Introduction:

Snooker Zone (TPY) is established at 2004. The 7180 square feet salon is air-conditioned has 14 Original Riley Aristocrat Snooker Tables imported from UK using 6811 Tournament Cloth and 11 9 feet American Pool Tables using Joss (A588) running cloth. The tables and cues are well maintained and hence are at their tip top condition so that players will be able to perform to their utmost. They have 3 touch screen game machines and a snack bar at the side. Other than selling cues and accessories and have lockers for rental, they also provide coaching services.

Operating Hours:

11.00am to 3.00am daily

Charges:

Pool - $5.80 ~ $7.80

Snooker - $7.15 ~ $9.20

What's Good:

The tables are well maintained. I saw them dusting and cleaning them early in some random morning. I suppose they do that everyday.

The cues are unique and straight- with threading. This means better grip for the players.

The balls are well maintained. They are cleaned frequently and hence you seldom see chalk stains on them.

There is a 2 layered wooden box under every table for the players to safe keep their belongings.

The snack bar auntie comes round taking your orders and delivers food to your side table. Saves trouble walking to the counter and the food are also not expensive.

What's not so Good:
They have a toilet does not ventilate very well. It also kinda serve as a store.

The lift is not easy to find. FYI: It is located next to the security counter.

Introduction:
When Tiong Barhu Market has reopened in 2006, it is no longer not a market that is stinky. It has changed. One thing that has not changed is the nice food out there. Things has just changed for the better. all the Tiong Bahru favourites, including chwee kuay, fried kway tow and roasted meats, are still keeping the masses happy. There are 83 hawker stalls on the second storey of the three-storey building. The first storey - wet market and retail stalls) and there are 1,440 seats. 3^rd storey houses a roof-top car park which offers 120 lots. Don't know what to eat or which good food to attempt? Just look out for long queue!

What’s Good:

The food. There are so many choices there that one cant finish in a week!

The cleanliness - no longer wet and dirty and smelly.

Better facilities - Escalators, lifts and car park.

What’s not so Good:

Too much queue. Have to spend some time for good food.
