manutd1972 1 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 Help~! Anyone knows where can i find good money changer at Jurong East area? i know there is one at IMM but the rates are bad... urgent help appreciated~ thanks!! i walked past one very small, seemingly run-down stall near the veggie stalls at St 41 side. didnt notice the block number, but should be ard 49x, where they hv a lot of shophouses. it's a very small stall. more like half the size of a typical shophouse stall. quite dark, no big signboard, quite easy to miss if you're not specifically looking for it. it's near a corner unit. sorry i cant help wif more info. hope u can find it.

manutd1972 1 Report post Posted February 16, 2011 recently i tried the hokkien mee at Blk 155 Bt Batok mentioned by someone here. quite nice. more bee hoon than yellow mee. and a bit wet, so tabao shld be quite ok. also tried the char kway teow next to it. i wld say it's average, compared to the Beach Road one. no veggie at all also, but overall taste still ok. considering we dun hv any of these 2 dishes here, they're the next best thing nearby.

Ever since i quit public transport, i have not stepped near the jurong east MRT for years. The Popular bookstyore at IMM serves me well. Recently i went to the retail area beside the ex JEC, goodness... that's like the JB equivalent state of shops there. Nothing much to offer amid the quite rundown surroundings. Also there are two NTUCs within walking distance of each other, god knows for what reason. I hope the upcoming shopping centers around that area will bring with them new life for that dingy strip.

I hope the upcoming shopping centers around that area will bring with them new life for that dingy strip. the Popular in IMM is smaller.... btw among those shops you're talking about, there is one salon that offers $4.90 haircut, my hubby has been going there for haircut, quite good leh no difference (or even better than) QB house if you ask me can even purchase "package" - $20 for 5 haircuts or something like that the 2nd NTUC you're talking about (near to Ivory Height side) just opened around 1 yr ago and is very small. it was previously a Shop n Save.... we see it as a "business" decision to "eliminate" competitors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
