Tristan Ong - North Bridge Road Market & Food Centre - 10 Aug 2025
I heard you are recently feeling very lonely, a little confused, a little panicky, but I am unable to be by your side...
North Bridge Road Market & Food Centre is a new busking location onboarded back in 2025. It is located at the beginning of South Bridge Road, right across the river from the Lavender area and the ICA building, and serves affordable hawker fare. (Even though not open during this time of the day, there is a wanton noodle stall known for operating during the late night hours.) This location is pretty decent, not as crowded as Tiong Bahru Market, but not as quiet as Telok Blangah Rise either. Those heading there can listen to lively busking performances on Fridays to Sundays while having their late morning breakfast/lunch fix.
有一天我会 [originally performed by Chang Chiung-yao (张琼瑶)]
This is actually first performed by a Taiwanese singer named Chang Chiung-yao in the 90s, but the cover released by local singer Joi Chua (蔡淳佳) is much more popular. This song expresses a desire to break free from constraints and achieving self-actualization someday.
最近 [originally performed by Sam Lee (李圣杰)]
This song is from Sam Lee's fourth studio album "The Songs About You" (关于你的歌) released in 2006, with lyrics and composition by Derrick Tham (who also has his own cover). The song expresses a painful, mismatched romance where two people realize they cannot fulfill each other's deepest expectations.
North Bridge Road Market & Food Centre is a busking location open Fridays to Sundays, 10a.m. - 2p.m.
