Chinatown & Tiong Bahru
Heritage shophouses where old Singapore lives and eats magnificently.
Singapore's heritage districts reveal the soul behind the skyline. Chinatown's painted shophouses hide some of the best hawker stalls in the country. Tiong Bahru, the city's oldest housing estate, has become a neighbourhood of independent bookshops, specialty coffee, and Art Deco flats where creative Singapore gathers.
We also reach the Maxwell hawker centre for chicken rice, the Sri Mariamman temple, and Lau Pa Sat.
