"Park Mall to shut at end of September. Building will be demolished to make way for two office blocks and a retail component."
This brings an end to another long-cherished memory from way back then.
In the 1970s, when I was young, my mum used to take me there. Back then it was called Supreme House and Metro was the anchor tenant. What took us there was Skillets Coffee House. It was a privilege back then to eat in a coffee house so it was such a treat every time my mum brought me there.
It was then at the corner of Supreme House, on the left. It had a circular section and there were seats along the curved wall with windows.
I remember one time we were there, just me and my mum. One of the dishes we ordered was sweet and sour pork. We were happily eating away until towards the end when we saw a cockcroach in the food! Well, that did not stop us from going there.
When I was older, I continued going there with my friends. The cake there was pertty good too. For birthdays, we ordered our cakes from there. My sister's 21st and my 16th birthday cakes were from there.
Skillets Coffee House later changed its name to Silver Spoon. If my memory serves me right, the name change was due to a family feud and whoever took over Skillets Coffee House changed the name.
Well, there goes another building that holds dear memories for me....At least the building lasted longer than the coffee house which was long gone.
