707's 'THE AMAZING (DELIVERY) RACE'

Here at 707 we order a lot of delivery food. A LOT. Every. Single. Day. So we thought we should use our constant craving for fast food to benefit you, our loyal readers.

So, next week we will be starting 707's "THE AMAZING DELIVERY RACE" (tm). You want to know which delivery service is the fastest? Smartest? Tastiest? Best-dressed? Funniest? We'll challenge them to compete against each other on all these fronts. Each round will have at least two competitors until there is only one left, who will receive the prestigious accolade of being the ULTIMATE DELIVERY CHAMPION!

Round 1 will be a fight to the finish between two of the greatest fast food heavyweights of all time;

McDonalds vs. KFC.

Don't miss it. Check back next week.

ALEXANDER McQUEEN FOR PUMA.

Puma's collab with Brit bad-boy designer Alexander McQueen has just been unveiled. This is Puma's most exclusive range yet, only for sale in a few select boutiques worldwide, including Beams (Tokyo), Fred Segal (LA), Bergdorf Goodman (NYC) and... 707 (Jakarta!). The range is inspired by the human body, with details that look like bones and even a clear sole with a mold of AMcQ's foot visible inside. The unique logo is a blend of the bodies of a human and a puma. Although not a range for hardcore old-school sneaker heads, this definitely has to be seen and appreciated for AMcQ's creative vision.

Right now we only have sample pairs for display, but our stock will be arriving in a couple of weeks. You know the drill. Limited stocks. Reserve early.

SINGAPORE.

Singapore is probably the only city in the world that has such a reputation for cleanliness that a mess like this becomes photo-worthy. I've been in restaurants in Jakarta that looked worse.

Had to post this view from the balcony of our friend's apartment where we were staying. Must be one of the best 180 degree views in the city - from Raffles Place & Suntec, past the Esplanade, government buildings, Boat Quay and up to the biz district. Check the hundreds of oil tankers and container ships in the background if you want to know why never to get in the water at a Singapore beach...
