n case you’re checking your newspaper listings for the show ‘Knights of the Round Table’, don’t bother - unless you’ve got a copy of the newspaper from 1954.
Bits of the façade (not easy to see here under all that "Knights of the Round Table"
decoration!) are still there in a new 2006 building
Cathay building stood on the site of an old bakery and Victorian building managed by Teo Ho Lye and Louis Moulteni from Poland.
Moulteni came to Singapore in the 1880s and started his confectionery.
The Victoria building was demolished in 1934 and the land sold to the Loke family.
Yangon is an inexhaustible treasure vault of culture and history.
It greets the pedestrian with a neglected sort of decadence on every block;
arcane to the untrained eye, yet illustrious all the same.
With each turn of every corner, the sight of intrigue pierces through your thoughts like a
bolt of cerebral lighting.
