  "account": "Singapore's decades-old Lao Liang Pork Trotter Jelly & Shark Meat stall will close on October 31, according to a local Chinese-language newspaper, citing the stall's owners. The elderly couple, Yu Zhongrong and Lin Cailuan, plan to retire and will not pass the business on to their children. They have been running the stall since 1987, after relocating it from Hill Street Food Centre to its current location in Berseh Food Centre. Lin Cailuan, 75, explained that making pork trotter jelly is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process, which has led to a decline in the number of people making it. The stall's signature dish is priced from S$5 (US$3.91) per serving, while a set of Teochew-style kway chap costs S$4. Although the couple is concerned for their regular customers, many of whom are elderly and may be disappointed about the closure, they have no choice but to shut down. The stall's history dates back to Yu's grandfather, who brought the traditional pork trotter jelly dish with him when he migrated to Singapore from China in the 1960s.",
