Are you guys in your 70s or 80s ? I never heard of such restaurants

yes the average forummer age is 60-80, if u are 50 means u are young, 40 means u are still a baby, and if u are 30 means u are underaged and u shldnt even be here

@glockman and moi are the oldest, 82 and 71 respectively

Remember this famous Union Farm Chee Pow Kai in Upper Bukit Timah ?

This was at Clementi Road, north of the road entering Maju Camp and south of Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

The restaurant was vacant for quite some time, but wasn't demolished until some time last year (2019).

Now it's 'Far East Flora', some flower and plant shop.

Not far away, there was also a restaurant (BBQ seafood and zichar) next to the Ulu Pandan canal at the junction of Ulu Pandan Road and Clementi Road. Thanks to Lee Hsien Loong, these vintage eateries are gone.

You can go to Google Maps Street View and adjust the timeline, usually Google has taken photographs of the place before it was demolished.

i couldn't recall many places I had thus eaten nor the locations since it was decades ago, but Beefeaters had prominent poster of Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and that still stuck in my mind
