Some outdoor eateries are feeling the pinch as customers stay away because of the unhealthy levels of haze that have been recorded in Singapore since last week.
Alfresco restaurants and open-air hawker stalls in the Central Business District that The Straits Times spoke to yesterday said they have seen a 20 per cent drop in lunch and dinner crowds in the past few days.
