White Knight is an investment and operations group in the franchise sector helmed by its director and serial entrepreneur Adam Tan, 37. His older brother, local actor Andie Chen, 40, is its chief marketing officer.

They are backed by a team of entrepreneurs and advisers, including their eldest brother Ash Chen, 41. This marks the first time the three brothers are working together.

The official acquisition date was Nov 1, and White Knight announced it on Nov 17 at Vineyard at HortPark, one of the 13 brands under its restaurant empire.

The other restaurant brands include Bangkok Jam, Suki-Ya, Typhoon Cafe and Tanglin Cookhouse, along with two catering arms: Creative Eateries Catering and the _halal-certified Shiok Kitchen Catering.
