11 stalls to satisfy your cravings at Marine Parade's Promenade Market @ 84
After you've had your fun at East Coast Park, who should you call? Well, it's certainly not the Ghostbusters, because Marine Parade's hawker centre — Promenade Market @ 84 — is within walking distance. I've been visiting this hawker centre since my primary school days (any Tanjong Katong Primary kids here?), hitting up dessert stalls and economic bee hoon after CCA. It felt like something was missing in my life during its renovation, but Promenade Market made its comeback with a brighter and airier setting, so it's a win in my book. If you're new to the Marine Parade area, why not join me as I make a list of 11 stalls you should pay a visit to? From mains to drinks and snacks, we'll go through them all! Another stall that returned after Marine Parade hawker centre's renovation is Neptune Hong Kong Dim Sum. Serving cha dian, or afternoon tea treats, in bamboo baskets is part of their 30-year heritage. The golden trio of Xiao Long Bao (S$4.30), Steamed Shrimps Dumpling (S$4.30) and Siew Mai (S$4.20) will be my top pick any day. When I tell you Neptune Hong Kong Dim Sum does it right, I mean it. The fillings of all their dumplings are fresh, the shrimp have a crunch and the meats are sooo juicy. To end the meal with dessert, the Crispy Durian Spring Roll (S$5.20) is perfect. The smooth mashed durian encased in brittle fried batter is where it's at. Packed with a crunch, the durian itself is not too sweet, giving a mellow yet rich aftertaste to each bite. +65 9005 4894 Thu to Tue: 7am – 7pm Closed on Wed Let me introduce a duck rice stall that's been at Marine Parade hawker centre for more than 40 years. Kun Ji has been hanging up succulent roast ducks at their store since the '80s, and they don't plan on stopping. Of course, I had to get a plate of their signature Braised Duck Rice (S$5). The duck meat is juicy and tender, pairing perfectly with the rice. With added Tau Kua (S$0.70) that's silky and drenched in braising liquid, this plate is worth the queue. If duck is not your thing, you could try their Char Siew Roasted Pork Rice (S$5). With sweet char siew and smoky roasted pork, this plate features the best of both worlds. The punch of umami from the meats is absorbed and balanced by the bed of white rice it's served on. To round up your meal, Kun Ji also provides a bowl of complimentary soup rich with rendered duck fat. Simmered with herbs and spices, this soup is refreshing yet packed with flavour. Mon: 10.30am – 5pm Wed, Fri to Sun: 9.30am – 7pm Thu: 10am – 7pm Closed on Tue Regulars at Defu Lane will know about the first-ever outlet of Soon Lee Fish Soup. Now, don't worry, you won't have to travel all the way to Kovan for their seafood soup. Featuring a clear, light soup made by simmering various cuts of seafood, garlicky chilli, Fish Maw (S$2) and a bowl of Rice (S$0.50), this meal reminds me of my childhood. Chinese-style soups will never be replaced in my heart, and this Sliced Pomfret Fish Soup (S$5.50) shows you exactly why. The sweet, meaty flesh releases its natural umami into the broth, highlighting the freshness of the pomfret. You don't get distracted by any other ingredients; it's just you and the fish. Only after you have an unadulterated taste of the fish can you dip a slice in the chilli. With a spicy kick, you get a new and refreshing bite that pairs so well with the rice. Even if you're not in the mood for rice, Soon Lee Fish Soup also offers 5 other carb options including mee sua and thick bee hoon. Daily: 9.30am – 8.30pm Now that we're talking about noodles, how could we not talk about fishball noodles? With pockets of salty soup trapped in 'QQ' fish paste, this is what OG Singaporeans think of when noodles are mentioned. At Fei Yuan Teochew Noodle, fishballs and minced meat ring a harmonious tone in sleek chilli oil and piping hot soup. The Teochew Fishballs Mee (S$4.50 for Regular, S$5.50 for large) brings the full package: fishballs, fried fishcake and minced meat on noodles of your choice. The thick mee pok is my top pick here, as its wide surface allows chunks of minced meat to stick on. Plump and smothered with sauce, every bite is absolutely addicting. If