Chinatown hints at the singapore of yesteryear. Easily accessible by foot (from the club), find your way to pagoda street – a stone’s throw away from chinatown mrt. This street has its fair share of touts and tourist traps, but make a beeline for the chinatown heritage centre. The site houses a wealth of memories and interesting stories about the humble beginnings of singapore’s early forefathers, with guided tours available by the hour.
After a lesson in the rich history of chinatown, continue down Pagoda Street toward sri mariamman temple, visit the über cool red dot museum, dine at food haven maxwell food centre, and satiate your shopping desires at quirky lifestyle store strangelets. Have your tea-fix at k.ki, purveyor of fine french-japanese cakes and pastries served fresh daily, or grab a mid-afternoon drink at Loatian opium den bar sa vanh. Independent bookshop books actually (86 Club Street) is round the corner, serving up the best literature.
