Mandopop star Jay Chou made a surprise visit to the Balestier outlet of Founder Bak Kut Teh on Saturday afternoon (Aug 25).

Chou was also seen posing for pictures with the eatery's founder, Mr Chua Chwee Whatt, who was celebrating his 73rd birthday.

Vivi said: "Jay Chou was with his bodyguards.

"Only the boss got to to take pictures with him. His bodyguards stopped any strangers as I think they didn't want his lunch to be disturbed."

A caption said: "Very honoured to have Jay Chou come celebrate our boss' birthday."
