Bangkok’s Greyhound Cafe heads to Singapore
In this article (4)
From Bangkok, fashion and lifestyle venue Greyhound Cafe will open in Singapore in November.
Greyhound started as a fashion brand in 1980 with a casual menswear outlet. In 1997 it decided to bring together fashion and lifestyle by opening its own cafe in the Emporium Shopping Complex in Bangkok.
Design is a strong element in its cafes, with its seven outlets in Bangkok all featuring such modern touches as murals and monochromatic furnishings, as well as specially designed staff uniforms.
Greyhound is known for its fried wings, Thai iced tea granita and coconut crepe cake, and has been described by Fortune magazine as “the hottest seats in Bangkok”. Signature dishes include Complicated Noodle (a self-assembled dish), Fried Rice Noodle with Chicken and Dried Squid, and Spaghetti with Crab Meat and Prawn Cream Sauce.
Singapore’s Greyhound Cafe will be in Paragon on Orchard Road.
Early this month, Greyhound Thailand’s parent, Mudman, launched an IPO to raise capital for further investment at home and abroad.
