IF YOU'RE OF a certain vintage, you no doubt have happy childhood memories of milkshakes and ice cream at Magnolia Snack Bar.
Opening first in 1937 as the Creameries Milk Bar in Capitol building, it was a popular destination for pre and post-movie bites. It later became the Magnolia Snack Bar, and in its heyday, there were about 20 branches across Singapore.
Magnolia Snack Bar at Capitol Theatre closed in 1988, when the Urban Redevelopment Authority wanted to redevelop the area.
