Unexpectedly, I found myself without any lunch appointments today after a whirlwind of going out with other people, so I decided to check out the cheap necklaces at this shop I passed by. That didn't take too long, so I decided to walk near Amoy. I usually walk along Amoy Street all the way to Raffles Place, but today since I didn't actually have to get to Raffles Place I took a detour.
All this while, whenever I look for places to go for lunch, the website always recommended Ann Siang Hill/Street. Given that I had never seen the place (my team rarely ventures to Amoy for lunch) I assumed that it was very far away.
It wasn't actually, it was two streets away from Amoy! And we are talking Singapore streets here, which aren't very far apart. I had myself a very nice ramble along the hill (really just a raised bump on the land). I think this blog post summarises it better than I did, though I didn't go into any of the shops: Tinyisland's post on exploring Ann Siang Hill and Club Street.
Along the way I saw:
1) Office workers from the hidden offices in the shophouses
2) Couples
3) Two Westerners in exercise gear flipping a giant tire
4) Random Chinese guys just walking around
5) Huge joss sticks at the temple on the corner. I don't know what the occasion is though.
All in all, a rather fun use of my lunchtime.
