Hotels move in with expanded home delivery and takeaway menu and service

As Singapore moves back into partial lockdown, disabling dining out at restaurants and limiting activities beyond homes, hotels in Singapore brought out their 2020 playbook and stepped up F&B delivery service and takeaways.
Shangri-La Singapore expanded its takeaway and delivery menu, offering 10 cuisines and more than 150 dishes for guests to enjoy in the comfort and safety of their home. To further entice customers, the luxury hotel has shaved 15 per cent off selected items, and lifted minimum spend requirements.

The landed property market saw a strong pick up in Q4 2020. Back then, we heard plenty of market watchers speculate that landed prices had to come down soon; it just took time for Covid-19’s effects to bite.
Well, it hasn’t happened yet; and so far demand has been unrelentingly high. Case in point: The sale of a $128.8 million Good Class Bungalow (GCB) along Nassim Road, in Q1 of this year, at a jaw dropping $4,005 psf.
And it has barely been 2 months since – and there have been reports of that record being broken. A GCB on Cluny Hill is in the early stages of a sale at $63.7 million, or a potentially new record of $4,291 psf.
