It’s also a way for the brand to thank customers for their support throughout these years, he added.

He ended off his post with a sincere plea for help from members of the public, not through donations or charity, but to come in and let them serve you with their food and have a great time.