you're looking for more types of fishcake, get a steaming bowl of their Yong Tau Foo (S$5.50). But if you can't live without spice, go for the Laksa Yong Tau Foo (S$6.50) with creamy coconut milk that balances the sharp tang of chillies. If there's one thing to remember, it's to stop and read the menu here. With fishballs, meatballs, yong tau foo and laksa, you're missing out if you think this is a simple noodle stall! Order Delivery: foodpanda Daily: 7am – 5pm Facebook The day I forget about noodles as a main carb choice is the day I stop being human. Ban mian, from dry to soup, seafood to meat and all kinds of veggies, is the love of my life. It's a versatile ingredient, especially when it's cooked at Marine Parade hawker centre's 77 Ban Mian. This dry version of Seafood Ban Mian (S$5.50) is tossed in savoury sauce and silky chilli oil for the most indulgent slurp of your life. Topped with prawns, fried fish, anchovies and kang kong, this is a meal that makes sure you finish every bite. Don't be fooled by the name 77 Ban Mian, because mee hoon kuey is also served here. Chewy, starchy dough is pressed into thin sheets, ripped into bite-sized pieces and boiled in the same flavourful broth as the ban mian. While they do serve the classic Mee Hoon Kuey (S$4), doesn't the Tom Yum Mee Hoon Kuey (S$5.50) catch your attention too? Don't get me wrong, I still love my clear Chinese-style soups, but the idea of a sour and spicy broth soaking into squares of mee hoon kuey is too hard to resist. Mon to Sat: 7.30am – 8pm Closed on Sun Yong Huat Delight: $3 chee cheong fun made from scratch by milling own rice at Marine Parade How could I think of snacks without thinking of kueh? Sweet or savoury, chewy or soft, these pieces of traditional treats are well-loved by many. With its 32 outlets island-wide, you know you're getting quality kueh at Jian Bo Shui Kueh. Their signature Jian Bo Shui Kueh (S$5.50 for 5) presents chunky chai po, or preserved white radish, atop soft rice cakes. The crunchy pickled radish lends the mellow kueh a saltiness, ending in mild sweetness that leaves you wanting more. If you're looking for a sweet treat after your meal, you could dabao their Ang Ku Kueh Peanut (S$5.40 for 3). The chewy glutinous rice skin of the ang ku kueh gives way to sweet and fragrant ground peanut filling. If you're craving that mochi pull, come get a bite at Promenade Market! Order Delivery: foodpanda Deliveroo For a list of locations and opening hours, please click here. Facebook | Instagram | Website Pastries and cakes will never be left out of the dessert hall of fame! Bakersmith whips up fresh buns and cakes such as the childhood favourite Mini Chicken Hotdog Bun (S$4.50 for 4) and fluffy Pandan Chiffon Cake (S$5 for 4 slices). Apart from regular buns and pastries, Bakersmith sells velvety frosted cakes as well. From the oldie-but-goodie delights to modern fan favourites, there's a wealth of flavours to choose from. Their Classic Cakes start from S$45 for 0.5kg, and there are promotions on their website that drop the price down to S$38. Furthermore, they also deal with customisation for birthday and celebration cakes, making Marine Parade hawker centre a convenient spot for you to visit when planning events. Order Delivery: foodpanda +65 8031 1162 Daily: 8am – 6pm Facebook | Website During my visit to Promenade Market, I was given a sample of Cha Mulan's Radiant Mulan (S$4.90) and was immediately sold. Each sip is enhanced by chewy peach gum and sweet Goji berries. The store's concept revolves around replacing bubble tea toppings with ingredients commonly found in traditional Chinese medicine. Delicious tea with health benefits? Sign me up. I ended up going for the Cleanse Mulan (S$4.90) with Artisan White Peach Tea, poached Asian pear and snow fungus. Since I'd just finished a large meal with my family, I was looking for a refreshing drink that could cut through the grease. Every sip was faintly sweet and packed with soft chunks of pear and snow fungus. I liked the texture of the pear that melted in my mouth, which contrasted well against the crunchy snow fungus. +65 8931 1288 Mon to Fri: 10am – 8pm Sat & Sun: 9am – 8pm For a list of outlets, please see their