When this enclave opened 2 decades ago, a sheltered historic conservation houses for food and entertainment right next to the prime business area, it came with much fanfare and near a decade of great food and lunch crowds during the day, and some hot pubbing scene after office hours. A decade ago the place started to go downhill as trends, new watering hole places more popular and crowds moved on. Weekday lunch was bustling though. Weekends dead and quiet as offices closed and there were no events or activities to attract weekenders. Now comes 2020 pandemic. Even in phase 2 opening many are working from home. Pictures posted are of peak lunch hours. Thus after office would be worse. Buildings and historical house still well maintained and nice, the ambience chill and cool. But sad to see the businesses here will struggle to survive. Plenty of food choices from local Prawn Mee to Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Westerns gourmet and pub grub. How many will soon shutter before the Pandemic is over.
