I like to go to St 52 526 coffeeshop for the BBQ seafood and Bowen's western food ! Always super crowded with alot of ppl drinking beer, me included 🤣

 

The taman jurong mkt and food centre is good too! 

 

When I was younger, used to go to Jurong stadium, sad that they finally demolished it

Taman jurong hc not bad, there is one stall at level 2 selling quite nice fried bee hoon. And upstairs there is cai png stall also quite nice but the last time i went there this cai png stall no more liao.

Opposite the hc, there is one foodcourt and there is one stall selling nice BCM. Always long queue de. And i like the ntuc there also, spacious to shop.

I eat this 58 BCM since the 80s lah, from the original stall at the 60 stalls to they started their franchises all over the place, till they close now all their franchises. 

2005-2007 was about the period they started their franchise, that time the BCM was inside koufu next to the foodcourt, after they toh, then shifted to the current location.  This is the only one left beside the original stall, which I understand related.

the original stall which is run by the son now, is on level 3 of the HC, next time you go see the name of the stall at the food court, "58 BCM" because old time at 60 stalls, their stall number was 58...

Seems like we were from same area. My parents were supplying veg to that bbq seafood stall at blk 526 more than 10 years ago. We used to dabao their bbq fish, stingray and prawns and banana leaf fried rice which were very nice. But its been at least 10 years ago.

I am not that familiar with the current taman jurong mkt and food centre but more of the predecessor number 1 and number 2 markets in the 80s/90s before they were cleared. And the famous 60 stall of cos. We were selling veg in number 2 market until it was cleared in 1991, after which we moved to Jurong east 347.

Familiar with jurong stadium and the swimming pool as well. I first learnt swimming pool there and I was fr jurong sec so we often had sports activities at the stadium. I think many years ago there was a driving school there.

 

Boon lay 72 stalls, Tamah Jurong 60 stalls, 一号巴刹，二号巴刹,  brings back all the childhood memories...

Boon Lay 72 is referring to the boon lay food centre? I never knew it is known as or has 72 stalls.

All those 4 places were a huge part of my childhood. Was helping parents sell veg at 二号巴刹, jurong sec always go eat at 一号巴刹, lived opposite boon lay fc, also quite frequent the taman jur 60 stalls. Unfortunately I have no photos of any of those.

Yah, BL FC had 72 stalls, but few ppl talk about it because there was only one FC in BL, so when ppl say boon lay 巴刹, cannot go wrong. 

opp BL FC is referring to 207?
