  "account": "The China Street Hum Jin Pang stall at Maxwell Food Centre has closed its doors, leaving customers who enjoy fried snacks with one fewer option. Established in 1975, the stall was recently announced to be closing down by Deitrich Mohan, the third-generation successor of a nearby Fuzhou Oyster Cake stall, through an Instagram post on August 24. The stall, known for its DIY style of letting customers fry fried dough fritters themselves, allowed them to be purchased individually for S$0.20 or in a pack of five for S$1. Mohan expressed disappointment, noting that the unique flavor and experience of the stall would no longer exist. Customers have expressed their disappointment in response to the news, with some lamenting the loss of a childhood snack and others recalling fond memories of eating the fritters since they were young.",
