Queenstown Today
- Thread starter Froggy
- Start date
I found some pics on Queenstown from this blog http://myqueenstown.blogspot.com/2010/10/xxx-restricted-access-myqueenstown-3.html
Stirling Road was 12 floor/storey.........made famous by Eric Khoo's movie 12 storey
Forfar House (SIT Flat) was known as Chap Si Lao and flats surrounding it were 7 storey.
1st HDB satellite town comprising Commonwealth and Tanglin Halt were built in the 60's.

Are you refering to the 新路？fishball noodle. The boss who wear a big gold bracelet on the ground floor of hawker centre?
Even though I'm a East side boy but I got a soft spot for Margaret Drive.. Years back I used to go to the Prison staff quarters to meet up with my friend who stays there since his dad was an ASP at the Old QRP.. I remembered Queenstown for its laidback charrm and its good food.. 8 years ago, when I was courting this lady, I used to fetch her from the old SEAB building at Margaret Drive.. I would wait for her at the Queenstown MRT bus stop and then we would go for dinner at the coffeshop under the old blocks.. And of course Queensway shopping centre.. One of my favourite places to chill out when skipping from school...
Stinkapore where got picturesque? I can only find picturesque scenes in UK countryside.
On other side of coin, also see new high rise condos, HDBs in neighborhood over recent years. Strathmore is no longer with low rise 3/4 storey old public housing flats.
And there's new Alexandra canal park parallel to Margaret Drive, all the way to River Valley. Quite scenic, good for jogging and cycling. Maybe thread starter can go paktor there too
Nostalgia includes old golf driving range (next to prison) and some sports club there in more recent times (think kena caught with some short lived sexy coyotes show as some1 blew whistle kns). Prison had some notable inmates, MCA politician Tan K Swan and Christopher Lee (drunk driving). Not sure if the library still open, with cafe ironically named Galilee (with churches nearby)
And bit further on, it's also becoming Singapore's 'Detroit' with new car showrooms. Euro styled Merc showroom is one. Opposite Ikea, you have old Anchorage (many freebie beer parties courtesy Tiger Beer brewery) now surbarban mall and condo. Original small building still there but now Jap restaurant (after Tung Lok's another what's it's name restaurant).
Old cinema building also housed a KTV before, anybody tried?

Ok Great News Found Shanghai Dumpling from the fishball noodle shop (Hup Kee) its at the same place in Mei Ling Street Market on 2nd floor. Go go go they told me its open at this time right now.
Ya, it was 14 floor, not 7 floor.
You're welcome michael_368. Blk 6C I think all the kids will not forget because go there to buy school books from Pacific and Radiant bookstores. Also go there to make spectacles.
Hmm I think its not steel mill la Narong I think you're refering tothe aluminium factory. You noticed that Chung Khiaw bank staff seem to work there forever and knows every customer by surnames. Mom used to have a safe deposit box there.
Yes first floor corner store Hup Kee front is carpark.
YES! In the past many illegal push stalls ourside Venus and Golden City cinemas. Love to go midnight shows on Saturdays.
Alright! The fountain. Before there are no road junctions only circles, the one at Tanglin Halt is I think Princess Circle and the one with Alexandra Road is Queens Circle or could the the other way around. During National Day sure got decorations and lights in the circles.
The hawker centre is part of the Chap-Si-Lao market I believe and the Lor-Ark (braised duck) noodle is very good. The community centre I thing is has a cooperative and all Q'town people goes there to buy rice.

Oh yes the KFC youth123, used to have many dates with my late wife there. hmmmmmmmm sweet memories
The guy with the gold chain is the one inside the hawker centre not the Hup Kee that we are referring to which is on the outside row.
