50+ New Restaurants, Cafes & Bars in Singapore [April 2020]
Not surprisingly, the circuit breaker has broken the rhythm of new food and beverage offerings during March 2020.
Nevertheless, new players with a first outlet on the block, which are highlighted with a [NEW] prefix in the listing below, included the similarly names Lumo and Luna venues, a Twisted Trio and Hayo.
There's new outlets from Chicha San Chen, Domino's Pizza, Proofer Boulangerie and Marks & Spencer Food.
Our personal favourite, though, is Prepped.sgp offering ready-to-cook meals to take home - which seems rather appropriate in the circumstances.
Here's a review of what to look for on your culinary and entertainment journey around town when the circuit breaker end!
