Lunch at Moutarde

My good friend Krist Boo, who has just moved to RWS, organized lunch on Thursday at Moutarde, a newly opened french restaurant there.

I have known Krist since early 2000s, when we were both NWCDC councillors. She dropped out after a while when she left ST to join the private sector.

We have stayed in touch and we meet regularly to discuss local affairs over lunch.

This time she wanted me to meet her 3 other friends, whom she regularly meets over a meal.

One is a sociologist, another a telecoms consultant and the last one is in the government.

All of them are bright and well educated. We chatted on so many topics. The developments in AI and it’s impact on the economy and jobs; Singapore’s rate and extent of AI adoption and what it will take for companies here to truly embrace AI; the education system in Singapore and the effect of a good branded school on a child’s future prospects; the nuances of what was presented in the Albatross Files.

Unfortunately I think I spoke more than I wanted to because the topics were so close to my heart.

Wonderful conversation but I cannot say the same for the food. Perhaps it will take some time for them to improve their offerings and their service as they have just opened.
