Kudos to Conservation Projects - Keong Siak Street

For those who frequent Chinatown (thats me!), am sure you have heard of Keong Siak Street.

During the 1960s (that's WAY before my time okie..hehehe), Keong Saik Road used to be a notorious red light district in Chinatown but these days it houses many boutique hotels and is a conservation project under URA.

Love the buildings, brings me back to Singapore in the yester years
Pictures taken in a temple.
Dun the 水缸reminds you of the 司马光 story ?
And who can forget the wooden tables in coffeeshops in the 60s ... Kopi O jij puay !!
As well as the beautiful motifs that adorn the floors and walls of these buildings.
