Beloved Tan's Tu Tu Coconut Cake owner passes away at 63, stall temporarily closed
Singapore's hawker scene has lost a quiet but enduring icon. Ms Tan Bee Hua (陳美烨), the second-generation owner of Tan's Tu Tu Coconut Cake at Havelock Road Cooked Food Centre, has passed away peacefully at the age of 63. The news was shared on the stall's official Instagram and Facebook pages on 29 Jul 2025, prompting an outpouring of heartfelt tributes from customers. 'She always love(d) her job and took pride in perfecting her Tu Tu kuehs to contribute to Singapore's rich food heritage,' the post reads. This beloved stall traces its roots back to the 1930s, when Ms Tan's late father began selling the traditional Chinese snack, then a plain song kueh, before popularising the now-familiar coconut- and peanut-filled versions. Years later, Ms Tan gave up her 25-year corporate career to take over the business from her late brother — a decision made with both pride and a heavy heart. Since 2004, she remained committed to the family's tradition, hand-making each piece with care at her stalls in the (now defunct) Clementi stall and, later, Havelock. Tan's Tu Tu Coconut Cake is known for its soft, fluffy rice flour shells and aromatic fillings of Coconut, Peanut, and Original. Each piece is priced at S$0.90, or S$4 for a set of 5. To many, this wasn't just a snack — it was a taste of nostalgia that was made all the more special by Ms Tan's dedication and warm presence. In light of her passing, the stall will be closed for the foreseeable future as the family makes arrangements. No reopening date has been announced. Tributes have since flooded in across platforms, with many sharing stories of childhood visits, heartfelt exchanges, and how Ms Tan's tu tu kueh was one of the best in Singapore. Ms Tan's passing marks the end of an era — but her legacy, and the joy she brought through every handmade piece of tu tu kueh, will live on in the hearts of many. Our deepest condolences to Ms Tan's loved ones during this difficult time. May you rest in peace, Ms Tan.

TuTu's Green World Celebrates 15 Years of Cultivating a Greener Generation
06/16/2025, South Orange, New Jersey // PRODIGY: Feature Story // From children's books to corporate boardrooms, founder TuTu's Green World's Tulani Thomas is proud to announce 15 years of inspiring sustainable habits through storytelling and education. What started as a personal mission to fill her children's bookshelves with stories that featured diverse characters and environmental values has blossomed into a full-fledged sustainability movement. This year, TuTu's Green World proudly celebrates its 15th anniversary, marking a milestone for a brand that has redefined eco-education for the next generation. Tulani Thomas, a former CPA, corporate attorney, and mother of two, founded TuTu's Green World out of necessity. 'I couldn't find books that resonated for my kids, or taught the values we lived at home, eco-consciousness, mindfulness, healthy living,' said Thomas. 'So, I decided to write them myself.' That decision sparked the creation of the beloved children's book TuTu Goes Green, introducing young readers to TuTu, an inquisitive little girl who models everyday green habits with the mantra: small acts, big impacts. Over the past 15 years, that single book has grown into a multi-platform eco-education company, offering children's literature, animated videos, classroom curricula, community programs, and corporate sustainability workshops. With Thomas at the helm, TuTu's Green World has reached schools, libraries, and homes across the country, and even found its way into the offices of Fortune 100 tech companies, where employees and their children have engaged with Thomas's ' Small Acts, Big Impacts ' campaign. The success of TuTu Goes Green quickly led to a second book, Soil Magic, published in 2024. In it, TuTu and her green crew tackle a town-wide waste crisis by introducing composting to the community, blending lessons in civics, teamwork, and environmental science. These books aren't just stories; they're educational tools used in schools aligned with state-mandated sustainability education standards. Thomas further explained, 'I connect the dots between sustainability, economics, and wellness, helping people see how living green isn't just good for the planet, but for their families and their budgets.' Her programs have been especially impactful during Bring Your Child to Work Day, where TuTu's stories and eco-activities serve as bridges between corporate values and the home. In municipalities across New Jersey and New York, local offices of sustainability have brought her in to lead youth programming and community events. As TuTu's Green World looks to the next 15 years, the mission remains clear: inspire a generation to care for the planet, starting with their own small acts. Plans are underway for new book releases, an animated series, and an expanded digital curriculum that blends environmental science with storytelling for classrooms nationwide. Thomas further explained, 'We're building a mindset: one where being green is something that is natural.' From one mother's bookshelf to a national platform, TuTu's Green World is proof that big movements can grow from small, meaningful steps.
