Chong Pang Food Centre Reopens After 7-Week Closure For Repair & Redecoration Works
The heart of any HDB estate is undoubtedly its food centre, where residents can enjoy delicious food at affordable prices.
So the closure of a neighbourhood food centre for any amount of time would cause some inconvenience, even if it’s due to refurbishment.
Chong Pang residents have cause for cheer now that Chong Pang Food Centre has finally reopened after seven weeks of waiting.
