This week, we’re back in the East at Frankel Avenue. My first thought on seeing the area was “Hmmm, this reader has a bigger budget!” If you’re wondering why, the tour of Frankel Avenue was actually requested by a reader and many of the houses there are big semi-Ds and detached houses.
The streets are less cluttered, have fewer parking problems, and are easier to drive through. Note, I’m not saying every road is spacious, but that, in general, the roads are less crowded than other estates with smaller houses As mentioned previously, Frankel Terrace is the Northernmost “Frankel” street and thus closest to the busy Changi Road.
Frankel Avenue reminds me of a less busy version of 6th Avenue. It’s quite a busy road: there are two car lanes in each direction, so four in total. There is also a Caltex station on Frankel Avenue and an Esso at the junction where it meets East Coast Road. Along East Coast Road, there are obviously many more eateries, such as Isa Your Local Izakaya Bar, Fu Lin Tofu Yuen, Beach Road Prawn Noodle House, etc! There are bridges to help you cross to the other side easily and that connects you to Telok Kurau and Joo Chiat Place.
Only one-two look like they’ve been rebuilt. Note that across the Park Connector from these terrace houses is an Old Folks Home and a temple. Regarding places of worship, although I didn’t see a mosque on Frankel Avenue , there are several North of Frankel Avenue. The closest, Masjid Kassim is barely a five-10 minute stroll away.
