What it should have been

One discovery of note that I made while visiting a friend in Melbourne over the past several days is this: I made a grievous mistake with this post on Aug 8 about the nasty behaviour of some shoppers.

Sophie’s new green pasture

Talk about making money hand over fist. That’s what Sophie’s “New Green Pasture Cafe” on the 4th floor of Fortune Centre seems to be doing.
It’s a tiny little place with a wall of shelves, a counter behind which Sophie n helpers do the cooking and about three tables. The room is smaller than a HDB [...]
