The giant Green Spot bottle by the road -side.......
- Thread starter Force 136
- Start date
the green spot got discolored and became blue. :o
I can still remember my trips from Wayang Satu (former Equatorial Hotel) to the place where my paternal uncle worked at 7th milestone Bukit Timah Road.
A bridge over a canal led to the compound of the sprawling godown.
Elderly Sikh watchmen worked for these Chinese towkay and they used to sit on straw beds (charpoys).
My uncle used to bring me to the site of these giant Green Spot bottle that was the site of the Amoy Canning Corporation or Amoycan for short.
Green spot was a favourite orange drink at Chinese funerals.
It was a unique bottle with rough edges. I enjoyed the rich orange taste in it.
It was much smaller compared to the larger orange and other assorted soft drinks produced by Framroz and F&N.
This area had Jalan Anak Bukit at it's rear and a small road led to the Bukit Timah Hill.
Not far ahead was the old Bukit Timah Fire Station with it's staff quarters. Directly infront of the fire station was Jalan Rajawali which was famous for the Redifussion Station.
Sadly, it is now all gone.
I also remember the Malay kampong leading to the hilltop of Lorong Sesuai.
Most importantly I remember the good old Green Bus Company buses.
Lots of memories there, especially of a lass that was the most beautiful one that I met.
Alas she did not become my wife......So sad........

Yes missed the landmark.the kampong between the fire stationa nd the Amoycam factory is where Rashid Hassan the former Malaysian goalkeeper stayed.Along Jln sesuai are some houses on the slope of the hill to the TV station.Further up was the Ford factory and opposite it there was a Natok
kong shrine between upp bukit timah road and the railway track.Below the TV station hill opposite Bukit Batok primary school ,there was a indian dhoby man and some cow shed where he milk the cow and cycle to sell.Remember the magnolia factory too opposite amoycan factory

Was this near AMOY Canning at Bukit Timah?? I love green spot drinks...come Lunar New Year I am in charge of ordering the soft drinks from the "chap huey tiam", it would be , 3 or 4 cases, F&N Orange, Sarsi, Ice Cream Soda & Green Spot..the free case every year for buying groceries from the shop..I will tell shop towkay to mix Coca Cola, Green Spot, 7up...that is my reward.
What I miss is this Green Spot, Kickapoo ( not the current gen), Dad's Root Beer, F&N..any flavours, Eastern Aerated soft drinks..the green, cherry..:p

Too spiky for likes of fun ..make that taste :plooneytan said:
The underside of bottle cap was different with liner that cannot be peeled....had cork material as well.
When i was young I use to collect drinks bottle caps & even the liners, have to wash them first then dry, if not you get a stale leftover smell of the soft drinks.
I thought they smell great. I hated those without smell, it means they are not fresh. We used to fight bottle caps, remember?
