..various Japanese restaurants and izakayas found at Hong Leong Gardens. That whole building has been demolished and a new condo/mall is built in its place.
En-bloc, same fate as nearby condos. Also had a small pet shop, cafe then. Across AYE, couple of nice smallish restaurants (including a mexican) and grocer in Faber Gardens. Lost business when semi-express way was converted to AYE (no u-turn access after). Surburban nostalgia

Sizzler's.

At least Tony Roma's, one of the older restaurants, is still in existence.

Though I believe the quality of the food has deteriorated.

Was Szizzler at the basement of Junction 8??, the other one was PONDEROSA, love the food there...

High rental is not PAP's fault? Who are the main developers and REITs in SG?

I used to bring my girlfriend there to raba during secondary school days.

I was too young to rabba then... cock hair hadn't grown yet. :o

What I remember was that it was around Christmas time, Wisma and Metro were handing out these helium filled balloons. I took a couple of the balloons and went up to the playground.
