Admiralty Place

Blocks 678 - 678A Woodlands Ave 6

Are your heartland malls too far from where you stay? Too expensive? Too crowded? There's always a neighbourhood plaza at your service. Last week, Wabbithan visited the Admiralty Place and scouted some neighbourhood gems that I haven't seen them for ages after moving to a new town.

1. Wet Market.

Wet market these days are getting harder to survive with the introduction of new grocery concept like supermarket or even online mart like Red Mart. I could foresee the extinction wet market in 20-30 years time.

I used to dislike wet markets, the smell of the fish, the slippery floor, the stuffy environment, however, as I grew older, I started to appreciate the human touch that only wet markets can give.

2. Clothing store.

I always think that neighbourhood clothing store are outdated and are targeted at the gramps. But, I was totally wrong. Without having going to the town area or the nearby heartland malls, I can actually get pretty much fashionable clothing at a lower rate in Admiralty Place!

3. The 'Neighbourhood drugstore'

Even though there are known drugstore in Admiralty Place, I spotted this Neighbourhood drugstore at on of the corner. Unlike the Watsons these 'branded' drugstore, Neighbourhood drugstore provides a lot more daily necessities from detergents to toiletries, to hair accessories!

4. Shoes.

You will be amazed by the types of shoes KARA has, ranging from work wears, causal footwear, slippers and school schools for people from all walks of life! I suspect that they have more varieties than BATA.They even have school bags for the little ones!

5. Bakery Store.

Baker Talents are one of the bakery stalls that spreads all over neighbouring estates. I love to get my breakfast from this Baker Talents, because its cheap and yummylicious! Not just that, it saves me the trouble of squeezing through crowds to grab my bread from the tray myself. Other than Bake Talents, there are 2 more other Bakery Stall available.
