The restaurant said in its farewell post,
https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZZ7han1MW/"It has been an honour to ‘break bread” with you, and to be part of the Katong community. We have enjoyed being your village baker.
Thank you for your support over the last years. Our woodfire may be extinguished for now, but the fire will continue to radiate strongly in our hearts. Thank you for being part of our journey."
While Firebake did not specify why it was closing down, fans have commented on its sudden departure.
