Explore an off the beaten path neighbourhood to get a sense of what Singapore used to be and get a feel for where it is going.

From its working-class origins as a public housing project, to being touted as one of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods by Vogue, Tiong Bahru always had a creative vibe in its soul. Only a few minutes from downtown, this historic neighbourhood packs so much diversity into such a compact area rich in history and great street food gems. You will see some landmarks that make Tiong Bahru for what it is - the art deco architecture, a WWII air-raid shelter to a temple dedicated to the monkey god. Hear the stories and sample some Michelin star street food fare at the historic Tiong Bahru market. As the poster child of gentrification in Singapore, Tiong Bahru is home to some unique and independent modern boutiques. However, a turn around the corner leads you to post war housing estates with residential communities and the traditional trades of the neighbourhood. This is where old world charm exist side-by-side with the ultra chic.
