They still occupy the same stall at the second last stall beside the Indian Muslim drink stall.

However it was just a makeshift one where the hawkers just set up shop with tables and rickshaw, nothing concrete. The ovt then build one on the other bank as shown in the map.<BR/>As shown by yr research, the present one was built in 1974 to replace it. I did not frequent the old centre from 72 onwards as I had dropped badminton bec. of PSLE. I only noticed that the old centre was not there in the 80s when I took buses that passed by it. I visited the present one probably in mid 90s. I did not know that it replaced the old one that was by the canal. However i could not find the hainanese chicken rice store that my dad and i used to frequent.<BR/><BR/>wlcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-86406340178112079932007-02-27T14:55:00.000+08:002007-02-27T14:55:00.000+08:00My friend Chuck just informed me that the tulang c...My friend Chuck just informed me that the tulang came from bone of goat not cow.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-5016961948093376662007-02-24T17:06:00.000+08:002007-02-24T17:06:00.000+08:00Before 1932, the site was once the Cluny Road Rail...Before 1932, the site was once the Cluny Road Railway Station. Adams Road and Farrer Road had not existed then but Duneran Road and Bukit Timah Road were.

The best part was the free parking at its compound. The most impressionable place was the former Newton Circus which controlled at least 7 to 8 roads leading to it. Traffic was really heavy at peak hours, but quite orderly, despite of motorists trying to out-maneuver each other when entering the circus, with buses always coming on top of the game. It was a daily pitting of drivers' skill and bravado.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-72690105463648998902007-02-18T15:01:00.000+08:002007-02-18T15:01:00.000+08:00Chun SeePerhaps you could be right because I went ...Chun See<BR/>Perhaps you could be right because I went to this place in 1972 and you went there before 1972.<BR/><BR/>There were 2 flyiver sin the Bukit Timah Road area in the late 1960s - Adams Road and Newton Circus.<BR/><BR/>Kung Hee Fatt Choy!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-68540279300088015292007-02-18T13:07:00.000+08:002007-02-18T13:07:00.000+08:00Hi Chun See, yes, I remember the original flyover ...Hi Chun See, yes, I remember the original flyover that used to run perpendicular to the present Adam Road flyover. <BR/><BR/>My secondary school and JC were around the area and I used to dread the construction of the present underpass and the demolition works because the traffic there could get pretty bad back then.<BR/><BR/>Ah, I have never tried the ice kacang at Adam Rd Hawker.
