Can't Find Your Usual Snack In Geylang?

Most probably they have moved due to sky-rocket rentals, and some have set up their stalls elsewhere in Geylang.

Businesses between Lor1 and Lor25 are moving out as rents have doubled or even tripled, because of the 'red light districts'. Many men come from all over S'pore hang out at coffeeshops to look at or chat with the girls. Thus, many businessmen would want to open coffeeshops there due to high human traffic.

One casualty of high rental is Tanjong Rhu Pau. Its 1,600 sf space rental has increased from $9k/mth to $30k/mth. No choice, it has moved to a new location at Lor34 for just $4.5k/mth. Yong He Eating House, famed for its Taiwanese beancurd and youtiao, has to give up its 2,200 sf unit near Lor9 when the rent increased from $20k/mth to $40k/mth. Now, it pays only $28k/mth for a 3,600 sf unit at Lor27A. Though they may lose some customers, but given a cheaper rent, a better environment and ease of parking, it may just take time for the customers to find them and come back.

Where can you find them now ... ...
(1) Tanjong Rhu Pau - Corner of Guillemard Rd and Lor34.
(2) Yong He Eating House (Taiwanese beancurd & youtiao) - Lor 27A
So just keep your eyes wide open and hunt your favourite food/snack down in the lesser known Geylang lorongs.
