Is Brunei the first ASEAN country to implement the Syariah Law for the whole nation regardless of religious beliefs? http://www.bt.com.bn/news-national/2014/06/29/no-daytime-dining-eateries-ramadhan Sunday, June 29, 2014 THE Brunei Islamic Religious Council (MUIB) confirmed yesterday that all restaurants — both halal and non-halal — would not be allowed to serve food for daytime diners during Ramadhan. MUIB Acting Secretary Hj Abd Aziz Hj Akop (pic) said restaurants are still allowed to remain open to accommodate take-away orders. Reading from a statement at a press conference yesterday, he said restaurants serving dine-in customers during the fasting hours in the month of Ramadhan would be penalised under the Syariah Penal Code Order. Restaurant owners have been advised to inform their staff — either verbally or in writing — regarding the rules or prepare a notice informing all customers that dining-in is prohibited during the fasting period. Quoting Chapter 195 of the Syariah Penal Code Order, “Not Respecting the Month of Ramadhan”, he said any individual found eating, drinking or inhaling anything in public could receive a fine of up to $4,000 and/or a maximum of one-year imprisonment. Hj Abd Aziz said that these public places include restaurants, food courts, cafes and markets. The acting MUIB secretary emphasised that both Muslims and non-Muslims would be liable under this provision. If a restaurant was caught serving food or drinks to individuals during the fasting hours, it will be assumed that the owner of the restaurant is abetting in the crime and will be liable for punishment, he added. However, he said the penalty does not apply to healthcare workers administering medicine or serving food to patients requiring it. “For example, if an individual finds an injured person in the middle of the street who needed food, water or medicine, then the individual feeding the injured person will not be committing an offence under this provision,” said Hj Abd Aziz. The acting secretary did not take questions from the media during the press conference at the Ministry of Religious Affairs headquarters. It was previously reported that restaurants owners were unclear about the daytime dining ban during Ramadhan. The MUIB last year issued a directive prohibiting restaurants to serve food to customers at their premises during the fasting period. The directive also applies to foreigners, including tourists.

Romantic meals right at the edge of the Singapore River will soon become a thing of the past at Robertson Quay and Clarke Quay, when new rules on outdoor refreshment areas kick in this week. Under new guidelines from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), diners' tables cannot be placed right by the riverside. The aim, it said, is to "free up the riverfront for public access". The new rules are effective immediately, but the URA said it would give operators "sufficient time" to clear the riverside tables. Outdoor tables on the side of the walkway away from the river can stay, and restaurants can also apply to develop second-storey extensions from buildings to create dining areas there.

Singaporeans are the region's top spenders for dining, according to a MasterCard survey of consumer dining habits across the Asia-Pacific region. The Republic overtook Japan to climb to top spot, with an average monthly dining spend of US$262 ($323). This is up nearly 25 per cent from US$212 in June 2011. Japanese and Chinese consumers follow closely behind with an average monthly dining spend of US$225 and US$203 respectively. The global survey was conducted with residents aged between 18 and 64. The online interviews, conducted between November and December 2012, lasted about 45 minutes each. A total of 455 Singapore residents were interviewed, out of close to 8,000 respondents globally.

Hi Guys, As above, i need recommendation for a private dining place. The place must fit in 15 pax. TIA!

Hi, i notice that dining in singapore always got lots of noise. From kopitiam even to Chinese restaurants and even more atas like Fine Dining. Especially fine dining, i went to some of fine dining restaurants but the other customers making a lot of noise. There are some simply very loud and doesnt care other people. My question is fine dining environment should be quiet? People can talk but try to lower voice down, don't laugh like mad cow or even bang table while laughinng. I don't get to enjoy my food while listening to their buzzing noise! If there is any quiet fine dining or chinese restaurant, can u please let me know? I want to have a peaceful dinner
