This week, we’re doing a tour of Paya Lebar Crescent and its nearby streets. I’d actually been to the area a few years ago, when taking my Mom on a jaunt down memory lane (she lived nearby when she was young) and, to be honest, wasn’t super impressed when I first visited. The area felt quite industrial (as I drove there via Bartley Road East which is a Business District) and “ulu” as there didn’t seem to be much around.
I travelled through the dark purple areas on the bottom right of the map, when I first visited, and was driving through what felt to be endless factories and commercial buildings.
However, this time back, I was pleasantly surprised and found the area quite charming! For this jaunt, I went by the PIE, followed by Upper Paya Lebar road, and my impression of the area was totally different! Also, given that the estate is in between 2 MRT stations...
