the convent of holy infant jesus [chij] chapel and caldwell house gazetted as a monument on october 26th 1990.
for me, the concept is brilliant. the chapel is in gothic style [completed 1890 - 1910] then behind this place is caldwell house, designed by gd. coleman and purchased on august 18th 1852 by reverend jm beurel. and now changed into places for eating and drinking, live performance and spa. and the name itself becomes chijmes [pronounced as chimes].
whenever i found clarke and boat quay in noisy-hectic atmosphere, here my feeling turn into relaxing mode. nice and comfy. several places for hang-out here are: la cafe winebar and father flanagan's irish pub.

Dress Code: casual but not flip flop, please.
