What happened to Jackies bowl? Is it still there? I remember I used to walk there to play at the arcade inside. The operator even allowed us in even if we were wearing school uniform.

Demolished many years ago. The site is now occupied by Ocean Park Condo.

The late Dr Wong Kum Hoong stayed in Woo Mun Chew Road , he worked right till his last day in August 2009,
attending to patients in the morning and then going back for his regular routine of lunch and a nap before passing away suddenly.​

Only the eldest son (the one with pony tail) can cook. Many years back, by chance, he was manning the stall. The mee tasted so different and good for once. Stop going since they employed ah tiongs to run the stall.
