Children still revel in timeless games of catch and hopscotch, while shopkeepers maintain tradition by storing their earnings in Horlicks tins, all while embracing modernity through mobile payments.
The café in Potong Pasir finds its home next to the tranquil ABC Waters Park, nestled along the banks of the scenic Kallang River. This park serves as a beloved pitstop for joggers and cyclists traversing the 36-kilometer Central Urban Loop, the flagship route of Singapore’s Park Connector Network (PCN).
