Expat Living City Guide – June 2018

There are tons of buzzy bars and
eateries housed in shophouses
around the Chinatown area,
encompassing Ann Siang Road, Club Street, Amoy
Street, Gemmill Lane, Cross Street, Erskine Road
and Telok Ayer Street. Shopping-wise, near the
MRT station you’ll find Chinatown Point, a mall
housing over 200 shops spread out on six levels. If
you venture along Pagoda Street, there are plenty
more stalls to be discovered, selling everything
from silk robes to souvenirs. Need a drink? Head
to Asian-inspired watering hole Nutmeg & Clove
(10A Ann Siang Hill), then visit P.S Cafe (45 Ann
Siang Road) for hearty grub and stunning cakes.
Also located on Ann Siang is Aussie activewear
label Lorna Jane (4 Ann Siang Hill), known for
its trademark LJ Excel fabric.

Cluny Court (501 Bukit Timah

Road) is conveniently located across

from Botanic Gardens MRT station

on the Circle Line. Here you’ll find an eclectic mix

of fashion and lifestyle stores, amidst foodie joints

to rest your feet after a shopping sesh. For ultra-

chic resortwear, check out Simone Irani (#02-17),

a colourful boutique stocking local designers and

international labels, including dresses, kaftans,

swimwear and accessories. Paperbag Princess

(#02-27) is another must-visit if you’re looking for

stylish clothing and accessories suited to warmer

climates. Then, pop by Sugar K Organic Peel

Bar (#02-01) for a quick 10-minute sugar-peel

facial, or visit one of our favourite salons, The Big

Blow (#02-21), to pamper yourself with a relaxing

blowout. Hungry folks will enjoy the selection of

pastas, salads, pizzas and sandwiches at Da Paolo

Gastronomia (#01-01), but if you’re feeling extra

healthy, there’s also a wide range of cold-pressed

juices at EGA Juice Clinic (#01-04A).
