About
51 High Street
Long before other brands of coffee shops and café, 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 pace for lazy afternoon high teas or rendezvous with sweethearts before the movies. Its unmistakable milkshake bar decor 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.
A remarkable journey of an old rags to riches family business tottering on closure, saved at the eleventh hour. A teacher turned unlikely entrepreneur who overcomes all odds in love, life, and business. Unexpected late marriage, improbable motherhood, and personal tradegy.
A sage of an enchanting era now lost forever… of fadded photographs and cherished memories. A celebration of life’s bittersweet experiences that always ends in triumph! ===============================================
