The Redhill neighbourhood, part of the larger Bukit Merah District is
fondly nicknamed Chit Lau (7 storeys in Hokkien) by the older folks due
to the blocks of 7-storey flats built to house the villagers when the
kampongs were cleared for redevelopment in the mid-50s in that area.
Years after, more flats sprouted to cater to the population growth. The
hawker centre was built in 1972 and housed 96 food stalls. This may not
be the oldest hawker centre but many of the stalls here have been around
for decades, some, since the beginning. Hence, one of the reasons why
you hardly see any young hawkers here.
