Madam Mo, who declined to give her full name, told The Straits Times the stall’s closure is only temporary, as the coffee shop is changing hands and undergoing renovations. “It is not true that our stall is closing permanently,’ she said in Mandarin, declining to comment further.

The stall, which has been operating since 1988, has no official name on its signboard, but refers to itself on Facebook as Beo Crescent No Name Hainanese Curry Rice.
