Singapore is seeing more exciting eateries sprout up in historically rich locales, and this blend of novelty and nostalgia has transformed once-sleepy spots into cool dining destinations.
Tiong Bahru has a charming mix of public housing flats and shophouses from the '30s and '40s. It is now filled with youthful energy, thanks to quaint cafes such as 40 Hands and Tiong Bahru Bakery as well as modern establishments like Bincho. You can find sterling examples of street food at Tiong Bahru Market and Food Centre.
