It'd been so long since we last met as I was caught up in a whirlpool of assignments and examinations, I had absolutely no social life for the longest time. I could finally catch my breather and hang out with my happy pill, even if it was a short date. I've been hearing about the movie title from the longest time from people around me who have caught the title. So, when the friend mentioned about catching the movie, I was all hands for it. We struggled a little with the movie title when we were buying tickets but finally figured that sounding confident was the way to go. (hahaha)
Watching a film set in the 1960s at GV Katong seems like the most apt place to be. The Grand Budapest is a British-German comedy set in the early days. And as its very title suggest, it tells the history and story of the hotel. A very refreshing take and unconventional filming techniques compared to mainstream movies. I really enjoyed the how indirect the film was and it kind of reminded me of the movie "a series of unfortunate events".
We decided to go for a quick munch after movies and so we strolled down the streets of Katong, looking for a nice place to have some snacks and drinks. Eventually, we ended up at Chin Mee Chin. The old retro coffeeshop that was so complimenting with the 18th century ambience we were so absorbed in the entire afternoon, we had to eat in there. I only had a teh and I thought it was quite adhering to my taste buds. I would love to go back for some pastries the next time.
