Good 'ol days gone by
Came across this old man selling eggs at Boon Keng market. Probably fresh from the farm and still warm! Just a simple set up and his 'stall' was bustling with people. Stalls such as these are reminders to us of days gone by and how simple life used to be. Other treasures at the market are a retro stationery shop (with glass cabinets no less!) and a retro Chinese barber with faded posters of Liu Wen Zheng, New Kids On The Block and other retro pop idols on the walls and that spinning red/blue/white thingie outside the shop. Awesome!
Speaking of retro, we were at Steeples the other day after our usual Saturday swimming session. Nobody does burgers and milkshakes like they do. Had a Teriyaki Burger and a Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake. We had a marvellous Waldorf Salad as well.
For those who are sentimental (like us) and miss the good 'ol juicy, handmade beef patties and milkshakes reminiscent of 1950s American diners, go to Steeples at Tanglin Shopping Centre (they are tucked away in a little corner on the 3rd level). The place is small and the Auntie at the counter may give you the 'take it or leave it' kind of face, but like all good things it's always worth the wait. Even the menu is still written in chalk!
