i wonder if the man selling mouth watering Char koay teow in Block A still selling his stuff. His stuff used to be so heavenly!
ReplyDeleteYes,I remember Block A ground floor Char Koay Teow. Long time ago, the owner must be an old man now. I did not check it out. The char koay teow at the hawker center is good,provide you ask him to fry plate by plate.
ReplyDeleteI remember there were several blocks of 4-storey flats near the terrace units.
ReplyDeleteNice n windy with birds eye view of the water catchment area half way down the hill
n off course the graveyard where many kites
compete with one another.
The water-catchment pool built by the British during WW2 feels like just below the big rock to the right of your pic(view of the cementery from the carpark).
