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.

Ice Cream Recalled Nationwide As Warning Issued Over Products
Tropicale Foods, based in Ontario, California, announced on Friday a voluntary recall of select Helados Mexico and La Michoacana ice cream products. The decision followed a label audit which revealed that although the products list "cream," they do not explicitly declare "milk"—that could endanger those allergic to milk. Newsweek contacted the company for comment on Sunday via email outside of usual working hours. Milk is a major allergen under federal labeling laws, and its accidental presence in products poses a risk to consumers with allergies or severe sensitivities. Undeclared ingredients can trigger life-threatening reactions, making accurate labeling a critical public health requirement. The company announcement, published on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s website on Saturday, states: "Tropicale Foods of Ontario, CA is recalling certain Helados Mexico and La Michoacana products with specific best by dates, as detailed below because these products contain undeclared milk. "Though these products include 'cream' in the product ingredient lists, the common name 'milk' is not declared. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products." Affected items include single-flavor offerings (such as Coconut, Strawberry, Bubble Gum, Cookies and Cream, Mango), as well as multi-packs (6‑pack, 12‑pack, 16‑pack varieties). The recalled products are as follows: Photos of the affected products are available on the FDA website. The recall covers a wide range of "best by" dates from May 2026 through July 2027. Distribution spanned retail locations nationwide across the U.S. As of the FDA announcement, one consumer illness has been reported. Consumers with affected items who are allergic or sensitive to milk are advised not to consume the products and to properly dispose of them. Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) states on its website: "When a person with a milk allergy is exposed to milk, proteins in the milk bind to specific antibodies made by the person's immune system. This triggers the person's immune defenses, leading to reaction symptoms that can be mild or very severe." Consumers who have the affected product should dispose of and not consume this product if allergic or sensitive to milk, and consult medical advice if symptoms arise. Anyone with queries may contact the company at 909-563-3090 between 8 am and 5 pm Pacific, Monday to Friday. The FDA will continue oversight and monitor any additional consumer reports or updates.

5 spinach smoothies that won't ruin your taste buds
Spinach may be a nutritional powerhouse, but it is not exactly pleasing to our taste buds. Packed with iron, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins A, C, and K, spinach supports everything from glowing skin to better digestion and stronger immunity. Yet its natural, earthy flavor often feels more like a chore than a choice. But what if you didn't have to taste it to benefit from it? Here are 5 spinach smoothie recipes that mask the leafy green's bitterness without compromising on health. Pineapple-Mango Spinach Smoothie If you're not into the 'green' taste, this is a good place to start. Pineapple and mango do most of the talking, while the spinach just blends in quietly. Add some orange juice or coconut water and throw in a few ice cubes. You'll get something bright, a little sweet, and way more pleasant than it has any right to be. Strawberry-Banana Green Smoothie This one is as basic as it gets, and that's not a bad thing. You already know strawberries and bananas work well together. The spinach doesn't fight for attention here—it just adds some nutrients in the background. If you want it thicker, Greek yogurt helps. Otherwise, almond milk works fine. No weird aftertaste, no surprises. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo Peanut Butter Chocolate Spinach Shake It sounds like a stretch, but somehow it works. Think cocoa powder, peanut butter, frozen banana, and milk blended with a handful of spinach. The flavor leans chocolatey and rich, not leafy. You could drink this after a workout, or when you're just craving something sweet that doesn't leave you feeling gross. Apple-Cinnamon Spinach Detox Blend This one's pretty clean and simple. A tart green apple, a dash of cinnamon, maybe a slice of ginger. It doesn't come out sweet like the others, but it's not harsh either. The cinnamon helps mellow out the spinach, and the apple gives it a fresh edge. Not fancy, but solid. Coconut Matcha Spinach Smoothie If you want to switch it up, try this. Coconut milk gives it a soft, smooth base. The matcha adds a bit of energy and earthiness. Spinach fits in without messing with the taste too much. It's the kind of thing that feels healthy without trying too hard. Good for when you're bored of fruit-heavy blends.

Tone, the Personal Care Brand Founded by Six Twitch Streamers, Is Entering Target
Is the era of Twitch streamer-founded beauty brands upon us? If the breakout success of Tone, a unisex personal care brand launched in February by Atlanta-based content group AMP, or Any Means Possible, to the tune of near-instant seven-figure sales is any indication, yes. More from WWD Berlin Retailer Solebox Brings Zellerfeld's 3D-Printed Shoe Experience In-Store Onitsuka Tiger Opens Champs-Élysées Flagship as It Sets Its Sights on a Century More Than 30 Convicted for Roles in Organized Retail Theft Ring The line, which debuted direct-to-consumer with body lotions, deodorants and lip balms coming in four scent families and each priced under $15, is now entering retail with a nationwide Target foray. As part of the rollout, Tone will add two products — body wash and a body mist, called Cologne — to its assortment. 'Part of the Tone concept was a focus on accessibility, so being in brick-and-mortar where we can tell the story behind the brand and the product in a higher-touch way is important,' said the brand's chief executive officer Nathaniel Weiss, previously president of clean body care brand Nécessaire. Tone launched in partnership with Night, the media company and talent agency which works with many of AMP's members, who are Kai Cenat, Duke Dennis, Fannum, Agent 00, ImDaviss and ChrisNxtDoor. Best known for their gaming broadcasts and challenges, the cohort are among Twitch's most prominent content groups and collectively counts tens of millions of followers across members' respective channels. (Cenat has the largest audience with 18.1 million followers on the platform, and anywhere from 1.5 million to 11.3 million views of his most recent, hours-long broadcasts.) 'The depth of connection between the viewer and the creator on Twitch is not like that of any other platform,' Weiss said. 'Being streaming-native is, in some ways, just more intimate — there's this constant, live reaction from the audience in the chat which creates a two-way dialogue; there are also people who subscribe and pay a certain amount each month to watch ad-free — it's very different from other channels.' AMP has leveraged these strengths in promoting Tone. The brand was unveiled via a Twitch broadcast, which led to more than 100,000 users being on the Tone website at any given point during the stream, and the Target partnership will similarly be revealed via an antics-filled broadcast. 'We're doing an overnight livestream inside a Target store where the guys will kind of have the run of the place while the store is closed and be able to tell people what's going on with Tone,' said Weiss, adding that 'there will be, as the brand continues to scale, a role for other social platforms, but we want to be where the core audience conversation is — and for most of the guys, that's Twitch.' The brand's four scent families are Coconut, Fresh, Citrus and Woodland, with the former two being the heroes thus far. Tone's deodorants are aluminum-free and key ingredients in the new body wash include glycerin and citric acid. 'We believe that what gets people excited about this category is how things smell, but also a focus on efficacy — marrying those two and doing it at an accessible price point, we felt, would be a powerful combination,' Weiss said. As for the core consumer: 'It's very clearly Gen Alpha through Gen Z, ethnically diverse; perhaps one of the things that has been surprising to us is that our consumer has been 35 percent to 40 percent female,' said Weiss, adding that AMP members have some minority female followings, likely contributing to this dynamic, and Tone aims to broaden its reach among consumers of all genders. The brand will double down on its fragrance-forward approach for upcoming innovations, catering to young consumers' growing interest in scent. 'We're thinking about what other form factors we could put fragrance in that are not your traditional deodorants and body washes, but also aren't eau de toilette and eau de parfum — you'll see some fun stuff from us on that in the next 12 to 18 months — as well as selectively adding to the scent portfolio,' Weiss said.
