Tiong Bahru is an old neighborhood and also one of my favourite in Singapore.
Here you’ll find interesting bookstores, Cafes, restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops selling wanton noodles, curry rice, duck noodles and more, wet market, etc…
If you are looking for a place to hang out on a lazy weekend, take a stroll and check out stretches along Yong Siak street, Eng Hoon street, Tiong Poh road. You’ll find man interesting shops and Cafes which will easily take half a day.
