    Unfortunately, Chinatown has become a tourist trap, especially the market streets (Pagoda, Smith, Trengganu and Smith). But you can still catch glimpses in small mom-and-pop stores around.

    Too bad I didn't get to walk around past the street markets. But next time, I'll make sure I'll find other pockets of Chinatown and take pictures of restored old shophouses. And eat more yang tau foo!

    Another of my favourite places to bring my friedns and realtives from overseas or even for my own shopping.

    In Chinatwon you can get old goodies as well as new. I like to walk around here and buy things at a very good price. Go to the market where there is 2 story - level one for wet goods and level 2 for the dry goods. Its a little stuffy but you can bargain and get good items.

    Singapore's Chinatown is compsoed of several sub-districts: Kreta Ayer, Bukit Pasoh and Tanjong Pagar. The name Niu Che Shui because Chinatown's water supply was mostly transported by animal-pulled cars in the 19th centure and it also follows the Malay name, Kreta Ayer which has the same meaning. Here you will find numerous Chinese stores selling Chinese goods, as well as associates and temples.

  • This is a very interesting museum. Three old shophouses have been turned into a heritage centre, where you can learn more about the history of Chinatown and the Chinese community/culture in Singapore. There is a lot to see here so don't rush through it. One of the most interesting parts to me was the shophouse that had restored cubicles etc to show how people lived not too long ago.

    The heritage centre is open 9 AM to 8 PM Mon-Thu and 9 AM to 9 PM Fri-Sun (last admission is one hour before closing time). The admission fee is $8.80 for adults and $5.30 for children.

    Chinatown is a must visit, the old Chinese-colonial shophouses have been gutted, refurbished and repainted in bright pastels. It is one of the most picturesque areas in Singapore and also hosts lots of temples. Many of the traditional businesses have been replaced by fashionable restaurants, bars and expensive shops.

    We had a difficult time finding this place coz it's a bit hidden and there's no signboard pointing to its location. You have to climb a long flight of stairs to reach Pearl Bank. The park is alongside the bank. This place is huge with plenty of joggers frequenting this place coz there's a jogging path around the park. There's also a pond and a resting area where you can take a rest after the long walk. Nice park in Chinatown.

    We had our lunch here after our visit to Pearl's Hill City Park. It's a short walk from the park. You can eat here for only SD2.50. That's rice with viand already. It's a crowded place and a bit hot. Aside from food, it's also selling other stuff. There's a nice children's playground outside the complex. Very near the Outram Park MRT Station.
