    1) Thai Food @ LC Food Court (Former TK Tech Sch)
    369 Tanjong Katong Road

    - Very authentic thai food
    - Taste better but priced much cheaper than the typical thai restaurants found in shopping centres
    - Free Parking!


    2) Nan Xiang Chicken Rice
    Along Tanjong Katong Rd (next to caltex station)

    There are quite a good collection of good houses around in the East

    Two at the junction of Marine Parade Rd and Still Road
    Two at Grand Duchess@St Patrick
    One at The Seaview
    One next to the Chinese Swimming Club
    Take a slow walk at Joo Chiat Road and East Coast...lots of beautiful houses there, a very rich collection and a number of interesting shops there like the one making the popiah skin

    Always wondered what is this building?
    It is just opposite I12 Katong when you exit the carpark to the main road.

    Hi carbuncle, is Sin Hoe Hotel still functional?
    I remember it in the past. But now, don't notice it.
    Could it be because the trees are covering it?

    Yes its still in operation. I remember many yrs ago when i was in sec sch, the house was brightly painted and colourful, but now they have toned down back to dual colour tones. In fact, there are several huge mansions along mountbatten road, quite a number were abandoned ones.

    Sharing an interesting blog on all the old mansions of the past in sg:

    Laguna, you are most welcomed, i love this blog article a lot too as it provides much valuable info of the past for the younger generation in sg. There are still quite a number of gems along marine parade road, like some of the old sea walls of east coast which are still existing today.

    Some beautiful seafront villas of D15, then and now:

    1) Villas at St Patricks Rd (formerly owned by descedants of Tan Kim Seng but now are the clubhouses of Grand Duchess)






    2) Butterfly House - same architect who designed Raffles Hotel & Goodwood Park Hotel. Now the butterfly has its wing clipped, with only a tiny front facade of the house retained as the main entrance of Aristo

    Sharing some more D15 sea front mansions which are still left untouched for now (info abstracted from various websites):

    1) Karikal Mahal- the largest seafront mansion of east coast, used to be owned by a rich indian cattle merchant in the 1920s. The compound was cut into half to make way for the construction of Still Rd (junction at Marine Parade Rd). Was subsequently operated as Grand Hotel and now becomes a furniture warehouse.




    2) Sea Breeze Lodge - Opposite Parkway Parade, owned by Choa Kim Keat. Was occupied by his descendant Eric Choa until he passed away a few yrs ago. Now sold to FEO ........

    I think they had missed out properties like the one at Draycott...cannot recall the name 18 or 118 with a very beautiful clubhouse, the most beautiful one I have ever seen.

    I felt very sad on the butterfly house, I failed to understand why URA did not list it as conservation in the first instance

    Yes indeed, it was a shame that the butterfly house has to go. I am fortunate enough to visit the house before the construction of Aristo.

    Another rare gem left in Upp East Coast:

    Hua Yu Wee Seafood
    462 Upper East Coast Road, Singapore 466508
    6442 9313

    Read review here

    Probably the last one left standing along Upp East Coast Road. All the other seafood restaurants like Little Red House, Long Beach and Spring Court which used to line along the east coast, have since made way for private apartments.

    Hua Yu Wee is relatively lower priced compared with most other seafood restaurants at East Coast Park.
