  "account": "Chen Ning's Singapore café, co-owned with friend Chong Yanjing, will close after five years of operation. The shop at Ulu Pandan Community Club will bid farewell to customers on November 3. Chen, a popular DJ at Mediacorp’s YES 933 radio station, opened the café in February 2021 with a S$120,000 (US$94,500) investment. The café served a mix of Asian and brunch dishes, along with specialty coffee. Chen expressed gratitude for the support received since the café's inception, describing it as her second home. Unfortunately, the lease at the community club expired, necessitating the closure of the beloved café.",
