Well I am not sure if Hougang Green Shopping Mall is really that old, but it did seem very run down and the shops had that old style feeling. It has a similar vibe as City Plaza in Geylang where … Continue reading

Not the Arnold’s from Happy Days, but the Arnold’s in Singapore with the greasy but great home style fried chicken. They seem to be located in old, out of the way, delapidated shopping centres, like this one at Hougang Green … Continue reading

Ate at the only restaurant located at the basement. It was a bit stuffy that day and the air-conditioning wasn’t very strong. There was some kind of food fair going on. And the clothing shop with the flower garden theme, … Continue reading

Doinky Doodles at Bali Lane
Bali Lane just next to Haji Lane and adds to the whole artsy vibe. Doinky Doodles is a must see. Loved the paintings on the walls and all the lovingly handcrafted items within.

Haji Lane is a place you’ll fall for. It’s a haven where you won’t get shoved in a crowd, pushy sales people hovering over you, and mind numbing chain stores. It’s like a splash of colour in a country people … Continue reading
