foodXculture: An Interview with Christina Keilthy, Founder and Co-Owner of Mod-Peranakan Restaurant Godmama

Christina Keilthy’s history is an interesting one, hailing from the fast-moving consumer good industry and having dealt with brands from Danone Yogurt to Evian Water, and even Wrigley’s chewing gum (she also happens to be the brains behind the brand’s Eclipse mints, circumventing Singapore’s strict chewing gum sale laws). But F&B, and a restaurant at that, was a whole new world and untapped territory for … Continue reading foodXculture: An Interview with Christina Keilthy, Founder and Co-Owner of Mod-Peranakan Restaurant Godmama

Review: Cats presented by BASE Entertainment Asia

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 19/12/19) Feline fever dream impresses with its acrobatic skills and musical grandeur, landing squarely on its feet.  As a musical that’s stood the test of time and still receives acclaim over 40 years later, the plot of Cats, if you can call it a plot, is incredibly simple. Once a year, the Jellicle Cats gather around what appears to be a junkyard … Continue reading Review: Cats presented by BASE Entertainment Asia

Review: Single Mothers by Dwayne Ng

★★★☆☆ (Performance attended 20/12/19) New play tackles the challenges of single motherhood, and shows potential for more.  Being a single mother certainly isn’t easy. On top of one’s actual obligations to take care of one’s child more or less alone, the situation is often further complicated by society’s expectations and judgment thrust upon them.
