My two favorite childhood playgrounds were Wonderland @ Kallang and New World @ Jalan Besar.
The A&W and KFC outside on Mountbatten side were delicious too. Sigh, those were the days, thought they'd never end, but they did end, we grew up and moved on.
I remember the good old advert song that went...every Amco tells a story, every Amco tells a a story in style.
There was a a record store opposite Cost Plus. Original records and cassettes only, no pirates. They always posted and updated the Billboard charts every week on the wall. Me and schoolmates when passing by always went up there to check out what were the top ten songs and top ten albums of the week, then went to New World to buy from pirates.
2 Singapore icons The National Theatre and Van Cleef Aquarium, places I had been before they were torned down. National Theatre was the venue that hosted the Asean Cultural Show which fascinated me and Van Cleef was a place for kids to view exotic aquatic animals, a wonderful experience.
Nat Theatre was where the pop groups would perform when they came....eg rolling stones, tremeloes, middle of the road.
Nowadays they usually perform at the indoor stadium or expo venues.
I was too young to remember and stayed too far to attend those exciting events.
haha its ok bro....like some wise bro observed, one day you'll be telling something about today that those younger than you would have missed.
That's true bro.
My dad used to bring us out to eat at Rasa Singapura. The food was not too bad at all, although I cannot remember any outstanding dishes.
ha..thats another familiar name bro.
It was located behind Tanglin Mall.

One of the best dark carrot cake was in Rasa Singapura. The chap was middle aged, quiet and hardworking. His first stall was in Chinatown which he operated late in the night. When started in Rasa, he would continue with his original stall way past midnight.
He was murdered and believed to be due to money lending. Sad.
As a child I was often brought to the beach to play with the sand and I used to look out to the sea at Bedok. Memories of the picturesque kelongs on calm waters with the sun setting on the horizon as the background and the sound of the waves beating the shore, those were good memories.

I recall the stalls there were specially selected. Meaning, the best of the best food there only. I remember the goreng pisang stall, Lim Kee. Temasek Beer Gdn just next to it. Heard William Scorpion sang there.
