Indeed, there were two padang restaurants; the other was called Tiong Hua. I've tried both and I think I preferred Tiong Hua's food. The Capitol coffee house you referred to was probably Merlin, complete with plastic replica food and a few lao chio waitresses.

You could be right about the spelling of cafe. Those days, I only heard the name spoken, never checked the sign boards and never saw it it print.

While we played our card games, he would come over to tcss with us, and sometimes our host would arrange a mahjong game for him.

The last Indian Mee Siam stall that I know was in Golden Shoe car park Hawker Centre. It was the real thing.

Don't think so, those kind of Indians were migrant settlers here, most of them have left or pass on. That is why the bread on bicycle is gone too. This is an unique Mee Siam ( not mai hum).

Anyone know why it is called Mee SIAM??

Right hand side star case, third floor, reach there turn left, that kind of Indian Mee Siam is gone, that fellow retired ages. My colleague & me, used to eat there, extra mee hoon plus gravy ( now NEA wants you to request less pay more!), top up with a tau kua, after eating take, go back office, hide in the conference room & tidur till lunch time is over!!. Really delicious...yummy! sedap!

Why is it called MEE SIAM? any idea? You go Siam, they tell you, what "Mess Siam"??

No Sir, it was the Hilton hotel.

A week after the gruesome discovery we met with Ewe Hin at his cousin's house in Queen Astrid Park to play Gin Rummy.


Sorry, I still have a lingering memory it was Hyatt..ok! since you know the people involved, I have erred. I know someone who lives in Queen Astrid Park too...hmmm

Yes, its possible, on some models of Brietling, u don't need the slide rule. I am looking to buy a Breitling myself, so I have been doing my research. Its for commercial airline pilot. On a fighter plane, can't be done, u need your eyes outside the cockpit.
