Latest Singapore hotel reviews
like what i've said, Chijmes, since it was near my hotel in Oxford is a must try for me and the experience did not disappoint! this one block huge former Roman Catholic Convent and School plus the Caldwell House Reverted to Government Control in 1983 and became a national monument of Singapore and the present reincarnation as a Fine Dining and Bar plus Club Scene. Although the prices here are a lot higher than in other areas like the draft beers costs here $ 13 fora half liter mug, the experience is worth it. The club scene has entrance fees of $ 25 for males and $ 20 for females unless you're in the guest list then the entrance is free. Bar chow starts at $ 8 for cheesesticks. for the shopping part, not much time since I went here to party at night.

East and west blend in many details all over Singapore.
Near Chijmes, a small church displays a western christian look, but, seen in detail, the top tower is more Indian than European.
That's the strength of Singapore: enhancing the best from east and west.

Chijmes, aside from now being home to great food and party places, is also an architectural gift.
1. Go there before 8am if you want great pictures of the structure.
2. Leave the place and check out the neighboring sites like the SAM (Singapore Art Museum) or Orchard. You can return to Chijmes around noon and then also enjoy its new status as a food and party place.

Once a convent and orphanage, Chijmes was destroyed during World War II only to be refurbished into an entertainment hub. It also has a shopping arcade that specializes in Asian artefacts and antiques, jewellery and homeware. It comes to life especially during nighttime with it's numerous bars and restaurants.

This entertainment place opposite of the Swissotel Stamford in the middle of the city used to be a chapel, but has be refurbished to become a great place to dine and have a drink. With a wide variety of restaurants catering to very different tastes, this upscale place has all the amenties to enjoy a night out.
Adding to the restaurants are a number of pubs to enjoy. I'd recommend eating at the Brazilian restaurant, offering a succulent all you can eat freshly cut meat sliced at your table buffet.

Chijmes is an old convent, which now houses lots of shops and restaurants. The church, which is now deconsecrated is used for weddings and small concerts. This place is stunning at night. People have been so impressed with this place, that it recently became an UNESCO world heritage site.
Most of the restaurants serve western food, but there is a good Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant-if you are looking for alternatives.

This former Convent has been converted to an upscale mall and entertainment center. Despite this it maintains its former architecture and beauty.
