Besides their busy acting careers, the 2 Mediacorp actresses are now officially "towkays". The pair are both 30 years of age (Year 2014)

Cleverly coined "The Mama Shop", the local eatery's name will bring back memories for those who used to frequent their neighborhood all-in-one shop that housed candy, tikum, newpapers, magazines, basic groceries, bric-a-brac.

Therefore it comes has no surprise that the cafe has a laidback, retro theme. Old school lounge chair and metal thin cookie boxes adorn the shop, bringing about a feel-good, yesteryear vibe.

Location:
The Mama Shop, 195 Pearl’s Hill Terrace
+65 9168 2258

Here's a quick look at the local media coverage of their shop's opening:

"Items on the menu are priced from $3.90 to $14.90 and include burgers and Malaysian-style drinks such as sparkling Limau, a lime juice drink which Chin fell in love with while filming in Ipoh and Penang..."

"They spent a low five-figure sum to start the venture, reports The Straits Times. Chin, 30, said: "We feel that it's a catchy name that can evoke happy childhood memories."

""Some friends ask why we chose this 'god-forsaken' place, as they call it, but we believe people will travel for the food and ambience," she said with a laugh."

It doesn't get more retro than this: Green Spot non-carbonated orange drink that was popular in from the 50s onwards. Have you tried this before? It's a rare find! #themamashop #mamashop #themamashopsg
