Gordon Ramsay to set up shop in Singapore?

SINGAPORE – Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is looking to open a restaurant right here at Chinatown’s Keong Saik Road, according to a post by 8 Days.

The magazine reported today (Oct 4) that owners of two separate Keong Saik Road eateries told 8 Days that the celebrity chef is “hunting for a space in the area”.

Makan guru KF Seetoh - who hosted the SingTel hawker food challenge when Ramsay was in town – has confirmed the rumours.

He allegedly told 8 Days: “Yes Gordon is looking to set up shop in Keong Saik. There are many parties interested in working with him on this, but I can’t say whom. The project might take a couple of years though, and he should stick to what he knows best: Western. Don’t try anything funny like chwee kueh with bolognaise sauce. It might work in London but not here.”

Spa death: 'Suicide or sex game gone wrong'

A naked businessman found hanging at an all-male spa could have died as the result of a sex game that went wrong, a court heard yesterday.

Mr Yeo Hung Song may have been practising auto-erotic asphyxiation, which involves starving the brain of oxygen to increase sexual arousal.

But State Coroner Imran Abdul Hamid said that suicide was also a possibility. He added that the 48-year-old restaurant boss, who was not married, suffered from depression and was believed to have harboured suicidal tendencies.

Mr Yeo was found dead in a cubicle at Club One Seven Spa & Gym - which is strictly for men only and has membership cards that list no names but only numbers. The court heard that he arrived on a motorbike at about 2pm on Nov 19 last year.
