In an odd twist of fate, nearly 100ha of an Otokia dairy farm now looks like a little piece of the drought-stricken Australian Outback - not because of a lack of water, but because there has been too much of it.
Farm owner James Adam said recent flooding on the Taieri left many of his paddocks under water.
But, this promises to be different, located at the rather ‘happening’ Bukit Merah area (and I can imagine a few other websites – the usual suspects, writing about this place soon.)
This café is located at The Mill. Where?
The Mill is a neo-gothic building at Jalan Kilang (kind of near ABC Brickworks Food Centre).
It has been described as an “amalgamation of post-industrial American architectural influences, cast alongside a fortified Gothic tower, and rooted in industrial Singapore.”
A twin-tower that is 45 metres high, dark, alluring, eye-catching, which some may describe as “the Batman building”.
If the gothic design reminds of Parkview Square, that is because they both share the same architect – American James Adam.
