In those days houses were built with wood and had a zine roof. Door and window retained the kampong feel.
Let's take a look at their kitchen. I found this kitchen at the back of the house - an open concept kitchen.
In Kampong Buangkok you do not get to hear the sound of zooming cars and the noisy street. Time seems to pass slowly, heartbeat is more relaxed. No need to quicken your foot pace, just take a stroll will do. Every breathe of air is fresh. Time to admire the nature...the trees and flowers
Some asked whether there were animals. I managed to capture only these...I guess government does not allow them to have cattle...so no pig, cow or sheep.
At the Kampong, you can see the high rise flats been built closer and closer to the kampong. Will the last kampong survive? I hope it will, for this generation and the generations to come.
Some might think a kampong is just an old and dirty place. They do have their own art and beauty. Some families have put in effort to decorate their walkways and gates.
How to get there:
Take bus 50, 70, 103 or 854 and alight at the bus stop Opposite St Vincent De Paul Church. Walk toward the Shell Station and down the slope, cross the bridge and walk in the small lane.
