SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): In 1988, about three years after Dominic Chua had started working at Ho Tit Coffee Powder Factory, his father Chua Tock Hoon – the shop’s founder – died following a traffic accident that left him in a coma for 11 weeks.
The suddenness of his dad’s passing meant the business’ genesis was forgotten forever.
