History

The eatery was founded in 1948 by Haji Isrin from Pariaman at the corner of North Bridge Road and Kandahar Street. [3] [4] After Haji retired, the business went to his wife, Hajah Rosnah. [5] [1] In 1988, the business went to their sons Sudirman, Jumrin and Abdul, and their wives. [6] [3] However, Sudirman, who had been heading the team, later left. [3]

In 2021, the National Heritage Board designated the eatery as a "mini-museum". This was done in an effort to raise awareness to smaller business with a long history and were often overlooked. [7]

Reception

Anette Tan of the Condé Nast Traveler included the restaurant in her list of the 28 Best Restaurants in Singapore in 2019. [8] In 2016, it was awarded the Heritage Heroes Award for preserving local culinary traditions. [9]
