Stop At: Kampong Glam, Singapore
Kampong Glam was the historic seat of Malay royalty in Singapore. Visit the grounds of the former Istana Kampong Glam and explore the garden growing spices that are used as traditional medicine and in cooking. Not to be missed is the Masjid Sultan, the largest mosque in Singapore.
The area was not only for the ethnic Malays. In 1822, Raffles allocated the settlement area for Bugis and Arabs too.
Many of the shophouses built in the late 1800s are still well preserved, selling hand woven items, beautiful textiles, wide range of authentic Arab goods, and Middle East cuisines.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Little India Arcade, Singapore
Little India was shaped by migrants from India, China and Britain. Uncover the stories woven together behind the street names, back alleys, traditional trades, architectures and temples. You will be easily distracted by the sounds, colours and scents while exploring the precinct. The key attraction is Tekka Centre, a multi-use complex; hawker stalls, wet market and shops in one building!
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Chinatown, Singapore
Chinatown is the largest Historic District in Singapore. Your first stop is a visit to Chinatown Heritage Centre; this newly restored museum showcase the untold stories of early Singaporeans life in a shophouse back in the period of 1950s.