Instagram page. Facebook Nasi lemak is a staple on the Singaporean lunch menu. Filling, sedap and fully customisable, D'Authentic Nasi Lemak does it all. It's another one of the stalls that returned after the renovation period, returning stronger than ever with a newly designed signboard. With more than 30 years of experience and a second outlet selling mee rebus just a few stalls down, you know that they're frequented by tons of people. Instead of selling set-style nasi lemak, D'Authentic Nasi Lemak leaves the choices up to you. All ingredients are a la carte, which means less time debating over different set menus and more time for eating. I'm personally a fan of this arrangement since I can cater the portions to my appetite. With 18 toppings including deep-fried chicken wings (S$1.50), fried eggs (S$0.60) and tempe (S$0.80), don't worry about not finding a combo you like. They even have begedel (S$0.80), golden discs of mashed potato mixed with a blend of aromatics and fried to crispy perfection. But, of course, the heart and soul of nasi lemak lies in its rice and sambal. D'Authentic Nasi Lemak enriches its rice with pandan leaves and coconut milk for an almost floral fragrance, a perfect backdrop for the juicy, tender chicken. While its sambal is salty and rich, don't underestimate the spice that peeks through after you savour its umami. Sat to Thu: 7am – 2pm Closed on Fri Are you even human if you don't get a drink with your meal? Coffee Queen is my go-to for classic teh and kopi that accompanies every few bites of my food. Though Coffee Queen is its name, many left great reviews for the super 'gao' Teh (S$1.20 for Hot, S$1.90 for Iced). Available as Teh C (S$1.30 for Hot, S$2 for Iced) and Teh O (S$1.10 for Hot, S$1.50 for Iced) as well, take your pick and wash down your meal. With 30 renditions of classic drinks and modern beverages on the menu, your throat will most definitely stay hydrated while you're eating at Marine Parade hawker centre! Daily: 6.45am – 6pm If you're looking for something easier on the stomach, why not try out New World Congee? This thick and creamy congee recipe has been around since 1958, a gem passed down through 4 generations. Fish, pork and chicken toppings are included in their extensive menu. If you're looking for something light and fragrant, you can get the Scallion Congee (S$4 for Small, S$5 for Regular, S$6 for Large). You can also get a crunchier, textured bite from their Peanut Minced Meat Congee (S$4 for Small, S$5 for Regular, S$6 for Large). Topped with crispy youtiao, fried shallots, fresh coriander and chives, there's no doubt every mouthful will be bursting with flavour. A generous scoop reveals sunken meats coated by smooth congee slick with sesame oil. Slices of century egg bring a depth to the congee's flavour profile with its creamy richness. A simple dish that warms the stomach, New World Congee makes you crave their recipes even when it's hot outside. Sat to Thu: 10am – 4pm & 5.30 – 8pm Closed on Fri 33 best places to grab some grub in the food haven of Katong & East Coast [Dec 2024 update] The post 11 stalls to satisfy your cravings at Marine Parade's Promenade Market @ 84 appeared first on

Mr Seah, who is Member of Parliament for Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC, has served as Speaker since 2023. Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Indranee Rajah will remain Leader of the House, while Senior Minister of State Zaqy Mohamad will continue as Deputy Leader, the Prime Minister's Office announced on Friday (Jun 20).

Although the Speaker need not be an MP, he or she must possess the qualifications to stand for election as an MP. In carrying out his or her duties, the Speaker must remain impartial and fair to all MPs. The Speaker regulates and enforces the rules of debate, deciding who has the right to speak and putting the questions for the House to debate and vote on. The Speaker does not take part in the debates of the House, but can abstain or vote for or against a motion if he or she has an original vote as an elected member. He or she has no casting vote. The Speaker is overall in charge of the administration of parliament and acts as the representative of the House.

