In the place where I stayed, Bukit Timah, the man on the bicycle was a chinese. The bread was the usual kind found in those olden days. Would impatiently watch the guy cut off the harder crust & spread the kaya. The final outcome was a yummy kaya sandwich
I've seen still bakeries in Teacher's Estate & Yio Chu Kang(near Motorola).
You mean the Bakery is still at Teacher's Housing Estate?...Motorola I know.. Munshi Abdullah/Tagore Avenue..in the distance past I used to ride my BMX bike up & down the roads there...heh heh heh

In the old days there was no Peninsula Shopping Centre
If I remember they were the 1st shop from the parking lot, opposite Cold Storage. Thats where I usually saw the Cisco kid showing off his fast draw
As a kid I had the same plastic pistol
You sure!.... I know Ruby Photo, from my days of crazy with the camera...were they at Orchard Rd near cold Storage?...hmmm Pavilion , BiBi Baba..when Orchard Rd Car Park was still around, with 'orchard rd cowboy' peninisular shopping was opened, so was Lucky Plaza...
Those were our 'vivo city' & 'ion' of our time....
People who knows me still ask...you still frequent 'ruby'.....maybe ruby did have a shop along orchard rd then..
Anyway..the old cold storage and the wet market next door...there use to be a Hokkien Prawn Mee stall, in the wet market, a friend of mine...would go crazy over...
Then we have the pau shop...at Koek Rd...:p

It should be history, THE SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX not the F1..used to be held near there, at the old Upper Thomson Rd's circuit, where the devil's bend, which is still around ( and recent days, killed some youngsters in a car)...
Talking about the same area... not far from there at Nemesu Avenue, the row of old shop houses..
There was a shop that sells roti prata, that was better than the Jln Kayu & along the same row, a Hainanese Bakery...that predates the buns now you find in Bread Talk...better tasting, cheaper & quality..but not on presentation...
Further on, you have the Jalan Leban Hawker Centre, with the yummy "Or Hiang Stall' the Hokkien Noodle, the Sembawang Ji char...
( these stalls are gone)...
If one still remember them...
Could be wrong on the details as to the name but I'm certain there was a camera store there on that corner. Wanted to ask the people at Peninsula if it was Ruby, but never got around to doing it.
I remember going to Peninsula when it first opened & the the CarPark(food court) at Orchard Rd predates Peninsula. I went to school at ACS (Canning Rise) & still remember that there used to be old shops where the current Peninsula stands .
Hock Lam Street( where the Current Funan Mall stands) had great food like wanton mee, spare parts soup. Some of the hawkers moved to the Hill St food court next to the fire station which has been demolished
Used to eat at Koek Rd on Sundays, next to the wet market. Only had my favourite wanton mee & chinese style satay. The pau store was an uncle's favourite
Will never forgive the PAP for destroying many of my favourite makan places :(

Yes, bro, thanks for confirming and for the extra information.
You have helped me to confirm that I didn't dream it up.
The nightly food stalls at Orchard Rd became known as the Jaw of Spore because they started overcharging for the food
When it was closed some of them ended up in Newton & the tradition of overcharging continues today on tourists & angmos :p
There was a recent attempt to revive "Gluttons Square" by the tourist board but of course it was a failure. Now of course there's a new empty mall.
I miss the original Satay Club at Beach Rd before it was moved to the esplanade.
After it moved to the esplanade it was too crowded & didn't have the atmosphere of kerosene lamps
Used to work around the area & the hardest thing was deciding where to have lunch
I miss those carefree days.And opp was the Alhambra cinema!
Further down at Miiddle rd, there were the steamboat stalls. Dishes and sticks of raw meat, fish, cuttlefish, etc placed before you and you dipped them into the boiling pot to cook..

NIce picture, Sam! After a hot day, the tarmac was still warm even in the evening, but you still enjoyed the great food, the company of girls we took to Gina's or Jurong DriveIn, and our buddies after bowling at Jackie's Orchard, and smelled the stink of the drain behind the stalls..
Ohh! How about the hum, the various types of shellfish in spiral shapes, in small plates and a kettle of boiling water poured onto them and you picked them and stuffed them into yr mouth after dippping into delicious chilli paste!
Seriously, I miss the peddler in Lowland Road selling plain but wonderful banana flavoured chewy pastry ( one of it's kind ).
Another hawker on Motorbike selling freid yam roll with filling and top with red sweat sauce, yummy, can be seen in and around Hougang.
