F&B Businesses Closure List 2025: Farewell Feasts

Singapore’s vibrant F&B scene is constantly evolving, but change often comes with farewells. In 2025, several well-known eateries and restaurants have closed their doors, affected by rising costs, shifting consumer habits, and other economic challenges. While these closures mark the end of an era for some beloved establishments, they also signal new beginnings, as the local dining landscape continues to adapt.

Restaurants

Black Cow

Singapore’s acclaimed Black Cow restaurant, known for its fine-dining Sukiyaki and Japanese Shabu Shabu, closed its doors on June 28, 2025. Opened in 2016 by Sam Chua, Black Cow quickly became a favorite for its high-quality A5 Wagyu beef and indulgent donburi bowls, especially the Signature Sukiyaki Don and Truffle Don. The restaurant prided itself on sourcing premium Japanese black cattle (Kuroge Wagyu) and seasonal ingredients.

Hawker Centers

Very Lucky Turtle Soup (大幸运山瑞汤)

After 60 years, Very Lucky Turtle Soup (大幸运山瑞汤) is closing its doors. Known for its traditional turtle soup, crocodile stew, and herbal claypot dishes, the beloved stall at Berseh Food Centre has been a culinary mainstay since 1981. Second-generation owner Bobby Chu (崔钰麟), 65, took over the business from his parents, who started it as a roadside stall in 1960.

Bobby is retiring due to health issues after a recent fall and medical advice to avoid long hours on his feet. His two sons, working in unrelated industries, will not be taking over the stall as they lack the expertise to continue the trade.

Last Day of Operation: End August 2025
Address: 166 Jalan Besar, Berseh Food Centre, #02-38/49, Singapore 208877
Reason for Closure: Owner’s declining health; no successor within the family

Dong Fang Hong Sotong Ball Seafood Soup

The iconic Dong Fang Hong Sotong Ball Seafood Soup (东方红墨鱼丸什锦汤) stall at Fong Lin Market and Food Centre will close at the end of July 2025, marking the end of a 67-year-old hawker legacy. Founded before 1958 by Mr. Yang, the stall became known for its labor-intensive, handmade sotong balls using fresh seafood. It was later handed down to his daughters—three sisters—who ran it together for decades.

The current owner, 66-year-old Yang Meili, has been operating the stall single-handedly in recent years after her elder sister (80) and younger sister (63) fell ill. Despite sustaining a leg burn in May, she continued the physically demanding work, preparing ingredients from 3 a.m. daily.

With no successors and mounting health issues, Yang has decided to retire. The stall, long cherished by regulars for its handmade touch and old-school flavors, will cease operations quietly, leaving behind a beloved piece of Singapore’s hawker heritage.

Last Day of Operation: 31st July 2025
Address: Hong Lim Market & Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross St, #01-47, Singapore 051531.
Reason of Closure: No successors and mounting health issues
