SINGAPORE - Amid the bleak food and beverage landscape, a couple of eateries that are old favourites have made a comeback, while a handful of new brands have opened.

On June 1, when the circuit breaker ends, but dine-in is still not allowed, burger joint Wildfire Chicken & Burgers will reopen at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Bencoolen Street. It will re-launch at the space where Ms Joanne Toh, 26, and Mr Shaun Leong, 33, ran chicken and waffle eatery Cluck Cluck.

The menu has been streamlined, with burgers that come in smaller sizes - good for"eating with one hand while working from home", says Mr Lu.Mr Leong had considered other F&B concepts such as rice bowls or bubble tea, but felt they were"not unique enough".He says:"We knew Covid-19 would take a while to go away and needed a company, product or brand that could compete islandwide. If we can do well now, we should be fine when things get better later.

The Akashi Group also owns Japanese restaurant Akashi, and casual chains London Fat Duck and GyozaYa.Those which opened in April include South-east Asian restaurant Laut in Stanley Street, and Nalati Restaurant & Events at Raffles Place.To drum up business, Nalati, which serves Asian fare, is offering 50 per cent off its takeaway menus till June 30. Bento meals are priced from $8.50.
