Mr Tarik Eating House in Changi Village.. no more
Mr Tarik Eating House in Changi Village.. no more
Are the closure of places such as these a better barometer to the state of the economy than the figures put out by the Govt.
So many food places have closed up my may in the past year and a half.
These places were pretty busy too.

If some business closes, but a higher margin business comes in its place then, well, its not really hurting the economy atleast at the moment. In the Tampines mall, I know there was a chocolate popcorn shop in the ground floor and it wasnt doing much business and closed and the place was renovating. Yesterday we went to Tampines mall and saw that in its place there was a brand new plush French cafe called Paris Baguette opened and the place was roaring with business and people queueing outside, that we almost thought they were giving out stuff for free!

"New American flame-grilling diner serving burgers called Burger King"
"New Italian espresso cafe called Starbucks"
It's just another huge chain that's everywhere in the world. Except maybe India.
Only Korea, China, USA, Singapore, and Vietnam.

Right but it's still a rather large chain, and you just named countries that cover a huge portion of the world's population, probably 25-35% of it.Wd40 wrote:Not everywhere in the world.zzm9980 wrote:Wd40 wrote: new plush French cafe called Paris Baguette![]()

I thought Mr Teh Tarik place had been open quite a while... always seemed quite full as well.katbh wrote:Changi Village is a business world of its own. It does not reflect much about the rest of Singapore. Places open and close regularly - especially on the corner as you turn in. New place every 6 months. While other places have been there for years and look like never leaving!
There used be a nice vietnam noodle place there.... sadly it didnt serve alcohol.
New place is gonna be a steamboat place ...... opening in November .... They better be quick
