SGWing Seong Fatty’s, a 100-year-old Cantonese restaurant in Singapore, is closing its doors after failing to find a successor to carry on the business. The restaurant has deep historical ties to aviation, having served pilots from the Royal Australian Air Force and airlines like Qantas, British Airways, and Emirates. It was famously associated with WWII POWs, as founder Au Yuen and his son secretly provided food to prisoners. Retired pilot Ronald Haack, who frequented the restaurant for decades, planned a final visit but was turned away due to high demand. Despite the closure, two signature dishes—crispy spring rolls and 'nuclear chicken' (claypot curry chicken)—will remain available in Qantas lounges at Changi Airport for a limited time. The restaurant operated in three locations over its history, with its final site in Burlington Square.
