Bricksworks is at Bt Merah, now splitted into Tanjong Pagar and West Coast GRC -
Brickworks is near Bukit Merah...
as for chicken rice stall, to me, the one that has the best chicken rice was in Margaret Drive.. Sin Kee Chicken..
however, the dude sold out to someone to retire... the new stall isn't very good..
the dude then could not sit still and opened another at Mei Chin Road or something like that....
GOOD chicken.. 15 years ago, they had the audacity to charge $22 a chicken.. and they moved 180 chickens on a bad day.. on a good day, they run out of chickens at around 400 chickens..Originally posted by littlestream:I know Pasir Panjang.
