From all of us here at Fat Bird, we would like to say a big THANK YOU once again for your support, fellowship, and love over the past 3 plus years. It has been a grueling, happy, challenging, satisfying, stressful, proud, panicky, meaningful, desperate, confident, exhausting, energizing, and most of all memorable time.
The restaurant business is one the hardest, most demanding industry there is, even more so now with the labour crisis, escalating costs and setbacks from the pandemic that a lot of us are still trying to recover from.
We were not spared from the onslaught, like many others, and it is no longer possible for us to continue in a meaningful and sustainable way for our health, financial stability, and growth. Simply put, as a public figure succinctly said recently - we know what it takes to do the job, and we simply do not have enough left in the tank to do it justice.
We hope that in this short period of time, we have been able to introduce and expand the world of ramen to you in our own style, and created some good memories along the way.
We hope that you continue to support the local restaurants that you like. Eat there more often, and tell them what they mean to you. There’s a lot of hard graft and a ton of work that goes into your meal experience - hearing how it touched your lives makes all the difference to those who put their heart and soul into making your food. We will all end up better for it.
Lastly, and we’ve had a few questions on this - we will be doing a sale of our equipment and furniture soon after taking a CNY break, so if you or anyone you know is interested in picking up some stuff, watch this space. We will be posting up items for sale as we do inventory, and will also have a garage sale day to clear out stock.
Wishing all our customers celebrating the lunar new year a Gong Xi Fa Cai, and a happy holiday break to all!
