Chinatown, Singapore

 

Eat, drink, shops, and be very merry

Chinatown is a subzone and ethnic enclave located within the Outram district in the Central Area of Singapore. Featuring distinctly Chinese cultural elements, Chinatown has had a historically concentrated ethnic Chinese population. We did not find any difficulties went there (most of the place in Singapore), because the MRT is everywhere! :D

As we get there, we had our lunch first and then we went around the shops, they have so so many shops there, so prepare your stamina to explore them. The shops sell anything; welcome to one stop portal for all things (Niu Che Shui!) I also bought Pashminas, which cost SGD 5 each! Cheap, but you can never doubt the quality. I think i can not find it anywhere in Jakarta for the same price and quality.

Later, while we were enjoying our shopping, the rain fells down. But it did not disturb us at all. We can still walk on through the shops because they connected each other so we did not have to accross the street to reach the other shops.

If you are a foodie, try char kway teow (stir fried noodles) and satay (barbequed meat skewers) at Chinatown Food Street, a row of hawker stalls, shophouse restaurants and kiosks along Smith Street. For trendier tastes, try restaurants and bars in Neil Road, Duxton Road and Keong Saik Road. 

Overall, you will love Chinatown, especially if you love to eat and shops :p

I will review one more shopping area: Bugis Street on my next writings. So, stay tuned! :))
