I visited a popular tourist spot in Singapore. Arab Street is a space where you can feel the world of Aladdin! The perfume shops along the street have many lamp- and vase-shaped bottles that you will want to buy. Peranakan Houses is far from the station in Katong, so it is a bit of a hassle to get there. But the colorful houses are lined up and very cute! It is worth visiting even if it is far away. •1-5th photos 📍Arab St Arab Street 👣5 minutes walk from Bugis Station 💰Free ❤️🔥It is recommended to take a photo with the Sultan Mosque in the background for a strong Arab feel! •7-9th photos 📍Peranakan Houses 　 287 Joo Chiat Rd, Singapore 427540 👣10 minutes by bus from Dakota Station It is also possible to walk from Paya Lebar Station or Dakota Station in 20 minutes, but it is hot so it is recommended to take a bus or taxi. 💰Free ❤️🔥We recommend taking photos in front of a house in your favorite color! ⚠️There are houses with actual residents, so please be careful not to disturb them with noise! #SingaporeTrip2024 #100TravelStyles #Singapore #ArabStreet #PeranakanHouse #OverseasTravel

#markets #100waysoftravel #singapore I recently visited Arab Street in Singapore and had an amazing experience. The vibrant neighborhood is a delightful blend of traditional and modern, with its colorful shophouses and lively atmosphere. I enjoyed exploring the various boutiques and shops offering unique textiles, souvenirs, and traditional crafts. The area is also home to some fantastic eateries and cafes where I sampled delicious Middle Eastern cuisine, including flavorful kebabs and aromatic biryanis. The historic Sultan Mosque, with its stunning architecture and golden dome, was a highlight of the visit. Overall, Arab Street provided a rich cultural experience and a great taste of Singapore’s diverse heritage. #holiday #summer #culture #hiddengem

"What's a good souvenir to buy in Singapore?" When I went there for the first time, I had a really hard time! What I would like to recommend this time is "shopping at Arab Street" ♡ Singapore is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, and multi-religious country, and people of various religions live together. Therefore, many items from various cultures are sold. At Arab Street, you can see many "geometric patterns", "plant patterns", and "text patterns", which are called the three major Islamic decorations. They are sold as souvenirs as accessories and ornaments, as shown in the photo. The colorful trivets were very cute 🩷💛🧡💙 Turkish lamps were also sold. The fourth photo is what I bought. The pouch is quite sturdy, so it is useful for everyday use. The thin pouch is convenient for a wallet when traveling abroad! There were also many items at a price that would make a good souvenir for your important friends and family. We handed out sweets at work, but people we have close ties with were happy to receive these little things🫶🏽 There are so many cute little things and shops, it's fun just to look around~🥰 You should definitely buy some souvenirs for yourself in Singapore♡ #shopping #singapore #arabstreet #souvenirs #100travelstyles

Kampong Glam, a vibrant cultural enclave in Singapore, has recently received a touch of artistic glamour courtesy of Singaporean mural artist Yip Yew Chong. His latest masterpiece, adorning the side of a shophouse at 92 Arab Street, was unveiled on August 12th and has quickly become a captivating addition to the neighborhood’s landscape. Many celebrated by taking photos with the artistic transformation of Kampong Glam by Yip Yew Chong’s mural, showcasing how art can breathe new life into historic spaces and inspire creativity in the hearts of both residents and visitors. #singapore

#mysgmemories I first know about this cake shop when I tried their Onde-Onde Cake. They are famous for their fusion cakes. For example, they have Putu Piring, Badak Berendam and more. Basically, any Malay Kueh, they can transform into a cake! And the most important thing is it is delicious and shiok! Located near the Masjid Sultan, you just have to walk a few steps to get to Julie Bakes. My favourite from the shop has to be the Onde-Onde and Serawa Durian. Durian lovers, you will love this! When you walked into the shop, you can smell all the delicious cake and will be spoilt for choices. With so many selection, you wish you can buy everything.

#mysgmemories Coffee and Teh lovers, this is for you! Located at 92 Arab Street, Tarik is right at the step of Arab Street. You might missed it because it’s at one corner. It is so hard to find a good Teh Halia now. Usually it is either they put too much milk or too little ginger. But at Tarik, they put the right proposition. I have tried both of their hot and cold Teh Halia, and I love both. With this hot weather, I opted for their cold one and it is still as shiok when I sipped into it. Other than drinks, they also have epok-epok, karipap and French toast filled with either sardine or cheese sausage. Pair your drink with the sardine French toast for the best combo!

