All photos taken from MRT train,

Tah ChunOng Departmental Store bus-stop. Behind the green space used to be Tah Chung and further is what used to be the food centre. See the road behing the bus-stop? Used to be carpark of TAH Chung.

2-Storey market, see behind building is the Q'town Polyclinic. Van driving on same carpark drive way from Tah Chung.

Q'town Cinema & Bowl, NTUC is gone, blk 39A (bird shop) is gone. Now could see Q'town library clearly. Strange why cidnema still don't tear down.

My uncle rented bicycles under a banyan tree.... are u the bastards stole my bike?

Burnt beehoon - another once of my favourite there

Black tofu seafood

Green chili crab - 1.4kg

Crab fried rice

Had a great time with great food there

One of the mornings went to Tiong Bahru market for the famous lormee and jweekueh

Love this lormee

Jweekueh

Then there is this curry rice shop

Long queue

Best

 

[Froggy]

Whenever I visit Singapore I will never fail to have roti-prata at Tanglin Halt Market

For me this is perfect breakfast

Another breakfast I like is lormee and carrot cake there

 

[Froggy]

Before leaving Singapore I also have to visit this chicken rice stall, my favourite.

Located at Block 40 Holland Drive

Lunch

Delicious chicken cooked just right so juicy

Boiled beans sprouts

Vegetables with oyster sauce

Margaret Drive Hawker Centre is one of the newest food centres in Singapore opened on August the 1st last year however most of the stalls are really old like over 30 years old most moved from Tanglin Halt Food Centre about 1.2km away.

This new Margaret Drive Hawker Centre is located beside the old Margaret Drive Market, built in 1960 or 63 years ago it is now being conserved.

This is the old Margaret Drive Market now refurbished

The brand new Margaret Drive Hawker Centre, a 2 storeys food centre

Stalls on the ground floor, I took photos of some of the popular stalls from Tanglin Halt

I've been having desserts from this stall since in secondary school meaning this stall is more than 40 years old

Always have a queue at this stall

Going upstairs

Great wanton noodles

The legendary Hakka thunder tea

This was what I came for, my favourite vegetarian beehoon

My breakfast still very good

First time I see this with conveyor

I heard from my friend that there is a new branch of the Old Airport Road Food Centre's lormee at Holland Drive block 43 coffeeshop. I always like this Old Airport Road lormee so I went to try.

The coffeeshop

The stall

The prices and choices

My breakfast: lormee S$8 and kopiO S$1.20

Pretty ya

My verdict is this is very nice too

I'm surprised you didn't go to the Queenstown Library, another vintage building that has been conserved.

If you want a fantastic panoramic view, go to the roof garden of Skyville @ Dawson.

If you are adventurous enough, you can walk/cycle from Margaret Drive to Dempsey Hill. Find the open air carpark near a couple of churches, opposite Queensway Secondary School. The footpath leads you north to Ridout Road, then Peirce Road. Take a shortcut through the dirt path to the Dempsey Hill durian seller, and from there Dempsey Hill's eateries and pubs are nearby.

Being a NewTowner all that you described in your last paragraph brings back sweet memories. That durian seller Ah Tee (used to be at the carpark below) is the one I frequent.

Thanks

If you didn't mention I didn't realise. Thanks. You are correct. The only shopping there is is probably Queensway hahahaha.
