Colorful shophouses along Koon Seng Road, with exquisite detailing.
Yes, we were riding in a convertible when I took this picture.
| Shophouses along Joo Chiat Road.
Notice the 7-Eleven? If
everything looks nice, even discount convenience stores end up housed in
attractive buildings.

| Completed popiah. A spring roll originally from Southern China composed
of greens, onions, bean paste, and pickled something, all wrapped in a
paper-thin flour pancake. I liked it. It had a bit of a snap. It tasted
a bit sweet and homey; I think it would be good (inoffensive) when sick.

|
|
| A store filled with innumerable zongzi (glutinous rice and other fillings
wrapped in a leaf).
| The shophouses ("late shophouse style") at "Lotus at Joo Chiat", along Joo
Chiat Place.
| More shophouses further along Joo Chiat Place. These are rather more
ornate.
| The colorful shophouses on Koon Seng Road, again.

|
|
| The shophouses across the street. I think their entrances are more
interesting.

| At left, steamed bbq pork buns (char siu); at right, steamed shrimp
dumplings with chives.
| Ice kaching. Shaved ice on top of red beans, green jelly, and weird
mostly-solid jelly-bean-shaped things, and topped with corn.
