Carom was played with a stick? That's is so special. This was once a poor man's billard game?

Nice Meh

I kind of miss the pre-RWS, pre-Universal Studios Sentosa, back when the monorail and ferry terminal are still in operation:

1) After the mid-late 1990s, with all those lame attractions e.g. Fantasy Island, Volcanoland.

2) Before the mid-late 1990s, without the golf courses, island entrance fees and that big merlion statue.

I dono lah. But, got people say SENTOSA means So Expensive Nothing TO See Actually.

Re: Things Have Changed

Everyone still remembered those days when you are hungry at home. There was no place to go makan but only eat bread, buscuit and Milo hot drink. So it is a godsend when a mobile hawker selling curry pok or soon kueh walk past your door step.

My downstair neighbour make curry pok and soon kueh for a living. I was a mobile food peddler for them. Everyday after school, we will get the cane basket loaded up with curry poks or soon kuehs and go around every household nearby to sell. Every piece sell for 20-30 cents and get to earn 5 cents to 7 cents. The food usually finished very fast after a few blocks. We can go back to top-up and sell again if we have the time. Can you imagine each day get to earn $5- $10 is a very big deal for a school boy like me.

So If you are staying around Tiong Bahru, Bukit Ho Swee area. Ever patronised such mobile food peddler boy shouting "Bui Shui A Curry Pok" during the '70. Most likely you have met me.

Re: Things Have Changed

I live in that area and maybe I have met you before. I still remember my neighbor selling delicious soup noodles at the staircase, the 2 kids peddling fish balls and an old uncle selling ice cream in a small tin container. There was this man on bicycle selling "Wua Kuei" for just $0.10 a piece and the indian kachang puteh man carrying the box of containers on his head

Nowadays, we are so conscious about hygiene that I don't even dare to eat the curry puff sold at the roadside

The full name is Wah Ko Kuey.....last time people like to curse 'simi wah ko'....derived from this dish..
It's a bigger version of chwee kuey with more ingredients like chai poh, mushrooms, dried shrimps, lap cheong....even salted egg yolk....now extinct.
