As of now, only its&nbsp;Le Quest Mall outlet remains open.&nbsp;Its Fook Hai Building, Esplanade Xchange and&nbsp;Holland Village&nbsp;Taste Gourmet Market outlets have permanently shuttered, the spokesperson confirmed.&nbsp;

The chain also has branches in Taiwan, Cambodia, China&nbsp;and Myanmar.