Singapore Pools Toto draw results for 16 June; Estimated $10 million jackpot
SINGAPORE — The winning numbers for the Singapore Pools Toto draw on Monday (16 June) is 48, 32, 27, 49, 5 and 18, with the additional number being 21. There were no winners for Group 1 which means the $5,614,761 prize amount will snowball to Thursday's draw (19 June at 9.30pm). The Group 2 winnings of $94,294 had six winning shares. These winning tickets were sold at: NTUC FairPrice Parkway Parade – 80 Marine Parade Road #03-28 Parkway Parade (QuickPick System 10 Entry) NTUC FairPrice Rivervale Mall – 11 Rivervale Crescent #03-01 Rivervale Mall (QuickPick System 7 Entry) PFG Framing & Trading – Block 960 Jurong West Street 92 #01-182 (QuickPick System 7 Entry) Singapore Pools Account Betting Service (QuickPick System 7 Entry) Singapore Pools Chinatown Point Branch – 133 New Bridge Road #B1-06 Chinatown Point (QuickPick Ordinary Entry) Cheers Bedok North Street 3 – Block 539 Bedok North Street 3 #01-625 (Ordinary Entry) Singapore Pools estimates the next Toto jackpot to be $10 million. Toto was launched in 1968 as the first lottery game in the history of Singapore Pools. The game got its name from a combination of the words 'Totalisator' and 'Lotto'. The current format of Toto sees six winning numbers and one additional number drawn from 49 numbers (1 to 49) every Monday and Thursday. The jackpot sum begins from $1,000,000. A snowballing feature, which allows for the prize to increase if there are no winners, was introduced to the game in 1981. The System Entry option, where you can pay to be able to pick more numbers, was added later that year. The winning numbers for Singapore Pools Toto draw on Thursday (12 June) is 3, 7, 38, 41, 44 and 49, with the additional number being 20. There were no winners for Group 1 and the prize amount of $2,927,384 will be snowballed to the next draw. The Group 2 winnings of $114,469 will be split between three winning shares. The Group 2 winning tickets were sold at: Golden Lagoon Trading – Block 136 Marsiling Road #01-2182 (1 QuickPick System 8 Entry) Tay Sui Lan Agency – 11 Collyer Quay #02-13 The Arcade (1 QuickPick System 7 Entry) Singapore Pools Account Betting Service – (1 System 7 Entry) The draw also marked the first for Toto Match, a new fixed-bet game by Singapore Pools. Toto Match, unlike in traditional Toto where players can win from jackpot prize, pays out a fixed prize amount per dollar bet. In Toto Match, you can pick between two and four numbers from 1 to 49. A player will win if all their selected numbers are included in the six winning numbers of the Toto draw. For every dollar bet, players can win $50 for two matched numbers, $500 for three numbers and $7,000 for four numbers. Additionally in Toto Match, you can also try choosing just one number from 1 to 49. Here, a player wins $30 for every dollar bet if this number matches the additional number in the Toto draw. However, in both scenarios you must place a Toto Match bet to be eligible as placing a normal Toto bet will not qualify for these prizes. Singapore Pools says that 54% of sales in each draw are added to the Toto prize pool. Your winnings from the pool is dependent on which prize group you land in after the draw reveals the winning numbers. Prize group Matching numbers Prize Group 1 (Jackpot) 6 winning numbers 38% of prize pool (Minimum guarantee of $1,000,000) Group 2 5 winning numbers + additional number 8% of prize pool Group 3 5 winning numbers 5.5% of prize pool Group 4 4 winning numbers + additional number 3% of prize pool Group 5 4 winning numbers $50 Group 6 3 winning numbers+ additional number $25 Group 7 3 winning numbers $10 The odds of winning the Toto jackpot (6 winning numbers) are one in almost 14 million, according to Singapore Pools. Prize group Matching numbers Odds of winning Group 1 6 winning numbers 1 in 13,983,816 Group 2 5 winning numbers+ additional number 1 in 2,330,636 Group 3 5 winning numbers 1 in 55,491 Group 4 4 winning numbers+ additional number 1 in 22,197 These figures are available on the Singapore Pools website. Singapore Pools has a prize calculator for Toto which you can find here. The Group 1 prize amount will not snowball beyond the fourth consecutive draw. If there is no Group 1 winner at the end of four consecutive draws, the final jackpot amount (38% of the fourth draw's prize pool plus snowballed amount from the three preceding draws) cascades, i.e. it will be paid to the next prize group with winner(s) and shared equally. Prize amounts for Group 2, 3, and 4 will snowball until it is won. Statistics from Singapore Pools includes lottery draws from 9 October 2014 onwards when Toto was updated to the current 6-out-of-49 format. According to their data, the biggest jackpot prize was $19,416,913 which was drawn on 11 February, 2022. The $19.4 million jackpot had eight winning shares which means the winning share amount worked out to over $2.4m each. A nice sum but nowhere close to the biggest winning shares in Toto history which came in at over $13m on two separate occasions. This happened first on 2 October in 2023 when a single winning share took home $13,077,918. In May last year, another lucky individual had the sole winning share of a very cool $13,123,509 jackpot.

