Remembering Singapore the way it was
-
yeah.. KFC used to serve everything in proper plates and metal cutlery.. it was a nice sit-down place...
there was a Denny's and a Hardee's at Holland Village too.. they closed down...
kinda miss the old bakery in Plaza Singapura.. when Yaohan was there.. we could look in through the glass window and see the bakers hard at work kneading the dough and doing all the baker things

Just recently had a guy went down on one knee to propose.
Though I felt that his proposal wasnt really correct. (Maybe I am just cynical.)
Does anyone of you guys remembers when you actually went down on one knee to propose, and what was the location?

Thanks for the contribution.If my memory serves me right there was a big pond at Kampong Java years before the first KFC was built and after KFC Shakeys Pizza took over.
Paragon probably had the first modern toilet in SIngapore at that time with the automatic glass doors , hand dryers...30cts entry charge.
The pond was at the otherside of the park along New Cemetery Road (renamed as now as Cavenagh Road).
The First KFC was at Sin Min Rd in early 70s.

That was 1958 in Wonderland Restaurant in Katong. I told her I made $55,000 that year and the business was doing well.

I remember making red eggs for a neice 1st month.My ex hub was failing to dye the eggs with those new fangled food dyes.
I finally was only able to tinge the egg shells a bit by dipping the eggs into red dye after boiling them.

No this is my actual birth date.
Just sneak into the study for a little breather.
Crowded with family and friends. My old girl and sisters are busy in the kitchen preparing a feast.
My 2 cats hiding with me in the study.
