the massage parlour used to be a restaurant/banquet hall 30-40years back that's where my parents got married they are in their 60's now so it's a very nostalgic place to them
SuperBowl started off as a construction company. They always included their names in all the malls they developed, that way even if they sold it off the malls will still keep the name as it's been on Street Directory for too long for a name change(though Google map eventually changed that). It's practically the only way to advertise yourself efficiently back then since internet wasn't as common, and why all developers force their name onto all the properties they develop. Prime examples were Parklane Shopping Mall(SUPERBOWL DEVELOPEMENT PARKLANE SHOPPING MALL) and Kallang Bowl(KALLANG SUPERBOWL).
Many have explained the structure is due to the skating rink in the past. Many also recalled Yaohan but that was before I moved to Jurong (1999) but there was an arcade there and that's the only reason I visited this place last time (2001) accompanying my 3 godsons to go there to play 三国 machine, they claimed that it was cheaper to play there than elsewhere. Eye blink blink 20 years have passed. I'm surprised nobody mentioned the former Tang Dynasty City which was opposite the place cos I believe Hiap Hoe invested in this spot partly to target the crowd from Tang Dynasty (unfortunately only lasted from 1992 to 1999 after being "double-killed" by both Gulf War crisis and Asian Financial crisis). The soup looks damn impressive by both portion and ingredients!! Moreover, it looks so yummy! What a great deal! Jurong hawkers give larger portion in general is correct but I personally don't feel that applies to Boon Lay Hawker Centre cos this hawker centre somehow sell at higher price and smaller portions. I stay in Boon Lay area. If you are looking for larger portions, then those hawker centres or coffeeshops right at the industrial parks (e.g. Soon Lee & International Road) will not disappoint you.
@@HongisBored Next season: Old hawker centres and/or food courts?! Oh ya, I did my uni industrial attachment with Hiap Hoe so I was their intern for 6 months.
I know I know. I grow up here. You were standing beside my friend's car at the beginning of the video. She has a hair salon at Jurong bowl too. The place where the food court and sheng siong is was a ice skating centre. Due to accident, it was shut down and John little took over. After a few years, yaohan took over. The KFC there has longer history than MCD. This place used to have a lot of ktv with xiaojie also. The boss of the soup stall used to have a Lao Er bakkut teh restaurant beside the hair salon, just closed a month ago. The soup i patronised for years already. To be honest, after eating their soup, i dare not try other soup anymore
Finally! Now you 2 east siders (Bedok?) at last understand what is "song song gao Jurong (爽爽到裕廊)"❤, memories of my youth...😊 But it has changed a lot over the years...
Don’t wear uniform la, it’s not school or work. Just wear what u like n feel comfortable . Watch alr more relaxed too. Next time can wear lau lau pyjamas tee. 😅😂🎉❤
I used to work there as a coffee boy, during the hey days, this will only place in the west that has around 100 snooker tables with 3 or 4 VIP rooms. Superbowl itself also have VIP bowling room for those who wanted privacy, HK star Charlie Yeung was there to had her bowling session back then, those were the days lol
the building used to be Yaohan shopping centre and have a times bookshop in it. I always go there in the 80s when i drive my kids there for dinner. There is also a shady arcade centre called abcb or something which was operated and raided in the 90s.
I used to visit Yaohan Department Store, best shopping experience in the west area in the olden days but closed down in 1989...... exact location - currently occupied by Sheng Siong... .
Last time when working in jurong , will go there quite often . As for the massage , last time have "de ne ne" . The KFC is a nice place also dun feel like in Singapore when eat inside.
@HongisBored thank you for bringing us back in time... I was a westerner and moved to the east coast. Still not used to it but... Your programme brings back great childhood memories!
Boon Lay only the curry rice is like mountain cannot finish one. Taman Jurong got 2 place to go another one is the food centre. The KTV n massage like lup sup KTV.
This place used to be my childhood area where there is 50cents-$1 arcade machine. All games uses pld and big 50cents coin. The arcade used to have billiards and arcade machines. Those arcade machines also overflow to the bowling area. But over the years it ded down and they removed the section and expanded the bowling alley. The place is own by superbowl and used to have a lot of ktv lounges at the second floor of majority buildings. Many of these lounge is those "de nene" places but over the years the ktv closes down and become kindergarten or other purposes. My parents also said that there used have "tang dynasty building" opposite this Superbowl but has be demolished.
@HongisBored yea.. last time only a few lanes. If U go during the weekend U might see bowling lessons or competition ~ not sure if they still have it anot.
Wah this place still around. Used to bowl there in my secondary school days and that was more than 30 years ago. There was a Chinese theme park beside it which had gone bust years ago.
@@HongisBored you're right, tang dynasty was just across the road from this locale. and further in behind tang dynasty was our one and only drive-in cinema. if memory serves me right, adjacent to the drive-in is the japanese garden or maybe it became the japanese garden after the closure of the drive-in cinema.
There’s a dilemma when I choose to go back. The soup pairs better with white rice, but their pumpkin rice is delicious too. Decisions decisions decisions haha
The buses from JB drop off passengers here. Night time bowling was a huge thing during 90s. That Japanese restaurant is really good value for money, must book seats.
Superbowl jurong is where i grew up ! Playing bowling & arcade after school or even studying inside for free air con. But recently there are rumours it’s going to be demolished soon …. Can anyone confirm this rumour ? 😢

The old folk home opposite the food court used to be Tang Dynasty. Before Tang Dynasty, it was the Jurong Drive thru Cinema. The building opposite Macdonald, used to be ntuc club. A similar big splash type of swimming pool used to be at Jurong lake garden then an entertainment joint with fishing facilities. All the old times entertainment then. Gold old days.
I stayed there since the area was built. Tang dynasty used to be nearby. There was kfc Burger King and McDonald’s. Now Burger King is gone. The kfc had a drive thru also. There was go cart. Football field Near there was even a DBS branch which had the biggest lobby I’ve seen. The area has undergone alot of changes.
Before DBS, it was occupied by Bank of America. There used to b a famous curry fish head stall opposite the hawker centre...they called it 1 号巴刹. That japanese restaurant Kotobuki has been around since day 1 n was originally run by a Japanese chef. The original jurong bus interchange was across the road, along Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim.
