Sago Street and Sago Lane.

Down at this unique place, one can find medical halls, rattan mat weavers, kite and mask artisans, pastry makers and furniture restorers. Its name was derived from the fact that many factories set up here back then, made puddi ngs using a glutinous tropical crop called sago. This area is also infamous for its funeral parlours and ark, dingy death houses where the terminally ill who are without family wait out for their last days here, back in the past.

At the end of the Sago Street, one still can find an eye-catching colonial building, which used to be the jinrickshaw Station. These human-drawn Jinrickshaws or carriages were a popular mode of transport in the 1890s. It is current an extinct form of transport in Singapore and cannot be found, although one can take the trishaw which is similar except is powered by a bicycle instead of a man.
