I had just walked out of the Delifrance with a sandwich in my hand when one of two Chinese men in Bermudas and t-shirt and sneakers and crew cut and a bit of a tan, both middle aged, asked me in Mandarin (Northern Chinese accent) where is "bai sheng lou". Guessing that they meant Park Lane I told them to follow the road right at the junction (Selegie Road) and walk about 200 to 300 metres. I also told them it was on the opposite side of the road. They thanked me and hurried off.
(Postscript: I googled "bai sheng lou" later and found out that it was the Chinese name for Bras Basah Complex. So looks like I completely screwed up the instructions!)
