Chua Chu Kang Community Club For Green Walls and fish and tortoises

When I reached my destination and the 190 bus dropped me right outside the Community Club. I was already in a good mood.

Food Choices
 If you arrive early for a meeting, you can go to the hawker centre (outdoor food court) beyond on the left of the building. Alternatively, use the McDonalds just inside the front on the left.

Greenery
This building has two striking features.
1 The low Chinese garden with colourful flowers and a small stone lantern.
2 The triple giant facades with greenery growing all over them.

Fish Pond
Like many Community Clubs, this one has a fish pond on the ground floor. I enjoyed watching the large pink and yellow and black fish shoot round and round.

Three tortoises sat so still on a tiny raised platform in the centre of the pond that I though they were a stone statue for decoration. Then one of them moved.

Getting there
The bus stop for the 190 bus from Bukit Panjang MRT and shopping malls is right outside. For the return bus, cross the road to the bus stop slightly to the left. you might think it's obvious to cross the road for the stop going in the opposite direction, but some Community Clubs are on a bus loop, so you can arrive and leave at the same stop.

Toilets
As is often the case in Singapore, the toilet paper is in a dispenser outside the cubicles.
