...Then Ford takes over with her menthol-smooth voice, multiplied into three-part harmony by Paul's studio gizmonics. She coos, "Somewhere there's mu-u-u-sic," coaxing four syllables out of the word by gliding over them rather than hiccuping through them. She wants the listener to know this is an up-tempo love song, not a stuttering novelty.

Chef Ooi presides over Cassia, a modern Chinese affair that offers dressy lunches and dinners to complement the all-day dining at the Knolls. Sybaritic pleasures can also be enjoyed at the Auriga spa, where treatments are timed according to the phases of the moon.
