Singapore, 7 November 2026 – XH Delicious Seafood plans to close its Chinatown outlet on 25 November, with chef Devid Retanasamy preparing to continue the business in his hometown of Ipoh. The move was announced in a 5 November social-media post. He has worked in Singapore for 24 years, while the current Temple Street outlet opened only in April.

For small food businesses, the decision illustrates how closely a venture can depend on the founder’s circumstances as well as its trading performance. Retanasamy’s stated reasons include pursuing his own business at home and making more time for family. The Singapore closure date is specified, but the Ipoh operation remains a plan whose further details are to be announced. It should not yet be treated as an operating replacement outlet.
