"Balestier is a rich melting pot of hidden finds and local delicacies rich with history. Fancy a food trail that is sure to keep you satiated? Balestier has got you covered, with its famous bak kut teh, chicken rice, tau sar piah and even everyone’s favorite hawker dishes at Whampoa Hawker Centre and Whampoa Makan Place (both situated side by side). Along the main road are also the unmistakable rows of colorful shophouses which house lighting and electrical shops. Although a little off the beaten track (it's nestled between Toa Payoh and Lavendar), Balestier is an area that is definitely worth a visit if one wishes to experience the warmth of an atypical Singaporean Neighbourhood. A place where heritage meets modern, all within one of the most iconic places of sunny Singapore. Read on to find out more about the other unique locations around Balestier!" - Hyperakt
I'd say this is comfortably within the top 10-15 streets in Singapore. Top 3 if you're looking for lighting and/or tiles.
Good food (bak kut teh in particular), a couple of petrol stations, a couple of temples, innumerable lighting shops. A very delightful stretch of road altogether.

One of the heritage nodes in Singapore. Plenty choices of great food. Most properties being it commercial or residental are private. This making it challenging for major transformation across large scale of land. Hoping government could work out plans to improve the infrastructure and rejuvinate the area.
