Former actress Jazreel Low is expanding her culinary footprint by opening a wellness-driven food and beverage concept named Shared Table at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, according to an Instagram announcement posted on Aug 1. The 60-year-old entrepreneur, who already owns Aramsa ~ The Garden Spa situated within the same park, is currently hiring staff for the new venture.
Wellness-Driven Dining at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park
Shared Table is designed to complement the natural setting of Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park through mindful nourishment and community connection, according to promotional images shared in Jazreel’s social media announcement. This opening marks her return to the park’s dining scene after previously owning the Japanese restaurant ToriYard at the same location, which is now permanently closed.
Did you know? Jazreel Low finished as the second runner-up at the inaugural Star Awards in 1988, trailing winner Zoe Tay and runner-up Aileen Tan. The trio starred together in the drama series My Fair Ladies before Jazreel reportedly stepped away from full-time acting in 1994.
Navigating the Realities of F&B and Spa Operations
In a 2018 interview with 8Days, she noted that running Aramsa ~ The Garden Spa proved to be far more challenging than her previous retail and dining ventures, which included a bridal shop.
“It’s labour intensive. There are manpower shortages in F&B as well, but it’s harder to train spa therapists. It’s something that nobody wants to do in Singapore ‘cos it’s tough work,” Jazreel told 8Days in 2018. She also pointed out that local consumer expectations demand high standards, adding, “Expectations from customers are high, too. Singaporeans are very well travelled so you can’t fool them.”
