Within the span of a few months, both Fore Coffee and Kopi Kenangan have opened up outlets in the city-state. Luckin Coffee, too, has made its entry into the country, and it seems to have expanded pretty quickly. Of course, there’s been a casualty in the space as well - Flash Coffee [exited the market]( in October. I’ve yet to try drinks from any of these new brands that have entered Singapore. But judging from the queues and crowds I’ve seen around their outlets, things seem to be off to a good start. However, the coffee war in Southeast Asia has only just begun, as we discover in today’s premium story. -- Stefanie  ---------------------------------------------------------------  THE BIG STORY [Clash of the cuppas in SEA as China’s Luckin enters the scene]( Fore Coffee and Kopi Kenangan both expanded regionally this year.
