The line to that restaurant off Orchard Road was a mile long. People were jostling for entry. Some people had travelled from Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur to check it out.
It’s been 29 years since my first night out in Singapore. Though my hair has greyed, the memories are fresh.
The evening began on Mohammed Sultan Road, where a row of shophouses had been turned into bars. My hosts then took me to the Hard Rock Café.
