Finding an affordable meal in town isn’t easy, especially when you’re craving seafood.
For more than two decades, Rabbit Brand Seafood Delicacies at Lucky Plaza and Circular Road had been offering diners that.
Unfortunately, the restaurants owned by local seafood supplier Yeow Seng (Seafood) closed for good on Oct 29.
Speaking to AsiaOne on Thursday (Nov 12), Tee Choon Neo, senior executive of Yeow Seng (Seafood) said that the reason for closure was due to high overheads such as rising employee wages and costs.
As the restaurant did not want to increase its prices, it would be “operating at a loss” if business continued.
“Adjusting employees’ salaries is not so easy,” Choon Neo told us.
Instead, the restaurant owners decided to rent out the unit.
Rabbit Brand Seafood Delicacies opened at Lucky Plaza in 2000, and opened a second outlet at Circular Road in 2002.
Some of the restaurants’ dishes incorporated Yeow Seng (Seafood)’s dried products such as abalone and shark’s fin.
Items on Rabbit Brand Seafood Delicacies’ menu featured a variety of wallet-friendly set meals, inclusive of GST.
These included a Buddha Jump Over The Wall ($11) set and Baby Abalone in Sauce ($10) set, both served with a side of vegetables, rice and Chinese tea.