When the Majestic reigned no more
From left to right: the Edward, Fern Villa (Majestic) and the Ards gaze over the paddling pond at Ocean Beach, circa 1914. Image: Supplied THERE is a wonderful old photograph taken during one of the last summers before the First World War erupted so suddenly in 1914. It shows three hotels on Durban's Marine Parade standing confident in their Edwardian splendour overlooking the children's paddling pool and Ocean Beach beyond. The hotels are the Edward (opened in 1911), Fern Villa (later renamed the Majestic) and the Ards's which was not actually a hotel but provided short - term accommodation in a choice location. Hard as it is to believe, the recently laid out Marine Parade had not originally been a desirable location. Durban's main swimming beaches had been at Congella and in the Bayside, where the Marine Hotel held court on the Victoria Embankment. True there was one hotel on Ocean Beach, the appropriately named Beach Hotel, which advertised itself in the 1890s as 'the only hotel in Durban facing the sea'. Postcards of the Fern Villa could be found at the Reception for guests to post to their friends and family. Image: Supplied What is omitted to mention was that to actually reach the sea, the extensive sand dunes had to be negotiated. That difficulty was to be resolved after 1904 when the Town Council began to clear the dunes and develop the area by laying out lawns and building a bathing pond. These proved to be a great attraction, not only to the public but also to prospective hoteliers, one of whom was Mrs JC Young. If anyone understood the hotel industry, it was Mrs Young. She already owned and managed the 62 bedroom Fern Villa Hotel on the corner of Smith and Aliwal Streets, which unusually for the time had an American novelty - a roof garden. There guests could relax at night time, watching 'the moon rising over the ocean and the lights of the Berea twinkling like fairy lamps.' The Fern Villa during World War 1. Image: Supplied The foundations of the Edward Hotel had barely been dug when Mrs Young decided the future lay on the Marine Parade. She purchased the plot next door and built a new Fern Villa. A year after the Edward had opened, the Fern Villa had its own grand opening in 1912. As with her original hotel, Mrs Young knew the value of advertising. In the 1914 'Guide to South and East Africa' published annually for the Union Castle Mail Steamship Company, there is a full page advert for 'Durban's Newest Hotel' where guests could sit on deep balconies overlooking the Promenade with a 'full and comprehensive view of the beach and ocean- the finest balconies in Africa.' A 1945 advert for the Majestic Hotel Image: Supplied If that was not enough, her hotel also had hot and cold baths, a lift, electric lights and a bus which fetched guests from all trains and steamers. Once the war broke out, most leisure travel was suspended with many ships commandeered for use as troop carriers. But in those last seasons, visitors flocked to Ocean Beach where they enjoyed Military Bands (which played twice daily), Punch and Judy shows and beach sports. One photo of the 1912 Christmas Carnival shows a boys' relay race. The boys are wearing long trousers, long sleeved shirts and ties, while the men are in three piece suits - all on a hot, humid December day!. The 31 Club menu for their Buffet /Dance Fern Villa evening. Image: Supplied After the war, the Fern Villa was sold to Mr E.T. Church in 1921. He renamed it the Majestic, enlarged it in 1928 by adding a new wing and a covered parking area in Brancombe Place where luggage and cars were taken attendants. With 112 bedrooms and 20 luxurious suits, accommodation was ' equal to the most fastidious demands'. The Fern Villa presides over the Boy's Relay race at the Christmas Sports, December 1912. Appropriate Edwardian dress fully observed. Image: Supplied After the death of Mr Church senior in 1932, his son