After closing the doors on his two restaurants following the governments strict no dine-in rule, MasterChef Australia star Reynold Poernomo has revealed why hes back in business.

The 26-year-olds two Koi Dessert Bars in Sydneys Chippendale and Ryde have reopened for takeaway and delivery ahead of the Easter long weekend, a decision Reynold made to save his livelihood.

Last month Prime Minister Scott Morrison said pubs, registered and licensed clubs, gyms and indoor sporting venues would shut down, while restaurants and cafes will be limited to takeaway orders only.

With no specific dates surrounding these social distancing rules, Reynold said the waiting game wasnt practical for him and his brothers, whom he opened the restaurants with.

We werent sure, the government didnt really say anything about how long this lockdown would be, he told HuffPost Australia.
