Take a stroll down memory lane by seeking out these sights and sounds
Recently, Hougang has been under the spotlight for drawing in swarms of Pokémon hunters.
However, the residential town situated in the north-east region of Singapore, is much more than a gaming hot spot.
Once a forested area populated with pig-rearing farms, Hougang Town has since transformed into a charming heartland, full of great eats and buzzing activity.
According to the Housing Development Board (HDB), it is also the largest HDB new town in Singapore, with most of its commercial activities centered around the shopping malls.
To fully discover Hougang, we recommend taking a day out to explore these iconic spots:

2. KangKar Village
Location: Serangoon Park Connector
If your grandparents lived near KangKar Village in the 1970s, the bustling wholesale fish market would have been a familiar memory for them.
While the village had already been demolished in 1984 and relocated to Woodlands, the scenic view of the Serangoon river is certainly worth a cycling trip down the Serangoon Park Connector.