took over the hotel, priding himself not only on cuisine guests enjoyed at the Majestic, but also the attention to detail behind the scenes: no creaking doors, stiff drawers or absence of clothes hangers. It remained a leading hotel after the Second World War. The 1945 Lawries Directory lists the Marine, Edward, Majestic and Royal Hotels as some of Durban's leading hotels. A 1960s postcard taken from a similar vantage as the 1914 photo. From left to right : the "new" Edward (opened in 1939), the "old" Edward Causerie of 1911, the Majestic and High Wycombe which replaced the Ards in the 1950s. The two original hotels look somewhat less confident. Neither would survive much longer. Image: Supplied By the early 1960s, some of its prestige had begun to fade. Guests expected private bathrooms with every room, not just the suites. Both the Edward and Royal Hotels met that demand and remained the most expensive hotels with the beach, Claridges and Endenroc not far behind. The Majestic, like the Marine, were priced more as a family hotel. The end was not far off: in 1968 it was announced that the hotel would close with demolition to begin in March 1969. A veranda cluttered with bathroom fittings during the demolition of the Majestic, April 1969. Image: Supplied The Majestic did not go quietly. The 31 Club held a buffet/dance to raise money for the William Clark Children's Home in Sherwood on February 15,1969. In honour of the hotel's original name, the Fern Villa Dinner recalled those heady days of 1912. 'Everywhere brass gleamed, ferns and aspidistras flourished, a honky tonk band played and ostrich feathers fluttered. Outside, two 1912 automobiles were parked.' Soon after, the Majestic closed its doors for the last time. There is a set of four photographs taken in early April 1969 of the hotel in its death throes, invoking both nostalgia and sadness that so majestic a building would ever be torn down. On the Victoria Embankment, the Marine met the same fate in 1972. The Majestic name still visible on the entrance door, April 1969. Image: Supplied A brochure in 1912 described Durban as the Brighton of South Africa. When one again looks at that pre - World War 1 photo of those three hotels, one could not imagine that they could ever be knocked from their perch. Yet none survived. The first to go was the Ards in 1950/1, followed by the Majestic in 1969 and finally the old Edward in 1977. Known as the Edward Causerie,it had traded alongside the ' new' Edward since the latter had opened in1939. The final days of the Majestic Hotel, April 1969. Image: Supplied

New Directional Arrows On The Way For Marine Parade Coastal Pathway
Press Release – Tauranga City Council Works are scheduled to take place the week of Monday, 9 June and are expected to take three days, weather dependent. Hours of work will be from 8.30am to 4.30pm each day. During this time, small sections of the pathway will have temporary pedestrian … Tauranga City Council will soon begin work to improve the experience for users of the Marine Parade coastal pathway by sandblasting directional arrows onto the surface using garnet — a natural, environmentally friendly mineral abrasive. Works are scheduled to take place the week of Monday, 9 June and are expected to take three days, weather dependent. Hours of work will be from 8.30am to 4.30pm each day. During this time, small sections of the pathway will have temporary pedestrian detours in place to ensure safety. Since its opening in 2023, the Marine Parade coastal pathway has become a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, with hundreds of people enjoying it each day. With increased use, Council has received feedback highlighting challenges around path sharing, particularly during peak times. The addition of directional arrows along the pathway between Pacific Avenue and Oceanbeach Road will serve as a friendly reminder to keep left, ensuring a smoother journey for all.
