The casual eatery frequented by the likes of Fann Wong, Christopher Lee, Chen Hanwei and Fiona Xie has also been acquired by caterer Neo Group.
Orchard Towers may have had a certain sleazy reputation, but it is also well-known among local foodies for having great eateries tucked away in the building. Like Korat Thai Cafe, which was recently bought over by Class 95 DJs The Muttons.
According to Mdm Loij, the stars liked ordering her signatures like kacang botol and beef rendang. She is also such a fixture at her eatery that the celebs would even ask about her absence whenever she was not in the shop. “Maybe they felt the food was better when I was there,” she joked.In June this year, Mdm Loij shifted her longtime business out of Orchard Towers to Suntec City.
But the dinnertime crowd is still rather sluggish. The rep pointed out that the shop is located in a quiet corner of Suntec City’s Tower 4, and F&B competition is fierce in the mall with many food options available there.A couple of significant changes at Chopstix & Rice after the move: Instead of a full array of dishes, customers can now only choose from around 12 a la carte nasi padang dishes at lunchtime.
“Maybe we will do our full display again when we find a location with a heavier crowd. I feel most people don’t want to eat nasi padang for dinner. They want something freshly cooked and hot after a long day at work,” she opined.
