Old School Panton



Checked out the Verner Panton exhibition at the National Museum of Singapore, it was not really as fantastic as I thought. Whizzed in and out in under 10 minutes flat.

Met up with my friends for a dinner at Chalk in Mount Sophia.

Similar to Mount Emily, OldSchool is a small artist enclave with a cozy bar and restaurant on its premises. There is Timbre there with its easy listening live music outdoor band. Parking seemed to be a tad limited but luckily we were there early.

For about 15++ a starter and 30++ for mains, I am not coming back here again for mediocre food. Maybe to Timbre for music, but I am giving Chalk a pass. Given that Mount Emily is just located 5 minutes away with much better food and prices. I pray that Chalk will fold and something better will open. The five of us had different starters and different mains, no one truly loved or remotely liked anything except for the view. So it's not me ! It's them !

Off on a better note, we headed to Clinic afterwards for drinks and caught a full fledged salsa party hosted by Bacardi. Life is still good ~
