“He passed away peacefully. He’s at a better place already,” Uncle Alex See’s son-in-law tells 8days.sg.

It was founded over 20 years ago by hawker Alex See , who started helping his father cook Hokkien mee at Geylang Lor 29 in the ’60s.

Although the brothers ran their own stalls, they remained cordial and simply preferred working separately. “We’re friendly lah, and of course people will compare [our food]. You just try it for yourself and see,” Uncle Alex toldSadly, Uncle Alex has passed on today . He was 72. He had been struggling with declining health, and was diagnosed with multiple myeloma — a form of blood cancer caused by malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow — a few years ago.

Despite his illness, Uncle Alex remained active at his shop. While his health permitted, he cooked during the lunchtime shift while Penny and Qin Sheng took over at night. In 2019, Penny’s older sister also opened a same-named hawker stall at East Coast Lagoon Food Village selling charcoal-fried Hokkien mee and pork belly satay.
