History
Our very first restaurant was opened in 1940s which was then known as Tou Yuen. It was located in Great World Amusement Park, which Great World City now currently stands.
In 1960, our restaurant was relocated to 18 Chin Chew Street (now part of China Square Central), which was behind Far East Square. For the next 35 years, our restaurant provided excellent food to its customers at this location.
During 1995, due to compulsory acquisition of land by URA at Chin Chew Street we move to our current location which is at 96 Amoy Street.
In November 1998, we opened our second restaurant in Alexander Road.
In December 1999, we added a Japanese restaurant to our food chain.
In January 2000, we opened our first overseas restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, West Malaysia.
Why Ka-Soh?
Long ago in the mid 1940's, before Ka-Soh was the restaurant it is today. It was simply a road-side stall owned by a Mr. Tang Swee Kee, a young man from GuangZhou, China.
The stall, specializing in fish-head noodles, was extremely popular and profitable, and soon led to a high demand for Mr. Tang's famous Noodles.
Eventually, he found it difficult to manage the stall alone, and thus engaged the help of two ladies, an elderly woman, and her daughter-in-law. The elderly woman always referred to the younger as 'ka-soh' (Cantonese for 'daughter-in-law').
As the stall gained in popularity, regular customers came to know and befriend the two waitresses. So it came to be that the customers started to call the stall using the nick-name of 'Ka-Soh', for ease of reference, as well as to acknowledge the hardworking ladies who waitressed there.
Now the name of Ka-Soh has become synonymous with Mr. Tang's famous Fish-head Noodles. All around Singapore, people recognize the name to provide the quality you can only expect from Ka-Soh Restaurants.
