Some one told me there are fewer NEW F&B openings in Singapore. I do not think there are very much less. There should be at least 30 the last month, which works out to be at least one per day.
My observation is, new restaurants and cafes in Singapore are less visible, have possibly cut back on their marketing dollars, and there are more repeated concepts.
Case in point, Poké Bowl shops. 5 new ones last month, few know the difference other than locations.
Some big names below have opened new outlets. Unlike the previous branches where they were introduced with HUGE media fanfare, some are waiting, some are holding back. Pros and cons.
Here are 12 New & Hot Restaurants Singapore March 2017 (If there is a blue link behind the summary, click on it for a more detailed writeup.)

Peranakan Restaurant With Juicy Satay At Clarke Quay
After Violet Oon Restaurant Singapore at Bukit Timah, and National Kitchen by Violet Oon at National Gallery, Violet and her children Su-lyn and Yiming seemed to have put their experience and expertise well together, with this newest outlet appearing more polished in terms of décor and selection.
Satay options include Chicken ($14), Pork done Hainan style ($16), Angus Beef ($18), Prawn ($20), and Tripe ($15).
The grilled Angus Beef Satay is a must-order, surprisingly juicy and deliciously marinated in spices. Have a bite without additional sauce first, and savour that sweet spiced outer layer with smokiness. Violet Oon Satay Bar & Grill (Clarke Quay)

Chef Keisuke Takeda of Ramen Keisuke fame will be launching his 12th dining concept. No, it is not ramen, but a hamburg eatery called Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei.

Tengawa Hokkaido White Curry
Millenia Walk, 9 Raffles Boulevard, #02-14, Singapore 039596
Opening Hours: 11.30am – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
1st Hokkaido White Curry Japanese Restaurant In Singapore
The main difference between the usual Japanese curry, and white curry is that the latter is made using fresh Hokkaido milk without tumeric, the spice that contributes to the yellow colour.
Tengawa Hokkaido White Curry is the latest addition to the stretch of Japanese restaurants along the Nihon Food Street at Millenia Walk.
It is a 30-seater eatey, offering only 3 set meals on their menu at the moment.
The food items include Ebi (Prawn) Fry White Curry Set ($16.80), Japanese Style Hamburg White Curry Set ($15.80) and Chicken Katsu White Curry Set ($15.80). Thought that the base could have been smoother and more flavourful though. Tengawa Hokkaido White Curry (Millenia Walk)

Affordable Chirashi Don Shop At Thomson Plaza Opens Gyudon Concept
Sushiro has just expanded to Thomson Plaza #01-22/30, next to the main entrance and atrium. In place of the previous store space of #01-113F is another concept, Takumi by Sushiro which is more focused on Gyuniku Donburi.
The menu at Takumi is also streamlined and straightforward, with a meatier-take of beef and chicken rice bowls.
If you prefer curry, Takumi also serve Chicken Katsu Curry ($12) and Gyuniku Curry ($14) rice bowls. Both come with the option of udon as well.
Compared to the usual donburis which are typically drier, their version was more soupy.
The bowl was also overloaded with onions and rice, and I wished that they mixed in more beef instead. Takumi by Sushiro (Thomson Plaza)

Michelin Ramen At Tai Seng, Offering Exclusive Miso Soba

The Miso is exclusive to this outlet. Between the two, I still preferred the noodle texture of the Shoyu bowl. Tsuta Ramen (Tai Seng)
