On 26th of June, the last Sunday where Tanjong Pagar Railway Station was opened to public, my family and I paid a trip to this last railway station in Singapore. An old place it was, with a rustic feel that you could not get just anywhere else in Singapore. However, on that day itself, the station was crowded with lots of families trying to get the feel of the station before it is being renovated. My family and I tried the food in the station such as mee rebus and mee soto. The food were so different from that found outside and were very traditional.
