Once upon a time, “Punggol” referred to that long, beautiful, and lonely road that led to the popular seafood epicentre. For most baby boomers, “Punggol” had only one attraction – SEAFOOD!

No one paid any “scant” attention to the history, heritage, or culture of the area. From attap huts to “sar lee chu” (zinc roof houses), to the current modern digital Punggol, most of us have almost forgotten that not too long ago, Punggol was once a kampung complete with pig, poultry, and veggie farming.

Nobody bothered about the famous “Matilda House”. In fact, there were also some forgotten and abandoned colonial houses that nobody bothered to document. Join me to reminisce and try to find that long-lost beautiful country road that we once knew as “Punggol”.

We will meet at Punggol MRT station at 9 am on Jan 7th, 2024, Saturday. Take the escalator up to Exit C and meet me next to the UOB teller machine.

We will decide if we will include Coney Island after Uncle Chris has done the research, recce, and dry run. And, of course, there is no point in telling you that Punggol is now a modern riverfront digital community.
