Picturesque parks, wildlife and unlimited free foodpanda deliveries: Why Yew Tee isn't as 'boring' as you think

The internet might have labelled Yew Tee as Singapore's most boring neighbourhood - but is it really?

Sure, it may be quieter than other neighbourhoods in Singapore *ahem* Yishun, but are we confusing its slower pace of life for boredom?

We snooped around and found some fascinating, noteworthy, and downright fun facts about this often-overlooked town.

Interesting and scenic parks

While Yew Tee Park may look like an unassuming green space, it hides a little gem.

Craving for an adrenaline rush? Try the long slide at its playground! Spanning 20 metres in length, this slide was built into the slopes of the park and is guaranteed to give even adults a thrill ride.

If that's not your cup of tea, check out the Pang Sua Canal park connector that leads you all the way to Tanjong Pagar. Youtuber Ghib Ojibsan even compared this park to sights and scenes in Japan.

Friendly neighbours

Yew Tee residents are so helpful that they even helped to open MRT doors for passengers.

On a more heartwarming note, check out this resident who went out of their way to provide free food for the less fortunate during the month of Ramadan. Together with other residents from the Friends of Yew Tee page, they all chipped in to help out the less fortunate.

Wild world

Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Singapore is where you can observe local wildlife at its best, and Yew Tee may be the best place for that.

It is not every day you see an interspecies territory war between wild dogs and otters, or get to spot wild boars roaming around with police escorts fit for a VIP guest.

Why head to the zoo when the real action is at Yew Tee?
