A stone-throw away from Changi Village Hotel lies Changi Village. A visit to Changi Village reveals that it is actually a very unique place which contrast strongly from the rest of the Singapore Island. It somehow evokes an old-school, laid back charm that seems so totally out of place in today’s modern, bustling Singapore City.
Check out these photographs. The classic red-brick design of the buildings. Oooh! I like!

Oh my! these motorised mini vehicles for children are what I pinned for when I was a little tot, and that’s ahem! quite a while ago. Still, I had to restrain myself from going up to the uncle to ask if adults are allowed to ride in one of those vehicles. Geez. Some people just never grow up.

A somewhat revamped food centre which somehow still exudes the air of yesteryear. Check out that sign board:” Changi Village Food and Wet Market Stall Holders Association”.

Makes one wonder the purpose of having such an association. I wonder what is its vision, objectives and mission.

Yummy! The food at Changi Village Food Centre deserves a whole article dedicated to it.

Oh! I also spied a stall selling roasted chest nuts. Yes those which roast the chest nuts on the spot from their little cart.

hmmm.. seems like nostalgia can be yummy too!
