I used to frequent the Ponderosa restaurant there (the salad buffet was fantastic). Now I think the entire chain is gone.

i wish i was still 21.:p

but 21 is far away from me now lah.

balaji, if you trace back this thread, i am the one who first brought up Ponderosa. I was myself amazed because it was a blast from the past i tot i had forgotten!

Halsey is right, there was one in Marina Sq.
In fact the last I heard of it & it was in the early 2000s, there was a Ponderosa in Tampines Mall.

I believe it has exited our shores.... a pity. I always prefer Ponde to Swenson.
The fish & chips instead of chips, the baked potato in silver foil, when you add butter in while it is hot .... SMASHING !

dont mention star wars pls.

I threw all my first series collection away! The ones with retractable light sabers on. Those days toys where really toys, not some seal up trophies but toys you make up stories and played along with!
