I was lucky to attend a dinner at Tropicana during the seventies and was considered underaged to witness a topless dance troupe. Was only in secondary school at that time.
Cheers!

Neptune was the longest surviving one....would still be around if not for redevelopment. Good memories of that place....daytime dim sum was one of the best....
For cheap-skates like us (still schooling lah), it was $7-50 'cover charge' (as it was called in those days) about 50 patrons could be squeezed up where they operated the lights to watch the show behind glass panels so that we cannot disturb the high class patrons.
Neptune too had topless shows (usually Russian girls) and also, after 11-00pm. Sundays, filled with families on dim sum feasts.
KNN now than you tell me i had to hunt the streets behind for minahs.
more info on Neptune please, i particularly like the Tropicana signage in front on Scoots Rd, gave the place a Vegas look, did Neptune have such a presence? i guess if it was inside Peninsula, it did not have a street fronted signage or did it?
70s was a great decade for us. Things were affordable, Sg was undergoing tremendous economic growth and there was an upbeat mood all around. Ordchard Road motorcyle races, discos, hot minahs. Girls wore miniskirts and hotpants. People were still quite simple then - school mates would hold``function`in their homes - unlike now where parties are held at hotel ballroms costing a bomb. And you could buy ganja for $3.50 a kartoo or $15 for a satay of Buddha Stick. But there was also Operation Ferret.
Cheers!
Neptune's stage was pretty big as well....always got wedding dinners held there....on the 5th floor if not wrong...........the carpark was about as tall.......
i go there day and night because then my friend who was also my stockbroker his office on the ground floor.......OUB securities.
The acts, all angmos......mostly russians....very clean nothing sleazy.........only the old folks get worked up only.
Neptune also just next to collyer quay where alot of action also.
My mom and aunts would meet for lunch at that Mayflower for Tim Sum whenver they went to CK Tang to shop. That was where I first saw Anita Sarawak perfom and if I remember correctly, she was a dynamite perfomer!! I liked the tim sum there, coming around on trolleys and the mustard-sweet red sauce dip came in one saucer with both dips separated in between - don`t see this anymore.
Remembered the RM$5 bar of soap you buy to lather the ladies.....

And Sg had a great soccer team then that put all the races together (Kim Song, Eric Paine, Ashrad Khamis, Rajagopal) - unlike now where its an all Malay team. My uncle who was a shipping clerk then used to get entertained by vendors at Oasis almost every week. I never been there though. Not bad for clerk, has a Triumph Spitfire for his wheels.
