Tofu Street
Tofu Street (Chinese: 豆腐街) is a 1996 Singaporean Chinese-language drama series. OverviewSet in the late 1940s to the 1970s, the drama revolved around the lives of a group of tenants with diverse backgrounds staying in a big house located in Tofu Street. Experience the struggles of the inhabitants of a poor rural village in China who subsequently settle down in Tofu Street. This weighty drama gave an insight into the lives of post-war survivors consisting of a group of tenants with diverse backgrounds staying in a big house in the yester-years era.[1] The name Tofu Street was based on the now-defunct road of what was now Upper Chin Chew Street, used to be located at the present site of Hock Hai Building between Upper Pickering Street and Upper Cross Street. There used to be a number of beancurd stalls in the area from 1930s to the 1940s, giving the street its name. It was also famous as the dwelling area of the Samsui women. The street had since disappeared after gentrification of the area.[2] The series stars Cynthia Koh, Peter Yu, Ix Shen, Brandon Wong, Jacelyn Tay, He Yong Fang, Zheng Geping and Carole Lin. The series' theme song, 'Moonlight in the City', was sung by Mavis Hee.[3][4] It won the first Star Awards for Best Drama Serial at the Star Awards, an annual awards given by Mediacorp. Cast
