This is the place to go for your Singapore souviners, and any thing else you could imagine, it is crowded, it is hot, it is safe, just be firm with no if you are not interested in their wares, but they are all polite and helpful. Big thin I found was multiple items for a set amount, so I ended... More

The streets and food area are a bit unclean but that is expected of chinatown. If you brave these, it is well worth the shopping and sights not to mention the reasonable prices of wares and food which are all very tasty. Old men sitting on stools beside houses and gambling on the center square makes good photographs. Colorful silks,... More

We found some good eat places here and it is your very typical chinatown.Also lots of shops.

Anything you ever didnt want is available here and remember to bargain. You will need a few hours looking around and there are dozens of great food places also. Try the seafood restaurant on the corner, fresh good quality asian food and a very reasonable price. Also keep an eye out for the German sausage stall, he is world famous... More

Lots of interesting shophouses and things to buy. The streets are clean and well organized, with beautiful temples nearby.

When we visit we have taken to stopping by Chinatown and having a beer and just watching the passing crowds. The place is full of tat of course but it's still a good experience for the kids, who love the Tintin shop (probably the only authentic thing there).

Go to Chinatown for the best souvenirs and cheap Chinese cuisine. If you want to see the more authentic lifestyle head for the square at the buddah tooth relic temple where old Chinese men play Go and you can find the wet market there.
