We're back at Rail Mall, another stretch of shophouse and eating places on Upper Bukit Timah Road. This used to be the only major trunk road to Johore Bahru, and there were crops of commercial businesses every few miles, which explains the shops and food places on the 7th mile (Beauty World), 9th mile (Rail Mall) and 10th mile (Bukit Panjang).
Rail Mall is now gentrified, and fancy restaurants rather than kopitiams occupy the long row of shophouses that face the main road, and where the Malayan railway crosses overhead in an iron truss bridge.
BLooiE's Roadhouse is a Western-styled tavern, drinking hole which also serves Western food. A recent addition to its menu is Lee's Taiwanese, specialising in classic Taiwanese dishes. According to one of the friendly staff, one of the restaurant owners happens to be Taiwanese.

| Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice |

| Western: T-bone Steak with black pepper sauce |
On this occasion, we decided on the best of both worlds - Taiwanese for Janet and Western for myself. And we could not resist the Taiwanese fried chicken chop - a must whenever the idea of Formosa comes to mind.

| The name Fuyong refers to the public housing estate which Rail Mall fronts, a community founded by Lee Kong Chian. |
