The first time I tried Nam Nam in Suntec was last year, Oct 29th. I remember the date because this was my first day back in Singapore after leaving the country for about 16 months.
I wasn't planning to go back to Singapore to work, perhaps hoping, but not planning.. but then one day I got a call from my previous boss, offering me a contractual post to cover for a colleague who was going on maternity leave. In Singapore, maternity leave for most banks is 4 months.
Since it was a private bank, naturally they wanted someone who already knows the work and who's already familiar with the existing client base.
When I got the call, I got all excited. I was already working as a Branch Manager with an international bank then (tales about my 6-month stint as BM to follow on a different post), but I was all too willing to resign and go back to my second home (I consider Singapore as my second home. Yep, the whole country is my second home). I just needed my husband's permission.
Well, he must've seen the sparkle in my eyes when I was telling him about the offer, and so he practically had no choice but to allow me to go..it was just for a 4 month contract anyway (In the end, I was gone for 6 months *covers face in wifely shame*).
So anyway, I got offloaded on my original flight and was only able to fly off the next day (Oct 29). On the said date, I went to Millenia Walk where my friend is working. She has a car and lives near the condo where I'll be staying during my short Singapore stint. I went there, left my luggage and went to Suntec while she finishes her work.. We later on met for dinner before heading home..
On the months that followed, I tried their baguette.. It was also okay, quite good actually... but I still prefer Baguette's grilled pork. Now that one is really yummy!
