A peaceful and tranquil area with million dollar view of lush tropical forest. Be greeted with live orchestra from chirpy morning birds and therapeutic insect calls at night. It is especially magical when the full moon hangs on top of the forest canopy.

I also have a private jungalow cafe with display of plants and more collectibles. My home is 7mins walk to the nature park and 5mins to bus stop.

Bukit Batok Nature Reserve Park is about 7 mins walk from my place. There are many precious tropical trees eg rambutan, durian, jackfruit, noni. You may even see monkeys and bats eating these fruits. It is a quiet and serene neighborhood surrounded by tropical rainforest without much noise except passing vehicles and the singing voices of birds and insects. Join others from the vicinity in an evening walk, morning jog or hike up the nature reserve. The morning air is very fresh at 5 to 6 am and smells different from the polluted city! My house is situated at the end junction of Bukit Batok and the beginning junction of Bukit Timah. It is a walkable distance from my place to Bt Timah or a 15 mins bus ride to Beauty World MRT where lots of good food can be found. My place is uniquely situated in between 3 neighbourhoods; Bukit Batok, Bukit Timah and Clementi. There are direct buses (approx 15 mins ride) to the MRT in these areas. Driving is the most convenient option because the PIE expressway is just few mins away from my place. BKE and AYE are nearby too.

Kindly practise good hygiene and cleanliness etiquette. I provide home slippers. I try to practice an organic lifestyle and grow edibles at home. I probably have at least 50 varieties of plants. I also raise a white silkie hen that gives beautiful and delicious eggs.
