If one could remember the hawker stalls facing the Singapore River, the ones outside the old NRIC Office ( now some Asian Musem), first the Char Kway Teow stall, the 'yong tau foo' stall, that starts at 11am and finishes at 2.20pm daily, you have to wait half and hour for your food.
Then by the river, back of Chartered Bank( then later SCB), you have the row of stalls, you have the lovely the wanton mee, the Indian muslim food stalls, the Malay Food Stalls ( real Malay Food, not like today), the je char stall, kam chia juice, fruit juice stall..(sugar cane)..etc.. so many yummy ones..
then over to Golden Shoe Carpark....second floor, the fish ball noodle,( still around, serve by a effeminate man), good stuf, I mean the food, the Indian nasi lemak... started by this Indian man,the orginal with the choice of deep fried chicken wing/drumstick, fried egg or boiled egg, white lemak nasi or the pandan flavoured one, etc., all for $2.50 ( Punggol Nasi Lemak is an imitator), unfortunately the stall owner died of a sudden heart attack, then the quality just went out of the door, and now, there are plenty of "ORIGINALS" around....then the seafood soup stall, the one with the clear fish soup with a medium size prawn with rice, old man starts at 11am, by 2,30pm.....then to the third floor, we have the Indian Mee Siam stall, by the Indian man, the same type of Indian that sells bread on a bicycle,..a bowl of mee siam with an egg ontop plus one tau gua, and no hum...ha ha ha $1.40 only, you will so filled, no dinner is required.
Golden Shoe Carpark..Han's...good food, & their second or first shop at the Arcade...good fish & chips..
Malacca Street..long house...the famous po piah...and my once a week, vegetarian day...eat at Muruga's Vegstarian Resturant, where the serve you food on banana leaf, rice comes in a bucket, and papadum...
