The portal reported that one of its readers, Rachel Ho, shared an image that showed black smoke billowing out of the shophouse and several fire trucks lining a road.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it was informed about the fire incident at around 10 am. The authorities said that the fire involved the "contents of a kitchen" in the first-floor restaurant.
