I went there yesterday to eat their beef noodle only to realise that they have closed down. Anyone knows where have they shifted to? The beef noodle is the only food that I was craving for when I was down with H1N1 a few years back... Was hoping to get a big bowl last night.... sian... Anyone knows where are their latest location? Thanks!

I only knew about the foodcourt at Parkway Parade undergoing renovation and will be replaced by Food Republic when I wanted to have dinner there with my wife yesterday evening. I missed my favourite stall that sells Mee Rebus, Mee Siam, Curry Chicken, Laksa and Chin Chow run by Chinese. I don't think that stall is going to be there when the new foodcourt opens under a new management in Nov 12. Anybody knows where this particular stall is now located? Thank you.

Looks like with the previous president (local chinese) replaced by Angmo, 华文 is really on the way out from NTU. http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/request-to-remove-chinese-signs-at-foodcourt-a-misunderstanding Pity because I thought cultural diversity and tolerance is Singapore's strengths.

Halal foodcourt operator Banquet has thrown in the kitchen towel, just as shop rents escalate and firms struggle with the manpower crunch. The home-grown chain, which opened in 2000, had 46 outlets in its heyday. By last year, only 14 remained. This number dwindled to just five outlets by June this year. And now there are none, going by MyPaper checks. Rival operator Kopitiam has taken over the outlets at VivoCity, HarbourFront Centre and Jurong Point. NTUC Foodfare will replace Banquet's outlet in Clifford Centre in Raffles Place next month, according to a notice in the mall, and the outlet in IMM Building is now managed by Teck Kee, which also runs House of Steamboat in Bugis. All the new eateries are halal foodcourts. Calls to Banquet's owner, Mr Alan Lee, went unanswered, but a spokesman for Kopitiam said that it was approached by the landlords of the malls to be the new tenant. According to two stallholders who did not want to be named, Banquet still owes them some money. Ms Sarah Lim, a retail lecturer from Singapore Polytechnic, said that the chain was likely a victim of high rents and manpower costs, which "may have pushed them into the red". Pointing out that it may have expanded too fast, she added: "There are also so many new players with modern foodcourts and interesting themes."

AsiaOne Thursday, Aug 09, 2012 SINGAPORE - What used to be one of Singapore's

http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg..._foodcourt.html This large rat was spotted at a chicken rice stall in the Koufu foodcourt at Toa Payoh HDB Hub last Thursday (May 5). Admin executive Fion Song saw the rat last Thursday evening, and snapped photos of it. She was buying pastries from a stall nearby and the three staff members of the pastry shop also noticed the huge rat, along with a fellow customer. After the rodent was spotted, the food court management and the stall operator immediately activated their pest-control operator. The rat was caught, and the remaining food on display was discarded and the showcase was disinfected. The National Environment Agency (NEA) checked the premises the following day (May 6). They "found signs of rat infestation in the stall and several hygiene lapses -- food waste on the floor, a dirty food chiller and an uncovered refuse bin". The spokesperson from the NEA also told My Paper: "NEA will be taking enforcement action against the stall operator for the rodent infestation and hygiene irregularities. The Housing Board has also been alerted to check for rodent infestation elsewhere in (HDB Hub). "We will monitor the situation in HDB Hub closely and, if need be, require all stakeholders to step up control measures." According to a Koufu spokesperson, Koufu carries out pest-control checks on all its food outlets every month, as well as general checks three times a day. The chicken-rice stall operator has been given a stern warning and their tenancy could be revoked should another such incident happen.

Saw from the news on Ch8 yesterday that the above mentioned foodcourt was closed for 3 days already due to some disputes with the foodcourt cleaning services blah blah blah...those stall owners have those worried faces...it will remain closed for another few days until the dispute is resolved...Xmas leh...
