If you look at the map of Singapore today, you will not be able to locate Jalan Tuah anymore. Jalan Tuah was just a short street in terms of size and when all the people have moved out of the kampong due to relocation, the authorities have unceremoniously removed it from the Singapore map.
Kampong Tempeh received its name and was made famous in Singapore during those days for the tempeh that was produced in the village. Tempeh is a type of fermented food made out from soy bean which originates from Indonesia and it is a favorite item among the Javanese people. Most of the pioneering villagers living in Kampong Tempeh came from Indonesia and there were many families involved in the tempeh making business. The tempeh produced were home made, its recipe being passed down from the older generation and their productions combined were enough to make it as a famous tempeh making district.
