Trendy neighbourhood in Singapore that worth paying a
visit to.
Getting around in Singapore is easy and convenient making exploring around Singapore’s historical sites or tourism area is a breeze when you’re staying in the new township of Sunway’s Iskandar new property where getting passports stamp in Singapore is just minutes away. But, exploring for trendy neighbourhood to chill around this island is a challenge. Local islanders know where to hang out, be it new chic café or hidden leisure spots. Let’s check out what trendy neighbourhood Singapore that’s worth visiting.
Woodlands
This hidden north gem has got plentiful of
shopping and leisure activities to offer. Back then it is where the American
ang mohs resided for the Singapore American School. There is Admiralty Park
with diverse mix of secondary forests, mangrove, riverine and open grassland
habits, nature lovers can get closer to nature in the park. Crossing the
causeway is also easy breezy, making cheap and affordable shopping in Johor
Bahru seems worth the time to travel to. Besides, the JB city view from
Woodlands is scenic with many new
properties mushrooming in JB city centre from Woodlands Waterfront.
Jurong
Let’s head for journey to the west of
Singapore, Jurong East. Mind you, there’s Jurong West but most of the
happenings are in Jurong East. Besides all the picturesque gardens and Jurong
Bird Park, there are array of attractions like Snow City, iMax, Science Centre
and Singapore Discovery Centre. Besides, Jurong East itself has four big malls
and one warehouse retail. Travelling to Johor Bahru is convenient, thanks to
the second link in Tuas where traffic is much less congested. The other side of
JB ain’t too shabby as well, there’s Johor Premium Outlet (JPO), Legoland and
Hello Kitty Town that is easier to access via Tuas second link. We might as
well admire the township planning for Iskandar project especially from Sunway’s
new property, another new spot to look out for once the township is
completed!
Tiong Bahru
The most hipster area in Singapore that
most local islanders know about this spot. Tiong Bahru used to be known as
‘meiren wo’ or mistress dens, where the rich hides their mistresses. Today’s
hippie playground has been reinvented from it’s nostalgic lanes filled with old
school shops. All the good cafés
and eateries are known to be from Tiong Bahru. Get your poached eggs or
Teochew porridge in Tiong Bahru. After getting your tummy fixed, do stroll down
along the lanes that has independent bookstores with unique set ups. And if
you’re hungry again, stop by for another bakery or pastry shops to indulge into
delish cakes and pastries. Well, if you’d ask us, we highly recommend Tiong
Bahru Bakery for their pastries and breads.
Tanjong Pagar
The CBD area in Singapore with quite a
number of hidden bars that comes with good atmospheres. Tanjong Pagar was known
for the Tanjong Pagar railway station that travels to Malaysia, the KTMB.
Today, the train station is being conserved by the Singapore government for
future developments. Today, there are many thriving restaurants,
cafés, pubs and bars that bring this district to live. Duxton Hill is one
of the area that has kept the bars hidden from the bustling main road. The
serene area is suitable for groups that would like to wind down for a good
catch up drinks. If you are craving for Korean food, say no more, Tanjong Pagar
is also known Little Korea. There are as many as 15 Korean food outlets that is
sitting within the 300m stretch, spoilt for choices. Getting a property in
Tanjong Pagarain’t cheap, be it new private property or resale HDB flats,
thanks to the location.
Marine Parade.
What do we associate with Marine Parade
besides the East Coast Park? Katong Laksa, Peranakan food and heritage and sea
view. This neighbourhood located near the sea is where the easties are proud
of. Besides cycling in East Coast Park, we can visit some of the nostalgic
shophouses that was built during the British colonial era especially the unique
Peranakan cuisine that has been around since then. We can also traced back
the Peranakan heritage in Katong through the famous Katong Laksa but be careful
as there are many claimed to be the original Katong Laksa. Be sure to bring
local Singaporeans to identify the original Katong laksa. Apart from the
traditional food, cafés can be easily found located in these old shophouses that
also served lattes. Head out to East Coast Park where you can also see new
private properties and old HDB flats sitting in front of the sea view making us
feeling envious.
Hopefully this list is sufficient for now
to put on the explorer cap and travel around Singapore’s chic neighbourhood.
