Tropicana on Scotts Road

If I remember right, the stage was a small makeshift one, same level as the floor. Oh yes, Anita was super - even by today's standards. And she was home-grown.
As for the Tim-sum sauce, it was there that I learnt that mustard "cuts" the fat on meat and goes well with greasy foods like siew-mai. Till today, I still spread mustard on fatty cuts of meat.
Cheers!
It was the Orchard Road race that got me into bikes. I remember one DOHC 4-cylinder Kawasaki (which my friend claims was a Japan spec 750 Z-2, but I say was a 900 Z-1) was zapping the circuit and ran rings around a police VW bug. The rider really captivated the crowd and I think after that, the cops upgraded their hardware to the Yamaha XS1100. Prior to this, they were wanking around with the Norton Commando - a hot machine until the Japanese multi-cylinders came to our streets. By the time I got to ride, the fucking authorities BANNED full-face helmets -NO FUCKING CONSIDERATION for rider protection. I will always hate them for this.
Cheers!
Red star good esp the phoenix feet v nice for me is a must order.Try it.I used to stay in PP & would often tau pow from Sin Leong. Is the food at Red Star any good
maybe he was a franchisee himself but definitely not related to the Malaysian founders
Trolleys still being used during tim sum?
Yes but no busy days trolleys no chance to move....kiasu sinkies surround trolleys to grab....machiam hungry refugees
Thanks. Will makan there when in town during the day.
wah lan eh, police VW bugs.. that one really old, SPF upgraded their mata chias to Mitsubishi LanJiao after that. Always remember some kids shouting LanJiao Chia lai liao when they saw them
that one becos too many full faced helmut bank robberies lah, not your fault ahahahaa.
Those days, as long as one had a steady job, one could have a comfortable life. Many teachers in my school owned landed properties in Opera Estate and Frankel. These days, even a high-level manager in a large company will not even entertain that thought! A clerk today can't even date a girl out! Inflasi? Or Gahmen policies?
Cheer!
trolleys are for nostelgia lah, always prefer if timsum came straight from kitchen to your table, its fresher! by the time the trolley arrives if it's not being jumped on & raped by the kiasu sinkies, it's all sitting too long in the trolley, not nice anymore.
if you're a regular timsum'er you'll know which way the trolley goes & boss will always sit you in good table so you can catch the trolley as it comes out, those blur sotong will sit one corner table, eat nothing one!

Dollah Kasim!!! i was stupid enough to think it was spelt dollar kasim as brian richmond use to do the match commentary.. the original Kallang Roar!! sipay song those days
Thinking back, I actually loved the fired fishball with chilli they sold at the stadium stands. Yes, Sg was the ideal place to grow up then. If you don't stare at folks when you go out, there would be no trouble and one can safely enjoy all that life has to offer in Peesai then, different folks got together well without caring for what race, religion, or social class one came from.
Cheers!
Agree. saw this scene many time better to go on weekday.wk end long Q too.
There're two places no one seems to recall:
- In Singapore - the Kashbar at the Mandarin - I recall they too had a topless revue that performed from time to time
- In JB - Queen Bee which was in TAR Complex - downmarket version of Mechinta where I saw my first tiger show.
yes my aunty's malay neighbours would come over & celebrate Chinese new year with us, of course back than everyone practiced.. see no evil, hear no evil & speak no evil, they said our bak kwa was very tasty!
and when they celebrated hari raya, we always cheong their homemade serunding, melt in your mouth!! staring no problem, everybody looked after each other, malay, chinese, indian, eurasian all brothers & sisters, really kampung atmosphere, my favourite was when my aunty had to work so i stayed with her malay neighbours after skola & had the best malay food ever, keropok & keuh keuh for afternoon tea. Later when i went back to stay with my own family, i really missed staying with my aunty in her kampung.
I do not remember any bank robberies in Peesai where the bad guys used full-faced helmets. That idea came from one episode of the old Hawaii 5-O I think. The authorities in Sg just hated bikers. Some time after that, they came up with a law that required ALL motorcycles above 200c.c. to install "crash bars" on them! Imagine, a trail (offroad) bike of 250cc donning these? They look like kuku dumbshits! The entire motorcycle industry world wide called these protective bars "engine guards" Only the bloody Straits Times called them crash bars! Couple of my friends riding trail bikes quit after that, they couldn't handle riding around sporty-slim trailbikes fitted with those unsightly "crash bars." I sent in a photo to the papers of a Suzuki GT750 with its engine guards caught by a car's bumpers and dragged the bike along - but it was never published. When I was in the U.S., I told some motocyle enthusiast friends about the full face helmet ban in Singapore - and they didn't believe what I told them - they said it was absurd. The authorities then just did not want the image of motorcyclist to be cool, that's the way I see it. Fuck them.
Cheers!
Gold Leaf was in Orchard area, and Oasis at Kallang.
i was born one decade before you, may i tell u guys, the 60s n 70s were probably spore's best years, simple and peaceful and innocent... bruce lee, kallang roar, etc etc
oh yes now that you've reminded me, the Kashbar @ Mandarin but that one like you say is only from time to time, it was a very very Atas joint to go & we never made it there in the end, one guy who used to work in Mandarin first told got topless dancers & i didn't believe him until i read or saw the poster? so long ago, can't remember
talking about Tigerrr Shows, anyone see the shows at Desker & Jln Sultan back alleys? the OTK would discreetly announce & collect money first than faster open window & show until someone shouted Mata lai liao than show ended. it was hilarious but i did see my first pingpong & cigarette puffing show there, up until then i thought it was a myth until i saw with my own 2 eyes
