You often find a band of taxi drivers gathering at Choice @ 3 Coffee Shop having their lunch break at about 11.30am each weekday. There are usually 6 to 10 of them and you may see a female taxi driver among them too! Most do not live in this neighbourhood, but come from other places like Hougang, Sengkang and Ang Mo Kio.

They do not make any appointment with each other but will just turn up if they are in the vicinity around that time. “The big car park, convenient location and reasonably good food,” these were the reasons most gave when asked why they chose this place to gather. They prefer food that can fill their stomach, so having a mixed vegetable rice stall in the coffee shop is important to them. They have been coming here for more than 10 years and have become good friends, exchanging stories about difficult passengers. We are so glad we had the opportunity to interview them on one of our PSLE marking day as we would otherwise be in school at that hour on weekdays.
rare to see kids talk to such big group of taxi drivers
