☕️ We ordered Polar curry puffs, eclairs & a log of butter cake for tea time recently via Grab Delivery from the Mt Alveria Hospital's Polar Puffs outlet.
️ The cakes and savoury pastries were, as usual, delicious and tasty. ✳️ Polar Puffs remains an all-time favourite and reliable bakery for me, offering good quality bakes that I can count on.

My memories
-----------------
Did you know that Polar Cafe's original shop was at High Street? In the early 1970s, my Peranakan father took me there a few times. I was very small then, maybe only 5 or 6 years old, so I only have a faint memory of the cafe.
♀️ It was many years later that I realised that was the original Polar Cafe of High Street.

*******************************************
☕ My late father used to take me to Polar Cafe at 51 High Street in the early 1970s. I have faint but lovely memories of the cafe. I do remember eating the curry puffs and their famed sugar rolls.
● At the old Polar Cafe at High Street in the distant past, I distinctly recall climbing a short flight of steps to the second floor and sitting at a small square table next to an open window with a view of the nearby Singapore River. I still remember the white, large round lamp hanging above us, and the small white table where we sat.
● When seated, I barely reached the height of the table. At some point, I got down from the chair and inched my way gingerly towards the open windows to get a better view of the surroundings. I recall clearly seeing a thin sliver of the Singapore River and at that time, I thought to myself, "wah, there is a river here." I love viewing canals and streams, you see.
● Because there were not many tall buildings in those days, I was able to view the Singapore River from my vantage point on the 2nd floor of the cafe.
That is the only memory I have of Polar Cafe. There were some 1960s-style rattan or wicker chairs on the first floor. I was only about 5 to 7 years old. That is all I can remember.
