STREET TALK AN INSIDER’S GUIDE TO LIFE IN THEIR ’HOOD

THE SPECIFICS

What street do you live on? Cavan Road.

Exact words you tell a taxi driver to get home? “Uncle, stop next to Jalan Besar stadium or Lavender MRT.” What’s the name of your neighbourhood? Jalan Besar.

Closest MRT station? Lavender or Farrer Park. How long have you lived here? One-and-a-half years.

Why here? When I arrived in Singapore in 2013, I spent four days in this area and appreciated the atmosphere and convenience as it’s so close to the CBD where I work. At the time there were none of the nice cafés and restaurants that exist now; it has became so trendy, and almost every Sunday I go for brunch in one of them!
