Despite facing numerous challenges, they maintain a positive attitude and continue to serve delicious, simple dishes such as curry mee, wantan mee, and classic chicken rice. Yap, who is 70 years old, started the business in 2015 after working at a laundromat. Her husband runs a locksmith business at the front of the shop. Yap has a deep affection for the stray cats and dogs in her neighborhood and uses her restaurant earnings to feed and care for them. She starts feeding the cats at 6:30am and the dogs at 6pm daily. Yap's husband runs a locksmith business at the front of their premises. Despite health issues, a shop fire, and delays with halal certification, Yap remains dedicated to both her restaurant and helping the stray animals.",
