Astons Express Upper Thomson Review

Here's my review of Astons Express Upper Thomson...

Astons Express Upper Thomson is located in a corner coffee shop along Upper Thomson Road. The great thing about this place is that it's super near my home. In fact, my family's favourite zi char shop used to occupy the shop space that Astons Express Upper Thomson now operates in. It's so close that we used to walk to this corner coffee shop almost every weekend to have dinner!

Observing the crowd, Astons Express Upper Thomson is popular with many residents in the area. There's always a good number of people ordering, eating in or taking away lunch and dinner during weekdays and weekends. When it first opened, the queue was very long. And since the coffeeshop doesn't have aircon, waiting for our food can be a sweaty and uncomfortable experience. In addition, since the road is very close by, the sounds can get quite loud, especially during peak hours.  

However, there have been improvements since Astons Express @ Upper Thomson first opened...

• Potted plants have been placed between the road and the tables to minimize road noise.
• The food pick-up system is much more efficient since they implemented the use of a device that blinks when your order is ready. 
• Additional overhead fans have been installed to help patrons stay cool while waiting for our meal.  

In conclusion, if you are craving for Astons, there's no harm parking your car nearby and taking a short walk to eat at Astons Express Upper Thomson. After all, dessert shops - Rocher Beancurd / Tau Huey, Scoopz Ice Cream and Dessert House - are just next door! The Upper Thomson Road night view is quite pretty too, with all the shophouses lighted up. ^_^

Why I Created Upper Thomson Road Singapore Blog

It's 2012 and I've lived here in Singapore, Upper Thomson for about 16 years now. When my family moved here, I was a teenager (14). In a flash, I have grown to be 30 years young, a young adult. Having spent more than half my life here, I am so grateful to this paradise in Singapore for supporting and nurturing me through the challenging years of my adolescence.

Now, as I embark on my journey towards being a continuously successful real estate salesperson, I have more reason to share what I love about my 'hometown' - to position myself as an expert in this area, as well as a way to give back to the area that has truly so much to offer growing families with children as well as older folk. I have so much to share, but here's a short, rough summary of what's to come...

Living In Upper Thomson Is Great! Reasons include : 

• Famous, Good, Yummy Upper Thomson Food - e.g. Popular Upper Thomson Prata Shops, Long House Duck Rice, Prawn Noodle and Chicken Rice, Old School Delights, Rocher Beancurd, Scoopz, Udders, 24 hour Ba Chor Mee, Salted Caramel, etc...
• Our Convenient Location - Less than half and hour to Orchard Road by three regular bus services 167, 162, 132; Walking distance to Marymount MRT Circle Line; 20 minute bus rides to other MRT Stations like Ang Mo Kio MRT, Bishan MRT, Novena MRT, Farrer Road MRT (choose which MRT station to travel to depending on your destination); Easily available cabs because the NTUC Taxi Petrol Top-Up Station is just nearby at Sin Ming Road; etc...
• Quick Access to Supermarkets - NTUC, Shop and Save and now Sheng Shiong + ShunFu Market,
• Macritchie Reservoir - where I've enjoyed so memorable morning, afternoon and evening walks with my friends and family,
• Gardening Supplies at Far East Flora area (where we sometimes just pop by to browse through their beautiful flowering plants !)
• Relaxing Shopping Centers - Thomson Plaza and Junction 8
• and Much, Much More... ! 

Living in Upper Thomson Singapore has provided me a safe and convenient sanctuary so I can explore the rest of the world. By sharing my love, knowledge and experiences about 'my territory', I hope it gives others a better idea of where to eat, live and play when you are new to this area. Even if you don't live here, I am sure you can grow to love this place I call heaven too !
