Forfar Heights and Redhill Market Walking Tour

Forfar Heights, one of HDB’s later projects at Queenstown is a favored location for many HDB real estate hunters. The value of this location plays a very important part on anyone’s wish-list.

Not many of us notice it actually sits atop a little hill, and though some marvel at the English flavor of the gardens, not all of us know it is really Scottish. The generation before us called this place “Lam Po Lay”, meaning blue glass – possibly because of the blue glass used on the earlier buildings. This place carries a rich history around the enclave here – Dawson Road, Buller Terrace and Strathmore Avenue.

Leng Kee Road is famously known as the car belt district. Most major car companies are here. We take a look at some of the reasons why they all congregate here. Redhill Market, at the other end, is a short throw away.

There is a reason why Redhill is named “Redhill” – from old grandmothers’ stories to mythology, to folk tales, and, the truth, - we’ll try and reason them all. We’ll all agree the satay bee hoon here at Redhill Market is worth queueing for. And you will decide if the chicken wings are still really good enough for our PM.

We meet at 9am on the 26th October 2024 (SATURDAY) at Queenstown MRT. Upon alighting, take Exit B to your left and meet me at Taxi Stand F44.
