Achilles Tang Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Me? Just about all the well known ones... oh i stopped going to the one at Chinatown... damn inconvenient to find transportation back ie. cabs. And I think the quality of their filtration system sucks... i see a lot of dying livestock in their tanks.. that was about 1 year ago... dunno how are things now? Worth a visit? <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Phang Posted September 20, 2002 SRC Member Share Posted September 20, 2002 Hi Bluebeard, Caven road is actually along the main road from Lavender MRT to Balestier...if you are driving. From Lavender MRT, you can walk (takes 10-15 mins)... Pretty nice setting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Bluebeard Posted September 20, 2002 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 20, 2002 wah i don't know there is a shop there! do you have the exact address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member BarraCudaTM Posted September 21, 2002 SRC Member Share Posted September 21, 2002 Just to update you all on the LCK farms there are currently 2 LCK marine farms , 1 at neo tiew crescent blk 110 and the other at LCK lane 6 the LCK lane 6 is a very big farm .. similar to pacific marine .. everything is cheap there, the probelm is .. they dont really sell to the public.. you may need to get them to open the gate for you .. but once you are in there, you can buy anything you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I have to resort to taking a bus which can get pretty confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use the map too? So did I because I have to walk or take public transport there. I was considering trekking to Oxford Road to look for that Ocean Planet or something like that there but I could only find that tiny 'ulu' little stretch of road on the street directory so I decided not too. Tell me if you find out how to get to the Oxford road shop, ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chanbi Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 I have been visiting the Ocean Planet for 2-3 mths already (near to my workplace). The 2 owners are pretty friendly and price is reasonable. But they don't have a lot of variety (a pretty small shop). There is only one bus that goes there (so don't need to walk from main road, Serangoon road). The bus # is 131 and it stop quite near to the shop. Can let me know if you need more detail..

chanbi Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 The nearest MRT will be Farrer Park MRT (in the future, end of the yr?) and other than that, i think it will be easier taking a bus. I guess you know where is Little India (serangoon road)? From that bus-stop (just outside the market), take #131 and the bus stop will go --> (1) outside broadway hotel --> (2) turn into rangoon road (just after racecourse road) -> (3) outside Kentish Lodge and u should alight here! Walk for another 20-50m (in the same direction as the bus), you will see Oxford road on your left, turn in and after another ~200m, the shop will be on your left at the end of Lim Hock Kim bldg. Hope this will help.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
