I saw plenty of maid agencies there. Must be 6+ maid agencies there
Yesterday I visited the 112 Katong Mall for the 1st time. I realised that I had previously visited the place 10+ years ago & got my fridge from a store at the basement. They must have done a major renovation because the building was different from what I had visited 12+ years ago. I can't remember the name of the store:o
Can anyone remember the electrical appliance store that was originally located there
A condominium now stand where Tay Ban Guan used to be, used to be one of the few SHOPPING CENTRE in the past, where there are multi shops on every floor, selling all sorts of things, kind of an individuality feel; not like mall these days, you see one, you see all. They have the same boring tenants & all the "usual suspects".
Have fond memories of Tay Ban Guan, though I don't live around Katong area, family used to shop there in the past & eat around there too. There was a mama shop that sells magazines, newspapers, when I was young I would go & visit & buy ANNUALS...for example Beano etc... & until recent decade would visit there & buy aquarium fishes from the small aquarium shop at the entrance.
The only thing I remember of Katong 112 was that furniture shop, the mags discount shop & was there a Malay shop selling food that was tasty & authentic at the basement...that drew me there, other than that I didn't explore the rest of the place.
He later had to move to Marine Parade unfortunately it was a smaller place:(
People's Park....there was a shop I still have clear memory that was near where Majestic Cinema side entrance, near to the side back lane where there where food stalls, towards the entrance of old OG...was a shop selling Commodore ( spell right) computer & console & Sinclair devices....& Apple! more of Commodore..then, it moved into OG & later disappeared...
SL Tower was the place to get electronic parts , resistors, transistors, PCB Boards etc..., those where the days of "hunting"...much more fun but tiring, rather than the boring days of today....buying on-line & waiting for the order to arrive..
If you wanted a ready built one it would cost $$$.
