oriental shopping centre was the hype in the 80s. as kid, like to go there because there aircon. The macdonald is at the same location for the last 30 years. if i remember correctly, the macdonald open business in 1982/3.
it call "luck goh jeok" (6th mile point) or simon road market. operate from early morning to late night. ppl watch midnite movie at "xian gong" cinema at tampines road, near wingtai garment would walk to simon road market for supper. teochew fish soup, muai chee, fried prawn mee etc etc... remember last year wanbao report about a guy wanting to sell the muai chee receipe but older brother want a cut? it a pity it turn out like this as i loved their old man muai chee when i was a kid. when the old man die, the younger son continue to sell at HG ave 8 until the dispute appear. i would not be surprise the whole dispute is cause by the younger son ah tiong wife. his wife bring her extended family to singapore as his wife's sister-in-law can be seen helping at the stall.
lim ah pin singpost still operation. i prefer lim ah pin post office than to post office in hougang mall because there less ppl and provide free parking. i always arrange to pick up parcel and registered post there, then cross the road to eat promfret fish porridge or buy soon kway before going back to pickup the car.
