Tan’s Tutu Coconut Cake has been operating from Havelock Food Centre. It previously closed its Clementi outlet in 2023.
In a tribute post on the Facebook group Hawkers United, Melvin Chew, the owner of Jin Ji Teochew Braised Duck And Kway Chap, said that Tan was a “legend”.
“Her passionate passion [for] making tutu kueh [was] a great contribution to our hawker culture,” wrote Chew.
“Auntie Tan had been following her family selling tutu kueh since she [was] very young. [The] passing of Auntie Tan is [a] big [loss] of our hawker culture.”
