Expat Living Singapore – July 2019

HOME & PROPERTY

JULY 2019 41

Your hands-down favourite

neighbourhood joints are:

Alley on 25 and Blu Jaz Cafe.

You won’t find better local food than at:

Bugis Junction and Haji Lane.

The strangest thing you’ve ever seen on

your street is:

A guy wearing a veil during his stag party

in Bali Lane.

We love a good bargain. The best deals

in your neighbourhood are:

Blu Jaz Cafe and Good Luck Beerhouse for drinks,

The Hangar and Juice Clinic for meals, and HYGGE

for handmade trinkets and personalised gifts.

The guiltiest pleasure in your area is:

Mr Stork on the top floor of the Andaz hotel next

door, and the lap pool at our condo. Also, getting

your nails done with a glass of wine at The Nail

Social on Haji Lane.

One thing you’d never change is:

The juxtaposition of Duo Residences’ modern

honeycomb design and architecture with the old

shophouses on Haji Lane and Arab Street. We

hope those old shophouses stay forever.

But one thing you

wouldn’t mind seeing

go is:

People who don’t clean

up after their dogs!

The city gives you

$5 million to soup

up your street. You

use it to:

Assist with the

preservation of the old

shophouses.

When you’re in need of a
dose of culture, you visit:
The National Library, Singapore
Art Museum and the historic
Kampong Glam district.

If you’re missing home, you:
Well, since I (Nadia) am from
Barbados, I play some Rihanna
tunes, but when my husband is
missing home, we go to an Irish
pub for a few pints of Guinness.

A mandatory stop for out-
of-town guests is:
Haji Lane.
