Boh Geh Uncle Canteen has been around since 1969

The phrase “hidden gem” has been milked to death, but in the case of Boh Geh Uncle Canteen, it’s quite literally true. Located in Seletar, this canteen is hidden from plain sight, largely obscured by the overgrown greenery surrounding it. A small car park and a few signs are the only hints that there’s a historic eatery located here.

Boh Geh Uncle Canteen has been around since 1969, and can be considered a relic of our colonial past—it served as a Corporal’s Mess for the British army. It once belonged to the nearby Seletar Camp, too.
