Did you noticed the Golden Crown 金冠 name on the building and the 金都 cinema at the back ground?

Added another $1.00 of wonton
Wah Lan Eh. The wonton noodle pics are really torturing me now. Very jialat, feel like making a trip home now.

Just Google in "Images" mode on the left selection instead of "Everything". Plenty of images to choose from. Nowadays, taking photos in digital format is so cheap. The people in 'ancient' time must take a lot of effort, time and money especially just to capture them for history sake. Film cameras weren't cheap or easy to use either. Wrong selection means all that you take were over exposed or under exposed not like today you can actually preview your take before capturing or choose to delete and re-take again.

The ba'mee mee mee lueang haeng in Thailand in various versions are better than most wanton mee or bak cho' versions in Singapore. But if it's wanton or dumpling soup you're craving for, yes I agree, a bit hard to find in Thailand. Phuket has a good Chinese-Singapore style coffeeshop near Patong Beach 5 minutes walking from Soi Bangla opposite to the left. You'd think you'd arrived back in Singapore by the ambience except that they speak Thai. They serve good wanton mee and satay, Singapore-Chinese style but don't worry, still at Thai price. 
The lady boss is very pretty, friendly and chatty. But I ran out of time to properly court her on my last visit. :(

Midnight show was the in-thing in th 60's and 70's and so was coffee-house. They were favourites for new dates.
The community centre at Dawson Road (off Strathmore Rd) used to hold weekly open air cinema before the arrival of black and white tv. The ticket for entrance was only 5-10 cents but many who could not afford would sneak in under the fabric fencing.
The nostalgic Wongfei Hong & Fung Sai Yoke were the favourites shows.
Those days anybody can operate a push-cart stall...no permit or licence...only need some initial capital for the setup.
Those were the days my friends.

Thank you bro for highlighting that blog. I have added it to my favs and will read more. have a good day.
Rusty, talking about coffee-house in the good old days there is one on the second floor of the Margaret Drive Food Centre at the back of the Shanghai dumpling stall. I guess my first time eating western food is there, those days going there is very very atas. There I learn what is sausage, steak, mix-grill, mesh potato, H1 and LP sauces etc. What is the name of this coffee-house anyone?
There's a very good lormee stall at Bukit Merah HC, in between old HDB and interchange, further across the highway is CMPB. I always ate the lormee there whenever I have business to deal with HDB or CMPB. I haven't been there for many years, don't know if the stall is still running.
