SIX CULTURAL CORNERS

-

SULTAN MOSQUE

The gold-tipped Sultan Mosque sits in the centre of the colourful neighbourh­ood known as Kampong Glam, made up of hundreds of picturesqu­e shophouses, many of which trade in Middle Eastern fare or wares. After visiting the mosque, take a stroll down Haji Lane to view the impressive street art and cute knick-knack shops littered along the narrow alley. NATIONAL MUSEUM OF SINGAPORE

Within this colonial building is a cutting-edge, creative world designed to engage visitors. TIONG BAHRU MARKET Located in the Art Deco-era Tiong Bahru precinct, the famous Tiong Bahru Market features arguably some of the best hawker food in Singapore. Go for lunch upstairs, wander the produce market downstairs, and then head over to Tiong Bahru Bakery for a latte and perfectly flaky croissant. TEKKA CENTRE,

LITTLE INDIA

It’s easy to spend hours getting lost in Little India’s maze of bustling, character-filled streets, but don’t miss the Tekka Centre to try unique tropical fruits as well as affordable Indian eats. KEONG SAIK

Once a prominent red light district, Keong Saik has become a place to visit for its award-winning bars and modern eats. Sip cocktails on the rooftop of the übercool Potato Head Singapore. TEMPLE STREET

Despite being in Chinatown, the Indian Sri Mariamman Temple gives the origins to its location’s name, ‘Temple Street’. As Singapore’s oldest Hindu temple, it continues to be a prominent destinatio­n for South Indian immigrants.
