Tanjong Pagar

Tanjong Pagar was a historic centre for Singapore's Chinese community. It is now a cosmopolitan area within walking distance of the CDB with a wide range of old and new shops. It is a good place for a lunch time meal with office workers, a post work hangout area for pubs and fine dining and a pleasant place to explore cafes and eclectic shops on a lazy weekend afternoon.

Hair Bliss indulgence Spa is closing

I gotthe e-mail below

"Dear Friends of Hair Bliss,

Thank you for your heartwarming support for Hair Bliss Herbal Hair Therapy over the past two and a half years, and it has been our pleasure to be of service to each and every one of you.

This business was borne out of passion and our belief in the therapy we have personally tried and benefitted. However, due to our mounting and challenging work schedule (yes, this is our little side business), we are unable to spend time to oversee the operations to our satisfaction and having put much consideration, regretfully we have to give up our passion.

Over the past months, the Hair Bliss team had been earnestly trying to identify a right buyer to take over the business, someone who shares the same passion and level of zest but unfortunately none met our criteria and it is with deepest regrets that we inform Hair Bliss Herbal Hair Therapy will cease business and our last day of operation will be on Saturday, 26th May 2012."

Plain Vanilla at The Plain

There was a cake shop- Plain Vanilla that was putting up a showcase of cakes at The Plain today.

I could not stay long enough to sample them but did they look good.





Don't tell me you are not drooling.

Some updates in the area 31/3/12

Some news I read on Business times today:

News 1: Le Petit Cancale
Le Petit Cancale which is part of the the Deliciae group behind L' Entrecote, 83 and Sabio is finally opening next week in Duxton Hill. All their restaurants so far have been in the Tanjong Pagar Area. They are over running this area but fortunately, their food is alright. This place looks like seafood will be the focus.

News 2: Absinthe
Absinthe is relocating to Boat Quay end of April. I'm not terribly upset by this. The food there is good but not really unique. With so many places in Singapore popping up, I will say it's not really the place to go anymore compared to 3 years ago.
Apparently, taking over the Absinthe spot will be a restaurant called Hashi, helmed by former head chef of Nobu Melbourne, Tadashi Takahashi,

News 3: Le Nicholas
This is sad news to me. One of my favourite restaurants in the area Le Nicholas is moving on after 5 years in the Keong Saik Road Spot. It will reopen in a different area in Jul or August.

News 4: Fifty Three
Fifty Three will be moving to 42 Tras Street. I haven't had the chance to try this place and finally will.
