The curved 4-storey colonial bldg at no. 35 Robinson Rd was formerly called Mercury House and when I was there, it was called Telecom Bldg. I think the bldg is still there, but it's for commercial use now I think. I remember walking just across the road to the LPS for lunch frequently as it's so close to my office. During those years when I was there, LPS was actually a market and cooked foodstalls formed a small portion at the open space of the market. I used to order yong tau foo with a bowl of rice there. The price was about 70 cents. Of course, the market then I remember was unkempt and poorly maintained with rats/cockroaches even during day times. But who care then, ! That was S'pore of the good old days ! Even Singapore River was very fifty then! Really.FLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429286415685838183noreply@blogger.com
