What you’ll do:
Rostered on standby to handle any cases in the night, the unsung heroes of the funeral industry at Toa Payoh are akin to the guardians of the night. Join tour guide Patrick Lee who will be bringing you to meet the faces behind Singapore Funeral Services and Ang Chin Moh Funeral Directors! End the tour at the Toa Payoh vegetable wholesale market as we look into a new day and the life that springs forth from dust.
Introduce yourself
Hello, I am Patrick! I am a trained industrial engineer, but I’ve always been fascinated by how culture moulds communities and in turn, how communities form a nation. Growing up in Toa Payoh, my parents were hawkers selling satay and western food beside the Philips factory. After 40 years, I still love the food of Toa Payoh, my favourite food being Tian Tian Lai Hokkien Prawn Mee at Lorong 1.
To me, Home is…
where you’ll want to come back to ultimately, no matter where life might have brought you to.
What is the difference in this place between day and night?
Toa Payoh feels different at night as the familiar hustle and bustle from daytime fades. For me, it is only in this quiet that we can really see and appreciate the unsung heroes who work through the night so come and join me to rediscover Toa Payoh after nightfall.
