Live Turtle Museum at 11 Chencharu Close The Gentle Motivation Behind the Visit The Live Turtle Museum reopened at its new location on August 23, 2026. By a heartbreaking coincidence, that very same week, I lost my beloved baby of 26 years . Just a week later, while still deep in grief, I decided to make the trip. Being just a short bus ride from my house in Yishun, it felt close enough to reach out and a touch of familiar comfort. But stepping inside brought a flood of conflicting emotions. I found myself looking at all these gentle creatures living, breathing, and thriving, while my own one and only was gone forever. It sparked a strange, heavy mix of feelings that I hope people can pardon, as grief naturally makes the heart process things in complex ways. Tucked next to HomeTeamNS Khatib and surrounded by the ongoing construction of upcoming BTOs, the site carries a sense that it may not be their permanent home for long. It made me think of how stressful moving from place to place ...
Finally got to try out this place after a year of wait. We can't catch up with changes at times but at least we tried. One shot met my ladies for dinner here. Not far from Lavendar MRT, you need to navigate your way here. Realized after dinner, there was another shop selling Taiwanese food called Eat 3 Bowls just few units away from Feima. Actually this block 462 itself have a few interesting cafes. Next round I shall go try.
Who miss Taiwanese night markets? This sight was missed for the past 2 years plus. Been to Raohe Night Market before and it was so crowded with people and food (of course all their night markets are crowded, not sure about now). The 胡椒饼 is a must try there and I did saw long queue back then I was there.
They played old songs from Jay Chou, Vivian Hsu and many more (in the loop) and all these Taiwanese vibes running in this shop. Totally love it!
A sauce bar for you to DIY your own sauce or dip to go with your food. I'm not a sauce or dip person as I believe in having on its own. Unless really tasteless then I will go for some but not a lot.
This self-served fridge full of Taiwan beverages. My favourite 麦香红茶 that I would drink in Taiwan, Sarsaparilla that tasted like Sarsi or Rootbeer and Apple Sidra for sweet tooth humans. You have to pay by the way. Drink as much as you like but pay accordingly.
This 米血糕 a must try! Although it was cooked in the soup but still maintained its good texture and flavour, somewhere near to glutinous rice texture but firmer yet a little chewy. Have you tried it at Taiwan night markets? They are sold in sticks (at least whenever I saw it) and I actually resisted having it because wild thoughts of the taste running through my mind because it was black in colour.
Enjoy the short video on our food and its surrounding. You might meet 肥妈本人也说不定. I think is her because the portrait really looks 99% similar. Only 2 persons manning the shop and she is one of them. Their entrance to the shop was vending machine concept. You can see Taiwan snacks and beverages in it. I saw my favourite 王子面.
At their cashier counter, spotted Chia Te pineapple and cranberry tarts. Not sure if it was for show or they really got sell them. I'm curious about cranberry tarts as it was new to me at least. Never mind. Time will come when I can fly to Taiwan for holiday again. Bring me all the Taiwan Vibes again!
Thanks to my ladies' treat for me this year!
