Reeves in a Thai Restaurant

Photo: Singapore, 2019, and finding Keanu Reeves on a wall in a Thai restaurant in Purvis
I think the greatest thing about finding a portrait of Keanu Reeves at First Thai in central Singapore is how everyone around is non-plussed by it. But then you look around the place more closely and realize that there's nothing particularly Thai about the memorabilia other than the odd Thai record or portrait. You get all the "Thai" infusion you need from the food, anyway.
Elvis memorabilia on the wall at First Thai, with signs indicating that this is not a Michelin star restaurant (in addition to no reservations and no choping seats).
The food, by the way, is really good despite the insistence that the place (as seen in the signs above) is "not a 5 star Michelin restaurant."

Update 2023: Unfortunately, due to COVID regulations, this restaurant has sadly closed. I really want to know what happened to that Keanu Reeves portrait.
