It is difficult to miss the neon blue ‘Hotel Soloha’ sign when walking along Teck Lim Road. Turn left at the sign and you will be welcomed with modern murals and more neon lights to a tropical-themed hotel. With the latest pop songs playing in the lobby, this hotel screams cool vibes for the modern urbanite!
Hotel Soloha boasts 45 chic and modern rooms with artisan furniture and forest-inspired artwork. The murals and paintings all over the hotel are done by local artists – Ethrisha Liaw and Danielle Tay respectively. This is in line with the hotel’s strong belief of supporting locals – by engaging local artists, displaying locally-made jewellery and knick-knacks, and a fridge filled with local beverages.
Different rooms include indigo blue wooden shutters and panel doors with a new concept behind each door. Each level also has different ‘spirit animals’ that is categorised by the many layers of the tropical forest like the snail for the first floor and the hornbill for the third floor. Keeping up with the theme, guests will be taken to the jungle when out of their room as each level plays cricket and animal sounds as well.

Scrambling After Eggs
Eggs are a huge part of our lives, and a large part of our lives with regards to cooking. At the same time, we tend to forget the importance of them, so ubiquitous in our lives that they then get ignored. We ask dessert creators, and chocolatiers to examine their relationship with eggs, and what would happen if eggs should, god forbid, fall out of our lives.

A Portrait Of The Chef As A Young Woman
To get a sense of Chef Aeron Choo’s work ethic as well as personality, we first have to tell the story of meeting her for the first time in her restaurant, Kappou Japanese Sushi Tapas Bar at Fortune Center. She’s working with her kitchen team, scrutinising the ingredients she has prepared, making sure that the slices of tuna she has made is up to scratch, prepping and discarding elements that she is dissatisfied with that don’t work with the dishes. Then, she pulls out a 1.7kg spiny lobster, fresh from the tank, and very much alive. When the lobster is clearly flailing from being yanked out of the tank it had been swimming in, she takes time to stroke, pet the lobster and whisper sweet nothings to calm the creature down.
