Tanjong Rhu Residents' Network

Green, green light, not grass 😄

Dear Tg Rhu Residents, we hope you’ve noticed how your journey out of Tg Rhu and while coming back home has become smoother. The traffic light 🚦 timings at the T junction of Camelot have been re-mapped so that they prioritise left turning traffic going out and straight and right turning traffic when inbound.

Huge thanks to Land Transport Authority – We Keep Your World Moving ltasg for working closely with us to implement this. This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our Adviser Gho Sze Kee 吴诗琪

As the Circle Line completes the circle on 12 July. Please do familiarise yourself with how it will work from then onwards.

Wonderful news just in.

KALLANG WAVE MALL TRANSFORMATION TO BRING ENGAGING EXPERIENTIAL CONCEPTS TO LIFE

We send our greetings to all our Residents who are celebrating this special day.

Warmest wishes for the Tamil New Year, and to the Sikhs, Malayalees, Bengalis and our other Indian communities in Singapore who celebrate major festivities today and tomorrow.

What’s there not to like about Briyani? Seen today as the quintessential Indian dish, but your race, religion or culture doesn’t matter.

And if, like me, you have gone off beef, there’s a choice of the ever-popular chicken briyani, or mutton, lamb or seafood briyani. Slow-cooked, so the rice is infused with the flavour of the meats and numerous spices.

My own choice these days is vegetable briyani – like in the photo, where jackfruit, still chewy, takes the place of meat. It’s in fact a fast growing, healthy and environmentally friendly choice* in India, where biryani is the most popular food order.

Briyani is also another example of a dish that crossed geographies and cultures. It is widely believed to have originated in Persia (today’s Iran), before making its way to the Indian subcontinent centuries ago. Each region in India then evolved their own, famous styles of biryani.

Southeast Asia has put its own riffs on the dish. Nasi briyani in Singapore and Malaysia is usually served with achar (pickled vegetables) or cooked slices of pineapple, and a generous amount of dalcha (lentil curry). In Indonesia, expect more coconut milk and local spices.

*Vegetable briyani is often made with a short-grain rice from Tamil Nadu – called ‘seeraga samba’. It is gluten-free and has a lower glycaemic index than many long grained white rice varieties. It is also grown with less water, which is getting to be in seriously short supply in rice-growing regions.

We live in a world full of digital forms of communications, which allow our Residents to communicate and share feedback with our Adviser Ms. Gho Sze Kee 吴诗琪 in a seamless manner. However, nothing beats an in person Chit Chat session. So as the RN we endeavour to organise one every quarter. Giving our Residents an opportunity to share their ideas and feedback with her. We had the latest one at Waterside.

Thanks to the MCST, Management Office for hosting us.
