Go Forth to the North.

Toa Payoh is truly a wondrous place, and a blessing for those who reside in the North. It has everything you might need, and everything else. The bus interchange is air-conditioned. The NTUC is 2 storeys. You can buy anything from cheap toiletries to second-hand handphones. They even have a library and the Pasar Malam nearly permanently there. But best of all, Toa Payoh has the greatest thing to offer: food.

There is the very nice bakery that sells super nice waffles with cheese next to the library. There is the goreng pisang that people travel all the way to toa payoh for. The bak chor mee. The Phoon Huat store in the NTUC. The very nice Koi Cafe that has nice pearls and nice bubble tea flavours.

(Oh and my grandparents, and now Rong-tzuu, live there as well.)

And best of all: Toa Payoh Chwee Kuay! Its sort of hidden by some shops along the street of shops across from the HDB Hub, but if you have a strong will and a big appetite you will surely find it.
