Our Story · Since 2001

One family.
Three kitchens.
Twenty-five years of feeding Singapore.

This is the story of Fong Fu: how a family started cooking in a small Jurong kitchen, and why we still cook every dish the way we cook.

Read our story ↓

Every family has a kitchen at its heart. Ours began in 2001, when Wilson Lim and Ms Tan opened a humble kitchen in Jurong with a few woks, a handful of loyal customers and one simple belief: the food you serve to others should be the food you would serve your own family.

A quarter of a century later, that belief still decides what leaves our kitchen.

Chapter I · 2001

A humble kitchen in Jurong

The early days were long. Mornings began before sunrise, the stoves were few, and every order was cooked, packed and delivered by the same small team. Wilson and Ms Tan cooked the dishes they grew up eating: comforting, home-style food that tasted like it came from a family table, because it did. From the very first week, Wilson also started a habit that has never stopped: every two days, he goes to the market himself to hand-pick the vegetables and fresh ingredients. It would be easier to order by phone, but a family cook chooses with their own hands.

A canteen at St Michael’s

From Jurong, Wilson and Ms Tan moved their kitchen to the staff canteen at 65A Jalan Tenteram, in St Michael’s Estate Flatted Factory. For years, it was home: the place where the woks were fired up every morning and where our tingkat, buffets and party sets were cooked for families and offices across Singapore.

Chapter III · Growing up

When customers became family

The families who ate our food every day started asking for more. Could we cook for a birthday? A full-month celebration? The office year-end party? One request at a time, the little kitchen learned to set up full buffets, mini buffets and party sets, and our customers’ biggest days became ours too.

A new home in Mandai

In March 2026, St Michael’s Estate went en bloc, and it was time to move again. We packed up the kitchen and settled into our new central kitchen at Foodvision@Mandai. There is more room to cook for weddings, corporate events and celebrations, but the recipes, and the family behind them, haven’t changed.
