Viral Korean Hawker Stall Finds A New Home And Reopens This Week

Popular Korean hawker stall Chelabela sadly announced it was closing in May. Fortunately they have since found a new location.

August 12, 2021

The pandemic has been hard on everyone but possibly no group has been hit harder than F&B. Over the course of the year, we’ve had to bid goodbye to many eateries. One of the casualties was popular hawker stall Chelabela: Korean Food by Korean Chef, which announced their closure in May. 

Fortunately, they’ve found a new home at a coffee shop in Ang Mo Kio Ave 5 and are back in business, opening again yesterday on 11 August.

According to a post on their Instagram, the move to Ang Mo Kio was because the area is more central, but still relatively close to their old location.

Run by Suh Chin-won, 52, the new stall will have a scaled-down menu with only five options — army stew ($18), anchovies (from $5) and three kimchi dishes (from $5).

According to Chelabela, the army stew is “super yummy with authentic broth and no weird additives” while their kimchi is freshly made in-house.

While the stall currently does not have any delivery options, Chela Suh, the owner’s daughter, told MS News that they are working on it and will share any updates on the stall’s Instagram page.

The family-run business went viral during Circuit Breaker last year when 23-year-old Chela revived the struggling Korean hawker stall with the help of Facebook group Hawkers United – Dabao 2020.

Within a day of her post in the group, business surged from around 70 orders to a whopping 240 orders a day.

However, the stall had to close due to manpower issues, Chela said in a Facebook post in May.

Address: Block 603 Ang Mo Kio Ave 5, Singapore 560603
