We ♥ Toa Payoh
Urban Sketchers Singapore
Singapore: Epigram Books, 2012
ISBN: 9789810736231

The Urban Sketchers Singapore are an informal group of artists who draw the places they visit, capturing—on location—what they see from direct observation. In this first book in the Our Neighbourhoods series, the artists sketch the well-loved places in Toa Payoh, one of the first satellite neighbourhoods in Singapore.

Pore over the pages in this time capsule of a book to admire sketches of the famous Shuang Lin Monastery; the well loved Toa Payoh Garden; or the grand old dame that is the Toa Payoh Sports Hall and Swimming Complex. Or reminisce over the smaller nooks and crannies that come in the form of the old-timer Bugs Bunny barber shop, the long-time Lee Nam Kee chicken rice shop, and the bird singing corner at Lorong 4.
