Here's Jalan Besar.
From the junction of Jalan Besar and Lavender Road to the nearing end of Jalan Besar and Sim Lim Square, with the reflection of the bus seat thrown in at the Rochor Beancurd side.
This is all on the driver's side, and you can easily figure out where the bus stops and the traffic lights are... ;)

If there's one thing Jalan Besar is synonymous for, it's bathroom fittings. No, I'm not kidding. Ask anyone above the age of 35, and they'll tell you that their parents told them that if anyone wanted a new tap, or a new bathtub, or a new part to fit on top of their toilet bowl, or to refurbish the bathroom, it was to Jalan Besar they went.
There's another thing that Jalan Besar is well known for.
Coffee. And hangouts.
Technically, it's on Tyrwhitt Street behind Jalan Besar, but hey, that's how we describe the whole area anyway. So, you've got Chye Seng Huat Hardware Store at the back, you've got Druggists, you've got Tiramisu House, you've got the Broadway food court (that serves up a great Thai green curry), and you've got more drinking places on the other side of Tyrwhitt leading to Kitchener Road.
Oh, there're also a few KTV pubs, a few coffee shops stretched along the road, with Butter Studio and Swee Choon somewhere in the middle of it all.
