Land of Smiles

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Whenever I visit Singapore I will never fail to have roti-prata at Tanglin Halt Market

For me this is perfect breakfast
Image

Another breakfast I like is lormee and carrot cake there

Margaret Drive Hawker Centre is one of the newest food centres in Singapore opened on August the 1st last year however most of the stalls are really old like over 30 years old most moved from Tanglin Halt Food Centre about 1.2km away.

This new Margaret Drive Hawker Centre is located beside the old Margaret Drive Market, built in 1960 or 63 years ago it is now being conserved.

This is the old Margaret Drive Market now refurbished

Stalls on the ground floor, I took photos of some of the popular stalls from Tanglin Halt

Image

I've been having desserts from this stall since in secondary school meaning this stall is more than 40 years old
Image

Image

Always have a queue at this stall

The food may be the same but the atmosphere of them hawkers "supermarkets" is not the same anymore. I just loved them (long gone) times they were still along the streets.
work is for people who cant find truffles
