On their Facebook, the restaurant shared that the final closure date was brought forward from Dec. 5 to Nov. 28, as "contractors need more time to reinstate."

The sad part here is that while retail/F&B outlets are closing down one after another, the mall/property owners are still raking in the millions.
A huge part of it are owned by Temasek or GLC's -so end of day the peasants are still working their ass out for the PAP ministers who are earning millions no matter how much locals are jobless, suffering, or dying from covid,
How come millions of foreigners here are doing well while locals are suffering-?

Peranakan food is overrated. Something that I’ll take maybe once in a decade.

Its way better than starchy chinese food.

The thing about so called non-profit organisation is that after deducting all operating expenses...it is actually loss making.

I agree. Most peranakan food is gimmicky. It's basically nasi padang. They can charge higher due to good marketing strategy like the 'Violet Oon' restaurants.

Close it down and re-operate at any neighborhood center coffee shop, this might bring the owner some money instead

Sinkieland version is overrated. For the real deal, you have to go to Melaka.

In Melaka they truly embrace their Peranakan heritage. Here, they use Peranakans as a comedy punchline.
