Findings at a cul de sac

Sian Teck Tng at the end of Cuppage Road.

SOMEHOW, I never knew the existence of this nice Chinese building (built in 1883) at the cul de sac of Cuppage Road -- though I have been to Centrepoint numerous times. (Centrepoint is just a building away.)

According to this blog http://raymondgoh.blogspot.sg/2012/11/sian-teck-tng.html, the building, Sian Teck Tng, was built for widows and orphans --  a vegetarian house. When I was there on a Saturday afternoon (trying to take some pictures of the end wall of Cuppage Terrace) its front doors were closed, though the front gate was thrown wide open. So I didn't have the opportunity to nose around the interior -- or partake in any free vegetarian meals :)

Statue of Kuan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) in the front garden.

It would house some inner courtyards, judging by the gables.

Incense lit at the front. 

Red pomegranates in abundance.

A wall mural at the gate depicting the Eight Immortals.
