Eat: Peck Hwan Eating House Porridge
Where: 75 Lor 5 Toa Payoh

Play: Dinosaur Playground
Where: 27 Toa Payoh E, Block 27
Less known than its nostalgic dragon cousin (you know which one) that’s been romanticized to death (you definitely know which one) lies the dinosaur playground at Kim Keat Avenue. This one comes with a 3-meter tall t-rex with her babies.
