Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:ya... my grandma used to have a little hawker stall there at the Lakeview hawker centre (not the one at the market) ...
and when i was young, I would wake up early (3 am) with her, to see her prepare her char bee hoon, her char mee, steam her chee cheong fun... then I'd wander around the entire neighbourhood that was in more or less complete darkness all alone...
Shops I remember there...
the Chye tao kway shop that used to serve its stuff on the 'kway hio'...
old porridge shop...
Bak kut teh
Kopitiam with auntie with curly hair.. (she always scolded me)
(btw quite a few of the stalls moved to Sim Min Drive Hawker)
Oh and i loved watching cockles open and close in the pail next to the old laksa shop
Were anyone of you bunch of kids who used to play there? I might know you... one of my best pals was the grandson of an old dentist who used to be there.
Anyone of you happen to be him?
Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:I can't remember... the name... strange dont remember the saga seeds.. exactly where is it? Which side of the hawker?
Only remember the big bottle brush tree right at the centre of the hawker centre .... the chye tao kway was at one end (nearer main road)... the laksa's shop was in the centre (got passage way) then its the fish ball noodle soup... then right at the other end is Prawn Mee stall.
Opposite hawker centre was a block where they had 2 restaurants downstairs... and my grandma lived upstairsit was horribly hot living over the kitchens!!!
Ah! I know its the side with the bak kut teh stall... and a bit further opposite0 is the 'tyre' shops... I was 'banned' from that side of the hawker centre (you notice I only mostly remember this side) cos.. of CAR PARK... CAR PARKS were my boundaries.. supposed to be cannot pass them when I was a kid...Originally posted by Kuali Baba:The trees were on the other side of the hawker centre, where the sugar cane stall was. That was a carpark too IIRC.
I'd never eaten at those restaurants.![]()

But i used to cross the huge car park at the 'back' of Thomson to go to the UDMC apartments there.. there's a big playground to play
Slide down the hill on cardboard boxes! The parents of the 'rich' kids always dont let me play with their kids one

I remember those days... when my family moved into Thomson Rise estate, there was only that one road leading into it Jalan Peminpin...Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:Yeah when it was left standing there like a ghost town for years... after my granny was forced to move.. then after that .. we didnt visit that area, one day I drove past w my grandma and saw it was flattened..she was very sad... all the memories just gone...
My grandma and mom lived there since the days it was called "hai nam suah"
what days were those?Originally posted by breytonhartge:I remember those days... when my family moved into Thomson Rise estate, there was only that one road leading into it Jalan Peminpin...
I was really sad when they flattened the place, all the yummy food all gone, used to go to lakeview very often for makan.
yeah, my childhood was in the late 70's and into the 1980's too...Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:what days were those?
My childhood was in 1980s....
A few of the stalls have moved to Sim Min Food Centre where they could barely survive thanks to a less than favourable location, a lot more expensive rental (compared to old stall rentals) - at least I know the kopitiam, the dessert/sugar cane stall, and the prawn noodles are there.
Cool! Afraid not... poh pia stall was from front or back of hawker.. i think it is back of hawker next to char kway teow right?Originally posted by breytonhartge:yeah, my childhood was in the late 70's and into the 1980's too...

I used to eye that pong-pong tree with suspicion after reading about how poisonous they are in my sister's textbook.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:And because...I just had to do this..
If the thing is not in the 'map'... its cos somehow in my childhood memory its not important! hahahha... let me know what I have missed out... notice i could only remember some 'important' shops in the rows.. somehow everything else is just hazy..
Sin Ming Food Centre is a tiny little hawker place behind Thomson CC now...Originally posted by Kuali Baba:It went to Shunfu Mart. It's still in business.
Unlike whatever takes up the space behind Hong Kong Street Chun Kee...it used to be a yard full of broken vehicles, then a hawker centre which didn't last (and nothing to remember it by except that the noodle stall was reported to be a branch of one in Johore). It's now a pile of rubble.
The name Sin Ming Food Centre doesn't ring a bell, unless you tell me where it's located...
I think you are much younger than me... so may not have witnessed.. err...Originally posted by Kuali Baba:I used to eye that pong-pong tree with suspicion after reading about how poisonous they are in my sister's textbook.![]()