Hidden in plain sight within the heritage neighbourhood of Kampong Gelam, this second-storey sushi shop is a cosy restaurant with a nice view of the bustling shopping streets below! The owners designed it to replicate an airplane theme, which was quite interesting. Food here was delicious too, plus every customer received a complimentary chef’s dessert after their meal. The only drawback is that the portions are fairly small for quite a high cost. My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #mysgmemories #singapore #tripblazers #tripmoments

Amongst the diversity found in Singapore, Arab Street shines as a special gem. I love strolling the alleys in this area - there are murals, small shops selling items you would not find elsewhere in Singapore. The food here is great too, although it is pricier than other local food places since this area caters more to tourists. The 100% Arabica coffee shop here is always busy and packed, but it’s a great place to recharge with some coffee. Arab Street is a wonderful place to chill and snap some awesome photos. #timetotravel #singapore #sg #arabstreet #tripblazers

One way to find the hidden gems in one of Singapore‘s most established heritage neighbourhoods is to sign up for an walking tour here. This used to be an area dedicated to the Malay community back in Singapore‘s developing years and many of the beautiful shophouses have been preserved and repurposed. We learnt about the rich history behind many of the buildings and nature parks, like how one bookstore had been passed down to the third generation in the family! Very artsy place to come immerse yourself in especially if you’re a history buff. #singaporetrip

Singapore is a food paradise. Serving foods from all ethnicity and cultures. At the Arab Street, you get to choose from some of the authentic food. You can have a meal of Turkish kebab beef or chicken, served in a plate of rice or in a wrap form for easier bites. For western food lovers, you may try out the buffalo sandwich burger meal together with the truffle fries. To go along with the foods, a cup of blueberry coconut sorbet would be great to have, under this sunny weather. Be sure to try out the dishes when you are at the Arab Street. #singaporetrip #tripblazers

#PhotogenicSpot Right next to the Sultan Mosque in Singapore, there is a shop with beautiful perfume bottles. The shop is a little way back from the road, but if you look inside, you will see that there are many very cute Egyptian perfume bottles. I bought an Arabian lamp perfume bottle. It was sent to me in a special box, so it was safe and didn't break. In the shop, there were also photos of Shoko Nakagawa's visit. I recommend it as a souvenir from Singapore.

Getting There - Nearest MRT is East- West (Green) Line Bugis Station. Abt 10 Mins walk. Attractions - Arab Street, Sultan Mosque, Kampong Glam and surrounding During my station at Intercontinental Hotel, I became a tourist in my own country and explored the Arab Street, Kampong Glam and the surrounding areas. The area is so amazing and captivating and full of vibrancy. Rich in history and traditionally a congregation area for Muslim immigration from the past, the area retains the culture and traditions up to today. The modern skyscrapers in the background creates an interesting view and reflects the seamless integration of historical and modern buildings . The first sight that catches your attention in the area is the Sultan Mosque, a landmark of the area with a long history. Walking along Arab Street, you will see many shops selling carpets, traditional clothing, textiles, handicraft etc. There are also many restaurants offering different cuisines - Lebanese, Turkish, Malay etc. For tourists and local, Arab Street and Kampong Glam area is a must visit. #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #本地遊 #arabstreet #kampongglam

Address - 28 Aliwal Street, #01-07, Singapore 199918 Ambiance/Facilities - Boasting pastel pink and turquoise walls, large windows, and beautiful pendant lights, Tipo Pasta Bar’s interior was very Instagrammable. The restaurant had a decent amount of seats with ample space, and it was very warm and inviting. However, it got crowded really quickly by the time our food arrived. We didn’t mind it, but it might not be ideal for those looking for a quiet place to dine in. Highlights - Classy Carbonara ($17.60++), Build Your Own Pasta ($9.90++) Avg. Price per Person - SGD30 Rating - 8/10 If you’re a pasta lover like me, you would have probably heard of the highly raved-about Tipo Pasta Bar, a Muslim-owned restaurant that specializes in handmade pasta. Every time I’d plan to visit, they would be fully booked. This time, I decided to be a bit more kiasu and walk in to the store before they opened. But the food 🥘 were really amazing!!! The brioche bread 🥯 was crisp, buttery, and toasted to perfection.But the star ⭐️ of the show was the Classy Carbonara and Creste De Gallo was our pasta of choice here. The dish stars a creamy sauce made from egg yolks, grated Grana Padano, tender smoked duck 🦆 , and a sous vide egg 🥚 . Each bite was filled with pocketfuls of creamy goodness. Overall, I felt that Tipo Pasta Bar did live up to its hype. My only gripe with it would be the small portions and the difficulty to get a reservation. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience and would come back for special occasions with family and friends. With such premium ingredients, this restaurant is definitely worth a shot.And Tipo Pasta Bar is a Muslim-Owned restaurant. #singapore #foodie #westernfood

