Long before Starbucks and Coffee Club, there was in the heart of Singapore's High Street, a little shop called Polar Café.
For the post-war generation growing up during the swinging sixties and rolling seventies, Polar Café was the place for lazy afternoon high teas or rendezvous with sweethearts before the movies. Its unmistakable milkshake bar décor was simple, yet charming and nostalgic.
Today, the old Polar Café is long gone, but its popularity and good name lives on as Polar Puffs & Cakes, delivering its unique brand of puffs and cakes to a new generation.
What's the secret of Polar's sweet success?
It's the age-old ingredients of faith, hope, courage and love. A remark- able journey of an old rags to riches family business tottering on closure, saved at the eleventh hour. A timid heiress and teacher turned unlikely entrepreneur who overcomes all odds in love, life and business. Unexpected late marriage, improbable motherhood and personal tragedy.
A saga of an enchanting era now lost forever... of faded photographs and cherished memories. A celebration of life's bittersweet experiences that always ends in triumph!
