Aristolochia gigantea Aristolochiaceae Giant Dutchman’s Pipe A robust vine from Brazil, the Giant Dutchman’s Pipe is so called due to the unopened flower’s resemblance to an old-fashioned smoking pipe.

Kim's Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee @ Jalan Eunos Branch Kims first opened a stall in a coffeeshop at Changi Road in the early 1970's. (At 5 1/2 mile Changi Road) Oveall, their hokkien prawn mee is in my opinion, better than many other comparable fried hokkien mee. What is unique about it is that Kim's always wear long sleves and pants with a shiny Rolex watch pluc a distinctive Mercedes belt. He has two large woks. His version like that of the old school style Hokkien mee is the drier version. Another famous stall serving drier hokkien mee is at old airport road. The old airport road stall gives less value as his $5/- is a small packet with sliced chil…

Singapore Improvement Trust plans on Tiong Bahru Estate was built along/around Chinese Hokkien cemetery land. Which includes land currently occupied by S.G.H. This estate consists of 504 flats and a market. From the attachment one can see that the flats are conservatively laid out in uniform and orderly fashion. As much as possible, the roads are laid out also in orderly grid. If all the wordings were blank-out; believe me - if I sat that a quick glance: I could have mis-read it (mistaken) as a colonial British naval base. With warships parked along this wharf...

Chong Pang: Soon Lee Heng (stall name), Chinese-style satay stall. I happened to walk past the first satay stall at Block 2 Changi Village and ordered their chicken satay. Pleasantly surprised, I found the chunks of meat moist and chewy. Later, I realised that they have four or five photos of our current PM and his wife enjoying satay at this same stall. Looks like there are two Chinese satay stalls and, wow, about four more Malay satay stalls here!

Many Coffeeshop toilets are simply walk-in/out designs. Without needing to push a door. The Cubical urinals are shielded by this lesser design.
