Left stranded in the middle of Potong Pasir, the St. Andrew's Village, where Saints are mould. Places that seem impossible to miss out. Overcrowded coffeeshops at dismissal time, which allow us to hang out and share things we never had the chance to say in school, over the sumptuous and mouth-watering dishes. Fast food restaurants like KFC and Mcdonald's were the perfect place to grab a quick bite for breakfast before going to school, or having a meal in a air-conditioned environment after a hot and tiring day, or even for studying. The variety of food in this Neighborhood is extraordinary, with many Food Centre's ranging from Indian to Western to Mixed Vegetables. Cheaply priced Food And Co. are so simple to find that a 5 minutes walk from the MRT Station leads you to the ABC shop, the few shops that sell at the cheapest prices in Singapore. But not everything is about food, there are temples, churches and even a mosque. Just a stone's throw away from the housing estates. Bringing people to know more about religious teachings, and making it convenient for people to worship and pray. At the heart of the convenience is the Potong Pasir Community Centre, providing the needs of people in means such as Taekwondo classes, Basic English Classes and many more courses which are at an affordable price. Luxurious facilities that show the quality of this well kept central of Potong Pasir. Many outdoor activities and facilities for both old and young providing Tai Chi classes, a Classic sized Basketball Court and a rowdy and entertaining but welcoming Street Soccer Court, a small but well equipped Exercise Corner with an exclusive Spider Web, uncommonly seen in other neighborhoods. Transport is also not a problem due to the massive number of Buses that pass through that lead you all through Singapore. Just a few minutes on the MRT can bring you to Dhoby Ghaut, where shopping is one of the best and also to Serangoon where the newly opened NEX shopping centre has a variety of food and entertainment to offer! But still, for those loving the hustle and bustle of a dazzling city would not enjoy staying in this quiet and safe neighborhood. Another disappointment is that a Buddhist Temple is not available within walking distance, the nearest being in Toa Payoh. But still overall, the neighborhood of Potong Pasir is top out of a thousand!!
