Singapore

BURPPLE, a digital guide to eating places in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, has announced that it will receive up to US$6 million in funding from Tembusu Partners, SPH Media Fund and Triumph Capital to strengthen its existing market position and expand into other gourmet capitals in Asia.

Launched in 2012 by three Singaporeans, Burpple is a mobile app and website that helps users decide where to eat based on recommendations from other food lovers and Burpple editors. It will use the funds to enhance its existing features, introduce complimentary dining services, and hire engineers and product development staff as it prepares for a regional roll-out.
