13 restaurants, 6 cafes, 6 bars, and 7 hawkers. Because of the bad economy, some trends that I’ve been noticing show up in these new openings:<\/p>\n

1. Fewer and fewer fine-dining restaurants. Eateries are moving towards casual dining.<\/p>\n

2. Casual dining\u00a0means that hawker food stalls are expanding into restaurant setting. This sounds counterintuitive; what?! people should be eating at hawkers, not restaurants, if we are in a bad economy. But people are used to\u00a0some comfort, and these hawker-restaurants offer a good compromise.<\/p>\n

3. More bars are opening, combining food and alcohol, because since people aren’t spending much on food, f&b establishments need to supplement their income. Alcoholics are spendthrifts, you don’t need much manpower to pour a drink, and the profit margin for alcohol is high.<\/p>\n

4. Because of the bad economy, kids with rich parents aren’t opening cafes; parents just aren’t giving them money. The cafes are either holes in the wall or takeaway or opened by big companies. Small\u00a0cafes become more specialized.<\/p>\n

5. Young people are opening more Western food stalls in foodcourts, instead of cafes or restaurants.<\/p>\n

These are the new openings in Feb 2017:<\/p>\n
