Speaking to 8days, Maxine said “it was very sad news to share”, adding that” the two main reasons ( for the closure ) are the exponentially increasing costs of operations, and that our rental lease ( expiry ) is coming up”.  ,
According to a colleague who frequents the Joo Chiat neighborhood, the patisserie has been “typically rather quiet” in recent months.
But, what’s next for the restaurant? Maxine shares that” for now ( she ) plans on taking a break for a while, with no future plans with Ebb &, Flow Group at the moment”. She confirmed that when Tigerlily has ceased activities, she’ll no longer be part of the Ebb &, Flow Group.
Before opening Tigerlily, Maxine told 8days she had initially wanted to travel and stage at restaurants around the world, but could n’t do so due to the pandemic. She now states to 8days that “it’s certainly everything I’ll get looking into in the future.”  ,
Goods TO TRY
If you’re planning to head down to Tigerlily for a last visit before its shutdown, how’s what to buy.  ,
The patisserie’s swansong seasonal bakes for the month include this Easter Surprise ( S$ 24.80 ), which features two entremets , – a golden egg, made with salted popcorn mousse and pecan praline, and a rice pudding- filled white rabbit.  ,
