- Lea RulonaApril 21, 2015Knick knacks that you want to bring to family and friends. Tintin shop is very expensive though. Too much choices, cheap things but make sure to check around as some stalls offer better items
Chinatown evolved from a designated Chinese village. In his 1822 master Town Plan, Sir Stamford Raffles allocated the whole area west of the Singapore River for a Chinese settlement. Source: Infopedia
Dave McNovember 14, 2019This is a really interesting part of town... colonial era architecture, a variety of really good restaurants and trendy bars.

One of the cultural areas of Singapore, visit the mosque, the Sri Mariamman Temple, and the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.- Food. From Chinatown MRT Exit A, street-level stalls & restaurants awaits. Walking distance food centres for everything under one roof (Chinatown Complex: 150m, People's Park: 300m, Hong Lim: 550m)
Magdalena MrázkováOctober 14, 2014Busy, crowded and somewhat dirty, but it's all part of its charm. You find here endless street shops, food stalls, hindu and buddha temples...a must see in Singapore- Look out for interesting objects on display. Installed by Chinatown Singapore & Chinatown Business Association. Pictured is an ice-kachang machine, used to make iced ball dessers
- Chinatown during the weeks leading to Chinese/Lunar New Year is just a sea of red (which represents luck & used widely during auspicious occasions). Avoid driving into the area as carpark will be full
- Many of the back alleys serve as convenient free parking for motorcycles, usually for workers in the area
Lisa StarbucksNovember 10, 2019My favourite hood! It’s buzzing and you can have all types of food - from cheap hawkers to fancy single house restaurants.
Be sure to check out those old buildings like pearl centre before they make way for new developments!- DHR.comOctober 17, 2011Located within the district of Outram in SG, this place is where you could see a great Chinese community. Don't miss Telok Ayer for the great Chinese temples and Smith Street for scrumptious food.
Freesoul YMay 3, 2016It's weird for Chinese to visit here. But I was too desperate to buy fresh fruits in Singapore and Chinatown has all the fresh fruits with low prices. The neighborhood is also good for sightseeing.
Ade NaufalNovember 8, 2014Full of convenience stores, souvenir stores, restaurants, and also the people walking off from and to the subway!
Elizabeth LeeFebruary 4, 2016One of the more authentic places to visit in Singapore, but also slowly losing its touch.
Wen Jie KohSeptember 20, 2014Streets are decorated. Good for tourists to take photos for memories :)
Sandra TaiMarch 25, 2013Look for chopsticks that sell for SGD1.00 per pair. It's along Pagoda Street, with cute cartoons and even Chinese surnames.
Visit The Prawn Star at Duxton Hill. read our review at http://www.superadrianme.com/food-and-beverage/prawn-star-for-porn-stars/
Cynthia DrescherApril 4, 2013At times it can feel like Disney's idea of Chinatown, but that's just because it's so clean and colorful.
Quentin LafonAugust 1, 2014This place is where you could see a great Chinese community. Authentic Chinese food, Chinese temples, looks like China !
Jenny SApril 22, 2013Buy the souvenirs not on Pagoda Street but on nearby streets (Smith, Temple) if you want better deals- Florence GohJanuary 8, 2012The Tintin Shop is located in Chinatown at 56 Pagoda Street, this is where you can get many Tintin collectible items.
Michael LeongAugust 14, 2011Try fried pumpkin & yam cakes at Yue Ping in Chinatown market. They are since 1972 in tiong bahru 6 storey.
Nissa MargarethaJanuary 19, 2013Very very crowded at night -.- but this place very recomended if you buy some souvenir b'coz cheap :)
Charles TabangcoraApril 26, 2012Typical street market. The food selection is pretty good. Any place offering chili/pepper crab is a good bet.
- Florence GohJanuary 8, 2012The Chinatown food street is located along Smith Street, where you can find some cheap local hawkers food.
- Michael LeongAugust 14, 2011Try Yue Ping pumpkin cakes, they started at tiong bahru 6 storey flats in 1972. Very popular & unique taste.
JennySeptember 22, 2012If you are Iooking for deIicious and cheap local food, pass it! Or you will be disappointed and get the more expensiver food and tiger beer.
After midnight everything goes at half price best time to do CNY shopping.
Shop here for a cheap price! Shops here do sell cheongsam at a affordable price.
Thomas HoonSeptember 11, 2011Probably one of the few places left in Singapore that still reminds Singaporeans of our past.
Maria GFebruary 3, 2014Decorations for Lunar 2014 will be up till Feb 28, worth paying a visit anyways.
