The founder of Chinatown Complex hawker stall Zhen Jie Gourmet has died of a heart attack at the age of 77. Zhang Lizhen (transliteration) was found unresponsive at home on Monday (Aug 26) Shin Min Daily News reported. When interviewed, her daughter, Liu Yanfen (transliteration), told Shin Min that her mum had been living with two female Vietnamese tenants at the time. One of them had found Zhang lying on the floor after noticing that a phone call on her mobile had gone unanswered despite ringing for some time. «She had collapsed on the floor and was unresponsive. It was too late by the time paramedics arrived,» said Liu. Zhang is the founder of Zhen Jie Gourmet, known for selling packets of traditional 'lo hei' or yusheng during Chinese New Year. At other times of the year, the stall offers a variety of cooked food such as vinegar pig trotters, wine chicken and pig's organ soup. Zhang had started the stall in the 1980s, before handing the reins over to her daughter in the late '90s. Liu told Shin Min that her mum was independent and did not want to move in with her. Read more
