I guess the efforts of the Save Joo Chiat Workgroup are paying off.
A slew of redevelopment has been taking place,
particular at the lower end nearer to Marine Parade.
There's a new bright-red ceramic art gallery over 3 floors,
Scanteak showroom amidst shophouses with black & white themes
and plenty of new seafood restaurants of course.
Even the open-air Joo Heng restaurant serving traditional
teochew dishes has gone upmarket with extensive renovation
and full air-conditioning.
If anyone is looking for a place in the east,
Joo Chiat is definitely worth considering.
