Creating a home of beauty takes time 20 years in the case of Betty Ng’s apartment in East Coast, Singapore.
The Ginger Modern Asian Bistro owner got a first glimpse inside the apartment she now calls home in 2001.
“I was attracted to its high ceiling of more than 3.5 meters and its spiral emergency backstairs, which brought back childhood memories. My aunt’s family used to live in one of these apartments which I visited often when I had play dates with my cousins,” said Ng, who grew up in Singapore until 1987 when she began a life outside her country.
