lets reminisce about old restaurants

Yes, they moved to Marine Parade. But I prefer the original location. Just turn in from Upper Serangoon Rd into the big car park within their compound.

Should be where Potong Pasir is now

..
and then there was one Ujagar Singh, hope I got the name right ,in a lane next to my office behind Peninsula Plaza ,it was in no way a restaurant but a dead coffee shop and the Singh upstairs ,his food was quite exclusive in the sense only known people patronize him, do not serve more than a group of eight at any one time

but the food is simply heaven ,out of this world and not cheap either..

Ujagar Singh was famous for his Punjab lamb chops. Either late 80s or early 90s, he his stall relocated to the top floor Funan Centre food court. I had once as a poor student. Singh served me himself. Yup not cheap. But at the time I didn't know he was so legendary.

My gang had a few times in 1981. Horrible beef burgers compared to McDs. The beef tasted like hastily defrosted and fried type.

Homegrown cafe chain Bakerzin, which has been around for 22 years, went into liquidation in Oct 2020 as it owed creditors over $41 million. The business could not be sustained owing to Covid-19.

Prima Tower Revolving Restaurant is a familiar sight for older S'poreans. This unique restaurant offered diners Beijing fare and spectacular panoramic views of Sentosa and Mount Faber as it revolved on a grain silo. It was supposed to be temporarily closed due to the Circuit Breaker, but ended up closing for good after 43 years.

After 9 years, another homegrown Italian-American café, Spruce closed its Old Fire Station outlet in Bukit Timah to make way for the National Park Board's future developments. However, it still has 2 other outlets at Bukit Batok and Tanglin.

Fosters closed after 6 decades of serving up steaks and high tea at Holland Village

Closed already? Oh dear. Their high tea set good enough for small budget.

Any Samsters remember Glutton Square ?

 

[True Believer]

My parents used to park at the open air space in the daytime to go across to Cold Storage.
It was transformed to Glutton's Square at night.
