Brown Sugar bistro, helmed by chef-owner Yuan Oeij, is no more - for now, at least. It shut its doors last Sunday when its venue, the StarDus Clubhouse in River Valley Road, closed.
Mr Oeij, 39, has been scouting for a new space for the two-year restaurant since early last year when he learnt of the clubhouse's impending closure but without success. He says: "Brown Sugar had a strong customer following. In the last few months, our business was doing very well despite the weak economic situation."
While Mr Oeij finds a new home for Brown Sugar, its kitchen team is training at fine-dining restaurant Prive at the Marina at Keppel Bay, where he is a director. The service team is working at the Prive Bakery Cafe.
