I first saw this gem of a corner while re-exploring Joo Chiat a couple of years ago. Intrigued by the shophouse extension and loving building design, I wished I could have taken a walk-through. I couldn't, but that's alright, the mural by Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic was such a delight to behold and more than made up for it.
This is what Zacharevic said on his site -- "Singapore's reputation as one of the most law obedient countries, the response to this work was actually one of the warmest I've experienced and aside from the ticket for my inconsiderate boom-lift parking, there was no charges or interruptions of any kind."
Well, I wouldn't expect anything less! And I sincerely hope that ticket was quashed...
