SINGAPORE -- Central Perk SG, Singapore's latest themed cafe, revealed its S$1,000 ($720) membership fee in a Facebook post on Tuesday night.

The cafe is modelled after the popular sitcom Friends, and has drawn much interest since news of it opening here broke early this year.

According to the cafe, this is what the membership can get you:
