Bordering Esplanade Park is Queen Elizabeth Walk. This promenade was once part of the Esplanade. It was named after Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation in 1953, after the land reclamation project a century ago. As we walked along Queen Elizabeth Walk, green and pink bougainvilleas lined the promenade, creating a color contrast with the blue color of the Singapore River.
We never knew there had once been a 'Satay Club' on Queen Elizabeth Walk in the 1970s. Families would crowd round stalls in clusters and watch the satay man grill satay over hot charcoals. Sadly, the Satay Club was relocated to Clark Quay in 1995 to make way for the Nicoll Highway and Theatres on the Bay extension.
