Impressive temple, a bit too touristy but you can do meditation on the 4th floor and learn a lot about Buddhism at the museum sections on the 3rd floor. A hidden garden on the rooftop- Jess ThiaJanuary 21, 2017Hidden Gem in Chinatown: Vegetarian Delights For Charity at # B1 Dining Hall (lift directory only states Multi-purpose Hall). This dining place is opened to public from 9am till 3pm daily.

TingAugust 8, 2019When hungry while visiting, don’t miss the vegetarian food stall in the basement. Good selection of vegetarian dishes to go with rice or beehoon. Pay as you wish. Approximately $1 per side.
Torzin SDecember 1, 2014Beautiful chinese temple, the exterior is an interesting mix of traditional Tang style with modern concept. The interior is also lovely that can evoke inner spirit of worshippers.
hussein sMay 26, 2015Very awesome. The visit is free. Don't forget the garden and the museum upstairs. Do not miss the ceremonies early morning read in the early evening.
Go to the fourth floor to see the namesake of the temple, Buddha's Tooth. Take the stairs to the garden from there. The museum has a wide collection of relics and artifacts as well.- Jess ThiaJanuary 21, 2017Delicious and value-for-money vegetarian dishes for lunch at its lesser-crowd aircon spacious dining hall at # B1 before going to buy CNY steam pot ingredients at Chinatown market.
William NgJanuary 20, 2015Beautiful interior, majestic seated Maitreya statue in the main hall. Check out all the Buddhas in niches all around the sides. And there's a museum upstairs and a giant prayer wheel.
- Jess ThiaMarch 4, 2017No joke, this is delicious Vegetarian Food and its @ S$3 only 👍😋 The dish here varies daily, and their vegetarian meat dishes taste more real than fast food burger's meat patty.
- Jess ThiaJanuary 21, 2017Come here for delicious value-for-money vegetarian dishes / desserts / kopi / sometimes dim tsum at this not-so-crowded aircon spacious dining hall before shopping spree at Chinatown Market / Streets.
- Jenya SJuly 3, 2018Make sire to go all the way up to the roof garden with the world’s largest stupa and also meditation room on the 4th floor where the actual tooth relic is.
LeleSeptember 23, 2018Go inside and explore each floor. Some really beautiful exhibits (all in English). Be sure to go to the roof (beautiful garden) and the vegetarian restaurant in the basement.

Louis VuittonOctober 4, 2011Located in the heart of China Town, this Chinese Buddhist Temple is must see while in Singapore. The dress code is quite strict, but don't worry, there are saris to borrow at the door!
Dario TibayAugust 14, 2010Admission to the temple and museum is free as long as you wear appropriate attire to show respect; no bare backs, off-shoulders, shorts, mini-skirts, etc. Strictly no non-vegetarian food and pets insiUpvoted Feb 1- Kars AlfrinkAugust 15, 2016Impressive building with an interior to match. Worth a visit if only to take a breather from the Chinatown bustle outside.
If you are a vegetarian, then you should go down to B1 floor for a breakfast or lunch or brunch... it's a charity vegetarian foodhall downstair the temple. A recommended one... ;)
Magdalena MrázkováOctober 9, 2014The first Buddha temple I saw with a lift. Buddha's tooth is stored at the 5th floor in a golden box 5m behind the glass, so you won't see much of it but the place is brilliant so it won't matter :)
Cynthia DrescherApril 4, 2013MUST DO. If you're not properly attired (understandable on a hot, humid day), even the exterior is fabulous. Take lots of pictures for Instagramming.
