Is the one in Singapore also designed by the same architect Berthel Michael Iversen from Denmark? He designed most of the cinemas in Ipoh.Ipohgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334848611018738412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108630126700411599.post-24356236798343264282011-10-06T23:52:13.696+08:002011-10-06T23:52:13.696+08:00Mr Lim, you're right.

The "Old Chang Kee" curry-puff was claimed to be the same traditional recipe from one of the original stall.

I think the "sensurround" and "cinemaramascope" filming technology is now outdated. The younger generations will not have a chance to know the movie watching experience in the 1960s of their parents and grandparents...just as the experiences of our great, great grandparents to watch black and white silent movies in the 1900s.Thimbuktuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495581875211093357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108630126700411599.post-81465372796101733882011-10-05T22:57:36.663+08:002011-10-05T22:57:36.663+08:00I have seen many movies here.

Watching film show in REX was quite expensive and could cost up to $2.50 and $3, possibly because of the 70mm wide screen projection. <br /><br />In comparison, the third tier cinemas like Orient in China Town would only cost $1 to $1.50........https://www.blogger.com/profile/06584661018093389655noreply@blogger.com
