SINGAPORE — Felicia Chin and Sora Ma are now officially cafe owners, in addition to their day jobs as MediaCorp artistes.
They have joined forces to set up The Mama Shop, a retro-themed space in the former Police Operational Headquarters at 195 Pearl’s Hill Terrace. The cafe serves up burgers, waffles and old-school drinks like iced kopi and sparkling limau.
The Mama Shop’s opening ceremony was held on Monday night, complete with a festive lion dance and celebrity guests including Pierre Png, Jesseca Liu, Dennis Chew, Michelle Chong, Pornsak, and Zheng Geping and family.
“It’s a small start but I think it’s a place for friends and to meet new people,” Chin said. “It’s called Mama Shop because there’s a personal touch to it — it’s not pretentious. I chanced upon this location and I thought it’s away from everybody else. It’s like a personal kind of private area for your friends and it’s quite quiet; it’s not amongst the crowds. Sometimes, good things have to be looked for.”
The business has been a personal effort for both Chin and Ma, both 30. “When it comes to acting, you only need to make sure your scenes are done well,” said Ma. “But when it comes to business, there are a lot of things you have to know. Felicia and I are in charge of marketing and PR but we have to know, for example, where the food comes from and how to pair it. Everything on the menu, we’ve experimented with more than ten times.”
She added: “It feels like I’ve been promoted!”
