Taiwan December Holiday Part 1

Dear and I went for Taiwan holiday early December. It took me a much longer time to sort out the photos, thus for this late post.

Good food at Feng Jia Night Market. According to the tour guide, this is one of the best night market in Taiwan, selling food, shoes, bags and shirts.

To try at Feng Jia:
(a) Da Chang Bao Xiao Chang
(b) Jumbo stinky dou fu
(c) Sweet potato balls.

The famous Taiwan Lu Rou Fan at Jiu Fen.

Fernvale Palms Progress - 5 Dec 2012

 

 

All roofs are up for 433B and 432B. Hope the progress speeds up.

Sengkang West Road and SBS Bus 50

A new route leading from Yio Chu Kang to the Tampines Expressway (TPE) will be available in three years' time. The route, Sengkang West Road, will offer an option to the narrow Jalan Kayu road, with three lanes in each direction. Motorists have been reported as looking forward to the construction of the route. The new road will start at where Yio Chu Kang Road and Jalan Kayu currently intersect. It will then cut through parts of Seletar West Farmway before joining the TPE. As a result, 13 tenants will have to leave the Farmway to make way for the project. Sengkang West Road will also provide access across the TPE to the upcoming Seletar Aerospace Park.

Changes include:
- Jalan Kayu will end at Sengkang West Avenue, which will be extended to coincide with Sengkang West Road, it said.
- Fernvale Road will be re-routed to join Sengkang West Road.
- a segment of Yio Chu Kang Road between the Central Expressway and Jalan Kayu will be widened to three lanes in each direction, up from the existing two.

But the stretch of Jalan Kayu with shop houses and eateries will not be affected

There is also a new bus service 50 which will run from Punggol to Sengkang and through Sengkang west way to Ang Mo Kio which will benefit us. I have plotted out the bus route around Palms as below.

Eating House, Shops and Supermarket Near Sengkang MRT In The Future

There will be an eating house, shops and a supermarket for the new BTO project near Sengkang MRT. I guess high chance of a NTUC?

It was house warming day for Saturday. We visted dear's colleague and friend new home in Punggol. Punggol project is much faster than Sengkang's.

I have been at Palms these few weeks though I have not uploaded the project progress photo. Progress is rather slow - one roof cap per week.

HDB Vanity Top Wash Basin

We woke up early on Sunday morning and went to Toa Payoh market for breakfast. The market served one of the cheapest and nicest foods in Singapore. After that, we visited the Philips sales, wanted to purchase hair dryer initially. In the end, we bought the baby milk bottle steriliser bundle. We visited HDB hub and tried the famous Rojak at the food court. The HDB hub also showed the difference between the vanity top wash basin and the wash basin with tap mixer. I think we will be getting both of them, 1 at our master bedroom toilet and the other at the attached toilet.

The layout of the latest Sengkang HDB near to the MRT is similar to the proposed layout by our ID.
