It was in 1968

A time where jobs were hard to come by


To make a living, founder Mr Lim Lee Seng started a business selling fishball noodles from a pushcart. Ready to work hard and long for a better life, he soon mastered the skill of making fishballs that continue to win him new customers, even today!

From the very beginning, Mr Lim always believed in delivering good, honest food using the freshest ingredients. In the early days, he would travel all the way to the fishery port in Jurong to buy freshly caught yellowtail fish. Then, he would spend six hours painstakingly scrapping meat off the bones, filleting, mincing, kneading and moulding each fishball – all by hand.

A Living Legend in Toa Payoh


When hawker centres and wet markets were built in the early 70s, Mr Lim and his wife set up their first stall at Bendemeer Road Hawker Centre where they started to make a name for themselves. In 1987 when the hawker centre was demolished, they moved to Toa Payoh, where they are still cooking their trademark Teochew noodles today!

In 2009 together with their son Eddie, they launched an outlet at ION Orchard's Food Opera. Applying important lessons learnt, the Lims' achieved hard–earned success. Ten more outlets in air–conditioned food courts and standalone shops soon followed, and they have never looked back since.
