Your favourite haunt

[GoldenDragon]

Remembered it was caLLed Cook Road or Cook Street right ?..

Koek Rd and Cuppage Rd.

 

[zeddy]

Nightlife = Used to be Zouk, the pubs around Changi Village, the Geylang Lorongs,

Getaway = Short boat fishing trip around S'pore waters.. Shore fishing with my Mat kakis at Pulau Ubin, Changi Beach Club and the remote beaches near to the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.. All fishing activities usually held in the night..

Supper = 24 hr kopitiam besides Jalan Besar stadium, good Mama coffeeshops around the island, Al Ameen at Bukit Timah to oggle at the multi racial chicks chilling out there..

To enjoy the Teh Tarik in peace, away from the maddening crowd, would go to Mr Prata coffeeshop near to the Botanic Gardens.. Just love to sip the Teh Tarik and enjoy the fresh air of the surrounding greenery around place..

Koek Rd and Cuppage Rd.

Koek Road is probabLy right.Cuppage Road is behind the current Centre point..not sure though.

Yes, the balding Jepunese looking guy is running it.

Joker's memory very good. About 3-4 years ago, I makaned at the HC. My kawan told me noodles and fishball seepay ho. When it was my turn to place the order, balding chap remarked that I looked familiar. Then asked me if I used to hang around River Valley. Told him not River Valley but Tanglin. Rightaway, he told me I was his customer many years ago when he was selling at Orchard Rd carpark. Place my memory on recall and realised who he was. He was a handsome man in the late 60s and early 70s but now, a balding chap.

Ridley's at the old ANA Hotel opposite the now Tanglin Mall.
Rumours at Forum Galleria.
Brannigans at Hyatt Hotel.
Oasis for teochew porridge and Newton food ctr for Oyster omellette.

Ridleys was the place to be on tgifs then, at ANA (ex Sheraton then). Rumours was smack on the Orchard Rd strip, and my memory was funny loo signs (one with hankie or panty?:p)

Brannigans now Brix. And Oasis more of taiwan (than teochew) porridge, similar to Gold Leaf then.

Part of furniture at Devils Bar every tgif. Also learnt to imbibe red wine at La Chateau (basement of Specialist Centre) ...before moving on next door to disco/bar next door:p

Koek Street

Haha..dont forget, the pighead uses only the official PAP dictionary.

Haunt means to frequent. If haunt means past, then present day ghosts got no work except sleep at 8.

haunt = past? to be sure i checked the dictionary........the meaning of haunt...nothing to suggest that notion.

 

[kingrant]

I wld say there are not that many old beloved places one can frequent nowadays, as they have mostly been wiped out by the PAP to lease the land for get-rich-quick developers who under Khaw's sanction, fleece the minions without a blink.

Mine:

Siglap - the food row along Joo Chiat/ Katong mall (now I12).
Katong - the coffeeshop next to the chapel.

Guidu is Dynasty....now Dynasty Classic....at one time while still at Kallang....business slow (due to surrounding areas deserted)....they had to rent out hall space to oldies dancing classical dance.......damn weird hugging and rubba hostess in the ktv rooms and oldie couples dancing the waltz outside.

Apollo nightclub on the 19 floor........back then the annex building where Tiananmen and Las Vegas were not even there (it was Isetan).

Somerset was at ex westin hotel (now swissotel)....Claressa Monteiro used to sing there......sister joint saxophone at cuppage.......owner was my friend angmo Fabrice....he was the one who taught me to appreciate jazz. he got another saxophone joint in BKK too.

Taiwan porridge oasis moved to toa payoh garden..........still on the water........and food still taste the same.
