Discover the hidden charm of Nee Soon Village on this walking tour. Often overlooked, the history, culture, and heritage of this northern enclave have been quietly evolving, and with the arrival of the new Springleaf MRT station, things are finally changing.

Once a sleepy hamlet, Springleaf is now bustling with new life as eateries spring up across the area. While modern cafes and restaurants rush in to capitalise on this newfound popularity, long-standing establishments like Ngee Fou Ampang Yong Tau Foo, which has been serving delicious food for decades, continue to hold their own. (I know them well – they’ve been my neighbours for years!)

In the 1970s, landed properties here were hard to sell, as few believed the north would ever prosper. Fast forward nearly 50 years, and those once-overlooked homes are now worth a fortune. It’s amazing how the tide has turned!

Join me for a rustic walk through this old hometown, where we’ll explore its rich heritage and soak in the old-world charm that still lingers amidst the ongoing modernisation. This tour offers a rare glimpse into the transformation of Springleaf and Nee Soon Village, showcasing both the new and the traditional.

We meet at Springleaf MRT (Exit 2) at 9am on Sat, 30th Nov 2024. The tour will end back at Springleaf MRT around 11:30am, just before the lunch crowd arrives.

Put on your walking shoes, and let’s take a step back in time together while appreciating the changes of today.
