Today we’re exploring another landed estate in Bukit Timah, which consists of several Avenues all named after trees: Redwood, Elm, Oak, Fir, and Cypress. It’s about a 12-minute walk from Sixth Avenue MRT and 17 minutes from Methodist Girls’ School, with several eateries in the middle of the estate. There are also several famous schools, such as Hwa Chong, SCGS, and ACS within easy reach on public transport, making it quite a convenient place for families with school-going kids to live.
I used to have two friends who lived here when I was growing up and have visited them many times, so I’m quite familiar with the area. Let’s take a walk around to see if anything has changed!
Let’s start with the eateries. I can’t believe Bar Bar Black Sheep is still here! There’s also a pet shop, steamboat restaurant, kopitiam, North Indian restaurant, pizza shop, florist etc...
