The Nearest Amenities - What every Resident should know Part 1/2

Here's a little directory for those who want to get around in the estate.

3 nearest Coffeeshops - Don't just depend on the Hawker Centre, these are the nearest 3 sussed out.

(1) Wong Poh Coffeeshop at St Michael's Interchange - 200 m walk (Zi char / Fish Head Steamboat, Indian Food Spice Central, Mix Vegetables Rice, Malay food - nasi lemak, mee reebus etc). If you take a bus back, go all the way to the Bus Terminal and tabao some food back.

(2) 74 Whampoa Dr - 350 m walk (Zi char / Mix Vegetables Rice, wanton noodles morning/day, indian rojak) I think this place is popular with the elderly in the mornings - there's a bird 'display' area next to it.


(3) 82 Whampoa Dr Tiong Shan Coffeeshop - 425 m walk (Tiong Shan Porridge - frog legs porridge and the usual porridge and raw fish, A thai-style Mix Vegetables Rice stall, a Ngor Hiong stall and others)

 

3 nearest Convenience Shops - Your local mama shops to get your quick fix.

(1) Mumtaz 111 Whampoa Road - 150 m walk. Indian Convenience Store. Open till 11 pm (usually).

(2) Rajah Court Kiosk (Blk 107 Jln Rajah) - 200m walk. Chinese Convenience Store run by 1 auntie and 1 uncle.

(3) 74 Whampoa Dr - 350 m walk. There are 2 Chinese convenience stores in this block, but the one next to the Post Office offers a wider range. Out of the 3, this is the biggest one and you should get your Chinese spices from here! (cheapest cigarettes too for those who smoke!)

 

 

3 nearest ATMs - Need that extra cash before going for a Ladies' Night? All ATMs are within walkable distances.

(1) POSB ATM 74 Whampoa Dr  - 350m walk - highly unreliable; often out of service!

(2) POSB & OCBC ATM 80 Lorong Limau - Outside NTUC, about 400m walk

(3) UOB ATM 86 Whampoa Drive #01-945 - about 400m walk. Sharing the space together with a hair saloon Winners Hair Cut. Old-style!

3 nearest Supermarkets

(1) NTUC 80 Lorong Limau - It's newly opened just last year. Pretty small but enough to get the basic neccessities.
