- Ken (haileythegolden)Edmonton, Canada3,435 contributionsChinatown has 2 hawker stations. Both are good . This china town has the usual booths selling all kinds of stuff. There are some nice restaurants in the area and it seems to be a little cleaner than most china townsWritten 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LynsD2011Melbourne, Australia22 contributionsInteresting stop on our self paced tour of some of Singapore’s districts. A lot of Instagram posing happening, but the streets are very cute. We ate here and the food was really good. Definetly worth a visit and a nice chain to the super touristy sites everyone knows about in Singapore.Written 24 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are heaps of stores selling everything under the sun, food courts and mosques. It's very handy to Farrer Park MRT station.Written 29 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- David SantosoJakarta, Indonesia19 contributionsA nice tourist spot with a lot cafe. Be careful with the prices. Honestly it is just average taste compare Thai or Indonesian food.
But it is nice place to relax, have a beer or coffee.

Just a short walk off Orchard Road is Emerald Hill, a quiet, charming street that offers a different kind of shopping belt experience. This historical neighborhood, once home to wealthy Peranakan families, is now known for its beautifully preserved, pastel-colored shophouses that boast intricate carvings and ornate details. It's no surprise that Emerald Hill has become a hotspot for Instagram photos, with its blend of colonial architecture and tropical greenery. This area isn't just about aesthetics; it also houses trendy bars and cafes, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon or an evening out. Whether you're a history buff or simply seeking the perfect photo backdrop, Emerald Hill is an essential stop during your Orchard Road exploration. If you want to experience the night life excitement , you'll have to go there in the night.Written 14 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We love looking for gifts and home decor items that we can take back stateside. Prices are reasonable and there is something for everyone.Written 18 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tea & TrailsJapan102 contributionsKatong is my favorite place in Singapore, with its charming classical houses and colors that are quintessentially Singaporean. Since the new Marine Parade MRT station opened in 2024, access from the city center has become much easier. Cafe hopping and enjoying Laksa are also great activities to try when visiting this area.Written 5 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WarbyBicester, UK3,745 contributionsLots of bars and restaurants with great choices. Surrounded by apartments and some new hotels. Less busy thank Clarke or Boat Quay.

- AminangieSingapore, Singapore38 contributionsMy family drove through geylang on the eve of Ramadan and the lights were amazing. It looks like driving through a tunnel of lights. The stalls have also increased and many new fusion food were available. What is most convenient is there's an area where you can sit down to eat and best of all, it's aircon. The comfort in this weather is most welcome.Written 21 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Adventure DivaManchester, CT2,781 contributionsThese pre-war shophouses are like "home museums" that are dedicated to the Peranakan culture. There's a lot of traditional Keybayas, beaded shoes and chinaware. Stop by the row of beautiful shophouses (Koon Seng Road) which are instagram-worthy photos.Written 28 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Your Travel Buddy SGSingapore, Singapore32,240 contributionsThe central business district is filled with skyscrapers, like most of the central business districts in other countries. The historical part of this was that Singapore was striving on trade in the beginning. The Singapore river was a very busy port in those days with bum boats transporting goods from bigger ships anchored out in the sea. This is where it all began!Written 9 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- SOH KIEN PENGSingapore, Singapore9,335 contributionsTook a morning brisk walk from Marsiling MRT station to the Marsiling Market and Hawker Center at Blk 20 Marsiling Lane.
Surprised that the hawker centre and market was so crowded on a weekday morning. In fact, the whole place is so lively and dynamic with elderly chit chat with one another over cups of coffee and toast bread or over a bowl of wanton noodles. All this while, I thought the center of focus for food in Marsiling is at Marsiling Mall. I was wrong. The hidden gems seem to lie here.
I always like to rate the popularity of the food by the long queue at the stalls. One of the stalls with long queue was 'Muslim Food Stall' at #01-114 selling unique nasi ambeng, rawan, nasi lemak, nasi Jengganan. The plate of nasi ambeng by the look was so delicious and mouth watering enriched with sotong, egg, chicken, tau kwa made me craving for it.
The curry laksa from Chin Heng noodles was the signature dish here. The wanton noodles from Joy Junction looks appealing and tender. The handmade mee hoon kueh was very appealing at $4/- per bowl.
The mee rebus, mee siam at $3.50 at Majijah was reasonably priced and delicious. Their signature dishes were Apom and Masala Thosai. Lai Xing Prawn Noodle attracted quite a long queue. Uncle Pancake stall was most attractive with her peanut and corn.
I ordered a plate of nasi ambeng set from the Muslim Food Stall. The ingredients were generously nourishing and plentiful at $6.50 per set. Love the taste though spicy hot.
Will come again to try other food.Written 26 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I made a visit to this charming estate on Raya Haji.
Fortunately it was a clear day and Tiong Bahru's whitewashed, three-storey apartments looked splendid in the sunlight.
I didn't manage to find many murals, but I will be back to look for them!Written 7 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
