Andie Chen, like many actors before him, is going into F&B. He\u2019s not opening a new joint, though. Instead, he and his brothers \u2013\u00a0<\/span>older brother Ash and younger brother Adam \u2013\u00a0<\/span>and their business partners have acquired Creative Eateries, it was announced on Monday (Nov 17). The homegrown restaurant group comes with a host of well-known brands such as Bangkok Jam, Suki-Ya, Tanglin Cookhouse, Barossa Steak & Grill and even a catering arm.<\/p>\n The brothers\u2019 company, founded by Adam, is called Asia White Knight Group and already owns the franchise rights to Singapore\u2019s six Joe & Dough outlets, where Adam gained operational experience in the F&B scene over the last few years. A serial entrepreneur, Adam is a self-proclaimed \u201cplatforms guy\u201d whose previous projects include building and running entertainment platform Effro.<\/p>\n It was Adam who approached him to join the team, Andie, last seen in the drama Fixing Fate, told CNA Lifestyle.\u00a0<\/p>\n Apart from acting, Andie also does production work and \u201cfor the past six years, I\u2019ve been enjoying giving money and opportunities to creatives and people I feel are capable. This is the same thing. We are trying to build the back engine so we can support F&B people with concepts that might not be able to play with the big players, but who have ideas and are very passionate. Why don\u2019t we help them with procurement, building volume, rental, marketing and media, so they can focus on what they are good at?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
