Putien’s founder and CEO, Fong Chi Chung, has opened a restaurant in Clark Quay that pays homage to the 60’s in a “new world” themed setting.
In accompaniment with the vibes of yesteryear, they serve a variety of local delights such as Hokkien Mee, Char Kway Teow and Hainanese Chicken Rice to name a few.
The dishes are priced at around $10 so it is quite reasonable for a restaurant located in a town area.
Just imagine the Instagram photos you can take here!

Facebook user SH Sham shared a video of his upstairs neighbour commencing with some hammering and drilling works during the wee hours, at around 2am.
He shared that the situation has been like this for a decade, since 2011.
He lamented that he reported the repeated incidents to the police repeatedly but they also feedback to him that the door is not open; although the hammering sounds stop momentarily when the police visit the perpetrator.
On 2 February 2021, a group of people were spotted gathering under Block 537 Ang Mo Kio shelter walkway.
A total of 9 of them were under the sheltered walkway when a Facebook viewer took the photo.
Some of them were even spotted not wearing a mask.
During the pandemic period where the number of cases started to rise again, it was an inconsiderate act by the group.
A video was recently uploaded on the Facebook page SGRV which shows an ah beng arguing with another man after being confronted for being extremely inconsiderate. The ah being also tried to pick a fight with the person who confronted him.
The LTA has recently replied and they have stated that enforcement officers have located the vehicle and enforcement actions have been taken for exhaust related offense.
Facebook user John Quek posted the following onto the Facebook group Complaint Singapore:
Where there was an obvious disparity between the prices for the same carton of Milo sold at NTUC Fairprice and Giant.
Netizens were left debating and discussing the reasons for the price difference, with many calling out NTUC for greed.
In a high-altitude experimental launch on February 2, a protoype of SpaceX’s Starship rocket exploded during a landing attempt, in an accident reminiscent of the previous explosion that also destroyed a test rocket.
The Starship SN9, was a test model of the heavy lift rocket that Elon Musk’s SpaceX was developing to carry humans and 100 tonnes of cargo to the moon and Mars.
The 16-storey tall rocket took off and soared into the sky from it’s Gulf Coast launch pad, where it reached peak altitude at 10km and hovered momentarily, shutting off its engines and descended nose-down under aerodynamic control.
However, then the rocket flipped its nose upward again to begin its landing sequence, 1 of the 3 Raptor thrusters failed to ignite, leaving the rocket to fall rapidly to the ground in a ball of flames, smoke and debris.
No injuries were reported.

A Singaporean guy recently wrote on Facebook after he fell in love with a girl who offered him a facemask on the streets when he forgot to bring one out. They managed to get together into a relationship but his parents and friends said she was ugly and fat.
Here is the full story.
5 months ago, as I was leaving my house for work and walking to the bus stop, I noticed a few strangers staring at me and avoiding me. As I was waiting for my bus, a woman who’s wearing a beige cardigan suddenly approached me and told me, “You forgot to wear mask.” I instinctively checked my pockets and backpack to see if I have a mask but realised I don’t have any. Seeing how anxious I was, she then asked me if I need a mask and proceeded to pass me an extra mask from her bag. As soon as she passed me the mask, her bus came and she quickly left. Since then, I started carrying extra masks in my bag.
A few weeks later, I saw a woman wearing a beige cardigan and I thought to myself that it could be the one who gave me a mask. Indeed it was her and so I decided to give her a new mask placed in a ziplock. I quickly wrote a Thank You note and put it inside the ziplock before giving her the ziplock. On the Thank You note, I wrote “You gave me your mask a few weeks ago. Thank you so much. By the way, you’re really cute! (:” and sneakily wrote down my number on the back of the note.
A few days later, I received a text saying, “Thank you for the mask! :)” To my surprise, it was her. I honestly did not expect that she would text me and I was so happy that she did. We then started texting and I realised she’s not just a pretty girl but also a very kind person. She’s also a preschool teacher and an active volunteer at animal shelters.
Eventually we started going out and I asked her to be my gf. But my mom doesn’t really like my gf as she thinks my gf is not pretty and quite fat and also 5 years older than me. It really saddens me that some of my friends and relatives have also commented the same thing. My sister even jokingly said that I have been blinded by love.
To me, kindness is the most important quality in a person and it is what makes you beautiful. Every act of kindness counts, no matter how small. On the day I first met my gf, everyone avoided me like the plague because I wasn’t wearing a mask, everyone except my girlfriend. Not only did she not avoid me, she even gave me her mask.
To everyone else, my gf may be just an average-looking chubby girl but in my eyes, she’s the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. If being blinded by love feels like happiness then I would gladly choose to be blind.
