New restaurants in Singapore make the best of a stressful situation with dining in off the table again
SINGAPORE - New restaurants are feeling the heat from the changing rules for dining in.
Over the last two months, these went from no dining in to two people allowed to five vaccinated people to no dining in again. The latest rule will kick in from Thursday (July 22) to Aug 18 under Covid-19 phase two (heightened alert) of reopening.
Chef-partner Remy Lefebvre, who delayed the opening of Casa Restaurant by Remy Lefebvre at Chijmes until last month, said: Opening a restaurant is difficult and requires projection and experience, but in this environment, we don t even know what the projections are for next week.
