Singaporean footballer Hassan Sunny closes nasi padang stall Dapur Hassan, but plans to continue business
The goalkeeper said that manpower – not rent – was behind the closure, and he has been learning his mother-in-law's recipes to take over the cooking.
Singaporean goalkeeper Hassan Sunny has closed his family's nasi padang stall Dapur Hassan after six years, but plans to continue the business in a different format. The 42-year-old believes manpower issues, not rent, forced the closure. Hassan's mother-in-law, who has been cooking the dishes, is now unable to continue and requires rest.
While Hassan is considering pop-ups, bazaars, and Grab delivery to keep the business running, he has not yet decided on a permanent location. The stall gained international attention in June 2024 when Hassan's goalkeeping skills helped Singapore secure a draw against Thailand in a 2026 World Cup qualifier, advancing China to the next round.
Despite the celebrity status, Hassan asked fans to stop sending money through the stall's QR code to avoid scam concerns.
