Chinatown city walk

In the heart of Singapore’s heritage neighbourhood, Chinatown, you will find many places bustling during the mid autumn Mooncake Festival! If you are looking for a cultural evening out, I recommend you take a nice walk along the streets near Chinatown Point shopping mall and experience the vibrant atmosphere. Many pop-up stalls have been set up selling mooncakes from different popular brands like Shisen Hanten. There are also a variety of dining options here such as Aburi-EN, Peach Garden and Genki Sushi! Interestingly, the top floor has a full-sized library if that’s a place you enjoy visiting. My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #citywalk #singapore #tripmoments #tripblazers

Bakery Cakes Buns

#citywalk Address - 133 New Bridge Rd, #01-27/28 Chinatown Point, Singapore 059413 Highlights - Traditional mooncakes, bakery, cakes During the evening my husband brought me to the Chinatown point. It was the right time as we can do last minute shopping for mooncakes. I love the traditional mooncake in yam and durian flavour by breadtalk. The store at the Chinatown point is big. One side is catered to bread and cakes, while the other side is catered to mooncakes. A new product that caught our eyes. Our favorite momoji comes in two different flavours. Both are our favorites too. The black sesame and the peanut butter taste. We bought each to try out and we love the taste. We do love some of their freshly baked buns too.

Chinatown Point

#yearofrabbit I like visiting Chinatown Point. It has many restaurants which my wife and I love. I also like the entrance of Chinatown Point with its big screen and neon signboard. We recently visited Chinatown Point during Chinese New Year and it was decorated with many cute zodiac mascots. Thus, we didn't want to miss the opportunity to take photos of them. It was very nicely decorated.

🍊 happy rabbit year 🐰

#yearofrabbit Chinatown is the best place to immerse in the Chinese New Year festive season in Singapore. Happened to pass by Chinatown Point and welcoming us at the front of the mall are the 12 zodiac animals. Being the year of rabbit, the rabbit icon appeared the biggest. Inside the mall, you can find 12 boards describing how the rabbit year will be for each different zodiac animal. Pop inside and have a read, but it's all for reference. A mall near to the Chinatown festive streets. So hop over for more cny moods!

Rabbit Lantern Chinatown Point

#meetsingapore The lantern festival at Chinatown and without fail, there will always be lantern decorations here. If you walk towards Chinatown Point, you will also get to see many rabbits on display too. In fact, these rabbit displays were being featured on the news for the wrong reasons. These rabbit displays were faceless and emotionless and some took it as a bad omen. However, it was meant to be a contest to design the rabbit. So everyone can try to design the rabbit and the winning entry will be drawn on to the rabbit faces. At the same time, there were more lanterns displayed at Lights by the Lake at Jurong Lake Gardens for the same lantern festival. It is a joyous celebration in Singapore but it is not a public holiday here.

Chinatown point arts fair

#meetsingapore Address: 133 New Bridge Rd, Singapore 059413 Nearest MRT: Chinatown MRT There are always some sort of arts exhibition ongoing on the ground level at Chinatown point. When I was there, there was an arts and handicraft bazaar ongoing. Some stall owners are students selling their handicraft works. Their items are very pretty and it might seem to be slightly expensive. I would think that it is a good initiative to support their interests. This shopping mall is located inside a busy area and right at Chinatown MRT. So the influx of shoppers are high and it is also not easy to attract attention when there are many retail shops in this area.

#musteat The Flour Department Address: 531 Upper Cross St, #02-57A, Singapore 050531 A lovely entrepreneur with all her baking creations and her monthly menu is always changing. So it is worth coming back and checking out her new menu. From home based cooking to a shop front in Chinatown Point. I am loving her french pastries with local twist.

Gochi Aso Shokudo at Chinatown

This is my first time trying a “Gochi So Shokudo”that’s not located at Jewel. I still like the environment of the jewel one better. We came here to dine as it was near Clan Hotel and Gochi So Shokudo is famous for their iberico pork. More commonly known as black pork. This time I ordered the shabu shabu with iberico pork. I believe it’s a seasonal special and I think it taste decent for the price. The soup broth is soy milk and taste like a mixture of tonkotsu, I like that it tasted thick and the amount of pork slice given was decent enough for its price. The other dish we ordered was the usual iberico pork collar. I think the shabu shabu and iberico pork is worth the try. However, something I noticed about both outlets now is that there are usually enough seats however you may spend some time waiting.
