Toa Payoh Trail

Toa Payoh, once a vast stretch of swampy land back in the 1920s is now developed with blocks of high-rise flat and a mini shopping arcade. I lived in Toa Payoh since 17 years ago when I was born, there are too many memories to share. I remember when I was a child, I always like to whine and ask my mother to bring me out to Toa Payoh Central.

Have you heard of the 1st air-conditioned bus interchange in Singapore? It is actually the well-known bus interchange at Toa Payoh Central! Over there, you could discover great food at several restaurants and hawker centres, cheap bargains at shops located along the street (handphone shops especially because of the intense competition there) and many others. Talking about food, there is a wide variety of KFC, Mcdonald's, Crystal Jade Kitchen, Pasta Mania, Delifrance ... you could find them all over there! And if you would like to have a stroll after meals at this food paradise, Toa Payoh Garden located just opposite the interchange is the best option. You can have a glimpse of these places i mentioned below:

Not forgetting the famous tree temple which I always go with my family, it is still around with many people visiting each day.

Toa Payoh is my hometown - a pleasant heartland area to live in. It is full of memories of my family, neighbours, as well as those childhood playmates I used to have.

Hello everyone!!!I am so happy and honoured to contribute this trail.And it is first time i am blogging, so please forgive me if i make any mistakes :) Although i am studying in Toa Payoh,it is sad to say that i am not really familiar with Toa payoh... So i take my time surf internet to know more about Toa Payoh







I learn that Toa PayohTown Centre was the first prototype in Singapore. It is surrounded by separated neighbourhoods, each with its own shopping amenities and community centres, well served by a network of vehicular roads and generous open space separating them. The result, as in the English new towns of the 1950s, is that residents tend less to travel to the main town centre but rather to shop within their neighbourhood; if they travel, they go to Orchard Road or the town area via the MRT system, at the Toa Payoh MRT Station and the Braddel MRT Station, or public bus services at Toa Payoh Bus Interchange.








I really happy to know something about Toa Payoh and it has very interesting places.I am really glad that i study at Toa Payoh...And i really love my school,friends and teachers...I think Toa Payoh is really good place to live as it has every facilities and it is in the central of Singapore...
