Toa Payoh West Market & Food Centre to close for 60-day renovation
Toa Payoh and Braddell residents, it is with great displeasure that I inform you that you have one less hawker centre to visit for the next 2 months. From 2 Jun to 31 Jul, West Market & Food Centre is temporarily closingh for renovations.
Established in 1969, this hawker centre is home to 40 cooked food stalls and 108 market stalls (and even an old-school aquarium!). It is conveniently located nerar Toa Payoh, Braddell and Caldecott MRT.
Though it might not be as popular as some neighbouring food spots, Toa Payoh West Market & Food Centre does boast some standout stalls, including Michelin Guide Chey Sua Carrot Cake and Come Daily Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee.
This upcoming round of repair & redecoration works will revamp the tables and chairs, as well as replace floor tiles to elevate your dining experience.
De Sheng, owner of Pure Soya Bean, intends to give his staff a long break to rest for these 2 months. In the meantime, he will focus on business at their 409 AMK Market And Food Centre outlet and Chun Chun Tian Mi at Serangoon Gardens, their sister traditional dessert stall.
Pure Soya Bean is known for their freshly made soya milk with unique variations, such as Matcha Green Tea Soya Milk (S$3.50) and Black Glutinous Rice Soya Milk (S$3). They also offer beancurd and grass jelly for a refreshing post-meal dessert.
Most, if not all, stalls in the hawker centre should reopen in Aug until further notice. It is unconfirmed which of the lot will be continuing business during this period of Toa Payoh West Market & Food Centre's renovation.
Regardless, you still have a week left to patronise these stalls before we bid a short farewell for 2 months. Be sure to head down and support your favourite hawkers while you still can!

Officials race to tow burning ship away from India coast to prevent 'ecological disaster'
The Indian Coast Guard is trying to tow a burning Singapore-flagged cargo ship away from the coast of Kerala in the Arabian Sea, to prevent "a potential ecological disaster". The Indian defence ministry on Wednesday said that the situation remains critical and efforts are under way to establish a tow line and pull the vessel away from the coast. The MV Wan Hai 503, which caught fire on Monday, is carrying 2,128 tonnes of fuel and hundreds of containers - including hazardous cargo - raising environmental concerns. Although visible flames have significantly reduced following firefighting efforts, the blaze remains active in the inner decks and near the fuel tanks, the ministry said. It added that five salvage team members and an aircrew diver have been sent to help with the towing operation. "The situation remains critical and is being monitored continuously." The vessel, which was heading to Mumbai city on India's western coast from Sri Lanka's capital Colombo, caught fire after an internal container explosion. Eighteen crew members have been rescued so far but four others are still missing and a massive rescue operation has been launched to find them. The Indian Coast Guard said that conditions at sea remain unfavourable and that their priority was to extinguish the fire and prevent a marine disaster. It has deployed five ships, two aircraft and a helicopter to help douse the fire. A separate salvage team appointed by the ship owner, along with two vessels from the shipping ministry, are also helping with the efforts. This is the second shipping incident to have happened off Kerala's coast in less than three weeks. Last month, a Liberian-flagged vessel carrying oil and hazardous cargo leaked and sank in the Arabian Sea, triggering an environmental emergency. The Kerala state government swiftly banned fishing within a 20-nautical mile radius of the shipwreck and announced compensation for families from fishing communities in four affected districts. An underwater operation has been launched to cap the ship's oil tank and salvage its fuel. Manorama News reported that on Wednesday, the Indian Ministry of Ports issued a formal notice to the vessel's management company, warning of legal action if extraction of oil from the ship is not started by Friday. "The progress made in this operation is grossly inadequate and continues to fall short of the timelines and operational commitments previously provided by the salvors and owners," it said.

Indian coastguard battles blaze on container ship
India's coastguard said Tuesday it was battling to stop a fierce blaze that has engulfed a Singapore-flagged container ship listing off the southern coast that broke out a day earlier. The 268-metre (879-foot) container vessel MV Wan Hai 503 carrying 22 crew members caught fire some 78 nautical miles off India's Beypore port on Monday. Eighteen crew members were rescued by the Indian coastguard and navy, with four still missing. Indian Coast Guard said Tuesday that "fires and explosions persist" on the vessel, which was tilting at around "10–15 degrees". They issued photographs that showed flames leaping from the stacked containers, with the ship surrounded by thick plumes of billowing black smoke. Initial images on Monday showed heavy containers that had seemingly been hurled up by a powerful explosion on board, with the coastguard saying that some were in the water. Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority had said there were "some injuries" among the crew. Coastguard vessels alongside the blackened and burning ship poured jets of water onto the flames, according to video footage released. The MV Wan Hai container ship is the second to run into trouble off India's southern coast within weeks. A Liberian-flagged container ship with hazardous cargo sank off the coast of Kerala on May 24. The Indian navy rescued all 24 crew members. bb/pjm/dhc
