Have you eaten a burger/western restaurant at Capitol building during the 80s? I miss that place man, my dad always bring me there order a cheeseburger.....

Magnolia? That's the only one I know in Capitol. For near Capitol, the first one was BK in Peninsula.

cutting fish up for sashimi is not easy ..:wink:

Fast to serve, but not easy behind. The substance is in the fish and the work is in the knifework and knife sharpening. I followed a sashimi chef a couple of weeks as visitor amateur. Long hard work.

Actually the best fast food burger I remember was Hardees. Next to Lido, where Europa is now.

Don't know if anyone can remember but in the 60's/70's the hot dogs but being sold at coffee shop at the back of Lido theatre was THE best. Back then Lido was only a 2 story structure, sepaparate from the building next door. The hotdog being at this back lane was just onions/dogs/& bread, but it was damn delicious. There was always a crowd queuing to get these dogs.:smile:

Decades latter when I working at Shaw Centre, an older uncle told me that the owner of the cafe had made a killing from selling these dogs & had invested the money buying private properties in Spore:eek:

It is unfortunate that these success stories are being lost to future generations. As they a tell a story of success without any political ties to the PAP. Nowadays the only successful you hear about are due ti "connections" with the 1st family:rolleyes:

No lah. Bro Ram is correct. I remember their first outlet was at the opening of Changi Airport on 1 July 1981 (now known as Terminal 1). It was called Church's Texas Fried Chicken. But they kaput real fast. The last few year's they re-entered SG market and is now called Texas Fried Chicken. There is an outlet at Expo. Bro Ram, do call me when you slaughter your fat dog, OK? We can enjoy it with a bottle of beer.

Just to jog some memory, their 2nd outlet was located at 2nd level People's Park Complex. Following a fallout among their top executives, KFC found itself another competitor called Yazawa's which survived for quite a while.
