This is not just an antique store. It is a little history museum. We were in the neighborhood and had this store on our list of places to check out. We are glad we did. Meeting the super-friendly owner, Patrick Phoa and chatting with him about some of the historical elements in his store was a delight.

Interesting story: The Straits Times AND The National Archives both did not have a copy of the newspaper announcing Lee Kwan Yoo s first election victory, while Patrick had.

We saw so many fascinating pieces of Singaporean / South East Asian history in this little store.

Patrick was such a gracious host and even gifted us a vintage postcard he originally published, which has become a collectible in its own right.

If you re into historical pieces, this store should be on your list.
