Is this a case of competition pushing them to the edge or is it the pandemic effect? Cos there are a lot of BKT chain restaurants in sgp now.

Ate a few times at Hotel Boss. With 30% quite worth it I would say.

Not nice....

and why should we `save them'? They SIA ah? 

Sorry to sound impassionate but that's what business is all about. 

Survival of the fittest. 

They won't be the only ones going under.

Yeah. Last I tried the ribs are a little too dry.

Other chains taste better.

I think their BKT is catered for night spot/club goers cos they open til late. Since now with the pandemic, night spot/clubs not open so nobody go eat their BKT.

I dunno. My friend speculate that they over extended themselves with the several branches. 

Song fa bkt still seems to be doing well and brisk business since dine-in is reinstated. Albeit with lower turnover due to less seating capacity.

I’ve never heard of this brand till now. Not really a big BKT fan to begin with. But I really like the old school herbal type one at Alexander Village HC.

They expanded too agressively. Can always return to basic, operate in hawker centre. Why must close down? Too little money in hawker centre?

Ate a few times at Rangoon road outlet.

If they go, I won't miss it.

Cannot last for long if there is another stricter restriction impose yet again. Thats why cannot afford to close most of the shop or go into another CB again. If not many companies and shops sure jialat this time. Cause govt also cannot continue to help so much again.

Ya.. Like this one..

Businesses dropped by 85% since circuit breaker and even post circuit breaker also show no much improvement except maybe at balestier brunch. If really no choice, then have to close down non profitable brunch and still left the balestier brunch lor.. Live to fight another day when situation gets better..
