Re: Birkhall, Queenstown, Hua Yi, Margaret Drive Primary Schools alumni fall in here

Pii Narong I believe the cakeshop name sounded something like Mont d'or.

Oh ?, never know that GoLden Crown stiLL exist though.CertainLy i remembered that oLd fashioned cake shop..
..the demise of the Hawker centre is the saddest.Corner stall fishbaLL noodLes was great, cheng tng sedap, and up the 2nd floor was the famous chicken rice, aLso the Shanghainese food on the row behind..

The arched market is still around right? Think is furniture showroom now.

Yo, arched market building around ..missed that hand made popiah skin stall (order in kgs, as painstakingly done 1 by 1 with flip of hands). Popiah stall in former hawker center was also ok, and affordable. And the popular vegetarian stall in recent years, think moved to Alexandra village (if not mistaken).

Corner white kopi stall (towards Margaret drive end) with grouchy lady owner but shiok choice of latte from machine -also moved to Alexandra village. Good toast too.

I not queens town alumni, and never saw your names in roll of honour in Queenstown Sec leh... (for good reason?):p

Re: Queenstown Cinema Complex

Very old. That was ... started in the 50s ? 60s to 70s ? Was it even active in the 80s ? I think by the 90s this place had already slowed down quite a lot - an old estate with many old folks by then.

Wow this building is still standing today going to undergo redevelopment

Recall the lor ark noodles stall, but not into ducks (oops, pardon pun). So never spied his pints.:p

Fish ball noodles inside former hawker centre popular but tastes plenty msg. Guy with gold thick gold necklace, had a heart op, then got his young son to do the noodles (he only collect money and directs show). Just outside corner stall (facing arched market) a better bet. Prices then was reasonable, 2 bucks.

His business somehow was quite good; perhaps due to the short shorts ?..

Day time not a lot of biz but evening time quite good. Mainly the church goers. There are a few mobile tables (actually illegal) for the smoking customers just outside the drink stall centre. The stall only sell Carslberg and no Tiger/Heineken. I remember one Ah Pek fxxked a church goer for making the 'very smelly' (fanning her hands in front of her nose) when she and her gang sat at the smoker's area.
