It was closed on 15th June 2015......ate a colleague child wedding dinner there...the product of that marriage, would have produced another product by now....time, really fly.
Cannot be that long ago. I only retired from chionging 2 years back and quite sure they were still around then.

Ok still not that long ago.
I used to go Neptune twice weekly for dim sum lunch every time I go collect cheques from my broker at securities firm downstairs.
Ang Teng was for the beer garden with the early batches of Thai chickens in the 90s and later morphed into HFJ joint before final demise.
There was a stall selling seafood soup with rice in there. Name of stall I recall is Red-something (Red Lantern?).
Their dried-sotong balls and fish cakes in the seafood soup were very nice. That was around 1990. Missed it till today and still trying to look out for them. Anyone knows where it gone to, let me know.

Da Da records used to sell cassette tapes without screws.
Was it owned by YAMAHA?, the first eating outlet, where you use FOOD TRAY, choose your food, buffet style, pay at the cashier....later it became McLionel King or something, was there one at Changi Airport too?...guessed Rental killed their business..
Never bought cassettes from them, only records, Patrick used to kind of stuck up, but later years, while they were at Funan...better..
