Dear all,


I have big and exciting news to share with you. Mei and I are opening a café. It’s called Orange & Teal and it’s at the Rochester Mall (see address below). We’ve been working on it for the past several months and it’s finally coming to fruition. 


It’s been a long-term dream of ours to have a place where Singaporeans come together to not just have a great meal or have that heart warming cuppa, but a place where we get together with our loved ones and friends and get to know each other all over again. A place where intelligent discussion, even impassioned debate, takes place. A place where the conversation’s even better. 


“Where the conversation’s even better” – I’ve got that engraved above the doorway. 


Unfortunately, we are unable to be halal-certified at the moment but we will not be serving pork, lard or pork-related items. So, we hope that our Muslim friends will be able to join us. We will, however, be serving wine and beer (our glassware for alcohol will be kept separate). 


To be perfectly honest, I’m not a businessman. I never was and I don’t think I will ever be. But I’ve always wanted to start a social enterprise of sorts to support causes close to my heart. I’ll talk about this including the vision of this venture another day. 


But I also recognise that in order to achieve this dream, the cafe must be viable as a business. This is where Mei and I hope that we’ll have your support. We hope you’ll share this excitement with us and tell everybody about the place. 


We’re set to open our doors to receive our first guests this Fri (25 Jun), opening hours are 11am to 10pm. We’ll provide more info in the coming days on the menu and prices. Please check back. 


We look forward to hosting you on Fri.
