during the 80's , I was selling flowers at Tiong Bahru market.

Wow, I was here when postnew spoke.
Must be less than 5 times in four and a half years.
The last time you told me "Fish as long as fresh is ok."
Looking forward to more posts bro.

My memory of Tiong Bahru market/hawker center is split into two eras: before Tiong Bahru Plaza, and after Tiong Bahru Plaza.

Used to walk to the market for supper after watching a movie at Tiong Bahru Plaza.

those were the childhood day.1980 ......
the lor mee with shark meat was really wonderful

anyone got old precious photo of 1980 toys and tibits and of cos old tiong bahru market?

If you have not taken any photo shots during those time, can maybe try the national archives. If no one upload anything means 'boh bian' but vague memory of that place. Singapo is like that. Wait for no man.
