Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 2, 2014 Staff Share Posted January 2, 2014 So this is where they keep the (circular) bins that were placed outside open areas of HDB blocks for residents to burn incense-joss papers and joss sticks...

It is located at Clementi Avenue 2, an aging HDB estate built around 1976. Perhaps they felt that they need as much luck! Thus not only they upsized the drinks to the five (5) ghosts of the N, S, East, West and central spirits; The Coffeeshop also offered each god each a cup of regular patron’s coffee + tea!. The only odd thing is just a plate of two slices of bread and plain water... hmmmm How considerate that they lined-up the cup handles assuming all the gods are right handed... a nice touch to smoothly get their cuppa!
