One Last Dance
Attended the Cabaret Finale dinner at Neptune on Friday. No topless shows, in case you were wondering. While still in the mood of nostalgia, decided to take our family to its famous dim sum lunch on its very last day of operation today. In fact, the lunch would be the very last that is open to the public as they are booked for a private function tonight.
Opened in 1972, our parents have seen the hey days of this monumental attraction. The farewell given to the staff that Friday night was very touching. There was a couple who met while working there 31 years ago, got married, and are still working there till today!
The ladies, plus the Jemej attempting a "retro" pose.

Farewell Neptune!

oh, neptune's gone! used to go there once in a while for lunch when i was in raffles place. the tim sum was not bad. i think for me i just prefer having tim sum from the good ol' carts they wheel around!
yeah, i always like the dim sum on push carts idea, more authentic! the other place i haven't been to in a while is red star. wonder if it has changed in any way
