The countdown has begun for the launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission around the moon.

WHY HE OPENED A SALAD BAR PREVIOUSLY After leaving Buta God in 2014, Kanaya worked across different Japanese concepts over the next few years – including Eat at Seven at Suntec City, and Tempura TenTen at Raffles City. When those businesses eventually shuttered, Kanaya decided it was time to strike out on his own. While ramen was the obvious choice, he opted instead to open a Japanese-inspired salad shop, feeling it would be easier to manage as a solo operator. Kanaya launched Oh Some Bowls at Wilkie Edge in 2018, running the business largely by himself for seven years, until the building’s …
