The "godfather" of Singapore food in Shanghai

In Shanghai's notoriously cutthroat food and beverage scene, being able to sustain a business for just five years can be considered quite a feat.

Frankie's Place, a Singapore restaurant located on Huang Hua Road in Hongqiao area, has been in business for five times as long. Naturally, the restaurant owner, Frankie Ong, is considered quite a legendary figure among Singaporeans working in the Chinese megacity.

"There's no secret to being in business for so long. I think it's down to two things－authentic food and me," he laughed.
