For Mr Daniel Neo, a NUSS member of over 30 years, the Kent Ridge Guild House isn’t just a clubhouse —it’s woven into the fabric of his family’s story. Planning his daughter Cheyenne’s engagement party was an obvious choice.
“It had to be Café on the Ridge,” Daniel stated. “It’s more than a restaurant to us — it’s where Cheyenne spent much of her childhood. Celebrating this new chapter of her life here felt natural. It’s a place filled with memories, and now we’re creating new ones with our extended family and friends.”
Cheyenne was introduced to NUSS before she could even read a menu. Daniel fondly recalls Sunday afternoons at the Kent Ridge Guild House, where she would splash about in the wading pool, pretending to swim.
“Her little hands and feet mimicked the breaststroke in water that never rose above her chest,” Daniel reminisces. “Afterwards, we’d have lunch at the café with her grandmother and our helper — it became our weekly tradition.”
As she grew, so did her love for cooking, with favourites like pastas, meatballs, chawanmushi, and soups. Her refined palate and eye for quality kept her returning to Café on the Ridge.
“She always tells everyone how consistently good the food is here — from local to Western, Korean to Indian,” Daniel shares. “There’s something for everyone, and that mattered to her.”
