      Pek Kio finally renovated without much change? That’s sad. I was hoping to see some changes to that old market.

        Ya lor! I actually spent a fair bit of time to examine if they change the floor tiles. :? Still looked original to me. The tables and chairs also original.


        Then why they need to close down the whole market for 1 whole month hor? Some said change cables, that I can’t tell. 😂

        PK market’s cooked food’s and groceries’ prices are much lower than the nearby Whampo market. Cleanliness level is also higher too. :love:

          Finally get to visit the newly revamped Pek Kio market. After one month of renovations, I don’t see much changes, :razz: except it felt brighter and toilets had been upgraded.


          Saw my SIL & BIL and had breakfast with them. SIL told me it is a must to go for massage/manicure/ pedicure/perm or colour hair etc. before I come back from KSL hor. These services are 1/3 of Singapore prices.

          Then met another 3 groups of friends while marketing. 今天不知什么好日子, took me a few hours to come home from market :faint:
          Ppl are missing Pek Kio mkt so newly revamped mkt brings ppl together. :grphug:

            likely upgraded the lightings to LED or some energy savings lights and major cleaning of drainage pipes.


            better not anyhow replaced floor tiles or tables/chairs, else invites criticisms about Govt wasting tax payers’ money.

                Quite true but Shut down for one whole month, I thought I would see some major facelit mah.

                Probably also changed all the old electrical cables in case short circuit and cause fire

These days, I don't mind anyone bumping into me as I am, nor will I be judgmental abt others' attire. True frds come fr the pleasure of shared experience - explore the changes, yearning for the usual flavours of local stalls, appreciating a local common place to meetup.

                  Ya, must admit if I were in my young adult days, I used to ensure I doll up anywhere I go. Used to wear stilettos for work & dates. Pretty sandals even only to hawker centers. But as I grow hopefully 'wiser' I'm more at ease with myself. So, so long as I'm not indecently dressed, I love to meet ano fellow frd in a down-to-earth context. Now I find dolling up too pretentious. I just ensure I'm not in tattered clothes nor present myself indecently, shld be OK bah. It's also how you carry yourself. Be yourself. Be genuine. Love company & open abt sharing life. Cest la vie!
