The business was founded in 1976 and its legacy had continued with the founder's grandson, Jonathan Tan, and his three business partners.

All four previously worked in the hospitality sector, with most being former chefs and front-of-house staff.

The food served at Kin Men Seng Heng is simple and fuss-free.

Customers can get their order of braised duck with a number of carb options such as rice, kway teow, yellow mee or mixed noodles.

Sides include braised egg, braised beancurd and braised tofu puff.

The stall officially obtained its halal certification on June 30.

When asked why the business opted to apply for halal certification, a personal anecdote was provided.

"A very good friend of mine is Muslim," Jonathan had shared.

"I remember when I was 16, I told his mother that my first ever stall will be halal-certified so that she can eat the food that I cook."
