This residential area has retained its charm and nostalgia. When it was first built in the 50's, it was predominately the homes of British military forces.

I have never actually really been to Serangoon Gardens. It sounds like a wonderful place, esp. the food part.
I guess the proposed plan of housing foreign workers nearby has and will continue to stir up a gamut of emotions - from the accepting to the objecting. Do keep a tab on your blog entry and perhaps months or years down the road, you can update your readers on how SR has evolved yet again.
And I hope your "Welcome to Serangoon Gardens" invite is meant for our foreign friends as well!

Thank you for your comments. My personal thinking is that a truly cosmopolitan community should embrace the concept of unity in diversity with a set of core values such as mutual respect and tolerance in facilitating community bonding.
Please note that there are 4 char kway teow stores, each has its die hard followers! Enjoy :)