#2023travelwish #tripblazers Love the newly opened food street at the Arab street. There are few stalls selling a range of foods. From desserts to sandwiches to finger foods. There is always a long queue at the stall selling puff. They have an assortment of puff for you to choose from. They have the black pepper beef puff, lamb puff, sardine puff, and the authentic curry potato puff. Be sure to try out there as the prices are affordable. The puff starts from 2 bucks onwards. My 2023 travel wish is to fly to Malaysia to try out their authentic puff. I especially love the curry puff at the mid valley mall. I do love to shop at the aeon mall to pick up some finger foods and grab them back to the hotel to enjoy.

Fabulous and marvellous exquisite taste of Truffle Fries and Spicy Chicken Pizza 🎉✨😋 Loves the crispiness of the thin crust and the balance of spicy chicken ❗️NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED ~ Great service and the ambience was great 👍 #pizza #trufflelover

45 Arab Street, Singapore 199743 If you are looking to buy back a Persian carpet, then the Arab street is the place to look for. The Arab street is famously known for their fabric and clothing. A walk on the Arab street, I saw at least a few shops that are selling carpets. This shop retails Persian carpet which looks extremely beautiful when I take a look. There were some tourists walking by and asking for the pricing and the quality. I believe that such an expensive Persian carpet will definitely add value to your house, making it look more grand and luxurious. Do consider this place when you are intending to buy a Persian carpet. #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers

#meetsingapore If you are looking for traditional costumes for your school harmony day or any occasions, you can consider coming to Arab street for your needs. There are also many shops specialising in carpets too. I know it might be hard for our homes to be using them because of our weather. However, it is also quite common to see carpets in the homes too. You can also buy tea leaves and textiles too. The shops are housed in the pre-war time shophouses and forms a part of our Singapore history. Now they are preserved as part of the conservation program by URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority. You can also find these shophouses in Chinatown, Tanjong Pagar and some other places.

#meetsingapore Every single eatery here along Arab street looks like they are personalised to look special, unique and has its own character. For example, the sushi airways restaurant, its iconic red designs with stainless steel installations make it look like a spaceship. Then you have the Cappadocia restaurant and its bright blue and white colours makes it look inviting. Over here, there are also regular coffeshops if you prefer local food. Most of the eateries have tables along the road side when the streets are closed to car traffic. This is known as the car-free zone. This will allow more customers into the eateries and cut down on waiting time too.

There are many shop houses located along North Bridge Road starting from Arab Streets where there are many shops selling many colourful textile and clothings, traditional middle Eastern restaurants that are owned by middle Eastern people themselves, the many small little cafes even from dessert cafes to just coffee and the standard western ones. Also, you will also be able to see the beautifully built sultan mosque located in between of muscat Street and South Bridge Road. Although visitors are not allowed to enter the mosque for phototaking, there are several picturesque spot to take photo of the mosque within one of the street. My recommendation is to head towards Jalan Pisang Road which is directly perpendicular to the mosque, giving it an amazing shot. #moreinsg #mosque #kampongglam #malayheritage #heritage #singapore #urbanexplorer #mustvisit #culturalattraction #culturalheritage

Visited one of the heritage sites in Singapore - theArab street. Famous with its Sultan Mosque and full street of Mediterranean food. Other than the Main Street right in front of the mosque, there are several small street around the area, which mainly serves middle eastern cuisine and Turkish dishes. most of the dishes here are halal certified thus every weekend here is packed w our Muslim friend, not easy to find a parking lots though. I tried one of the higher ranking Turkish restaurants - Sultan Turkish Restaurant, ordered their signature grill for 2 pax, the portion is huge, come w chicken skewer and lamb, their lamb is nicely done, strongly recommended. chicken can give a pass. One thing to mention is we don’t know what’s the difference between 2 and 3 pax platter, when we see the bill, it charged us for 3 pax portion. after explained to the staff that we only have 2 person and we ordered other dishes too, it is not possible for us to order a 3 pax portion, the owner understand that it might be their mistake and they are okay to charge us with 2 pax price. just a gentle reminder: do check your bill upon payment just in case you are paying extra.

Nice tender beef with fries and salad. Near the rochor road. Easy to find the place. Halal eater. #deliciousfood

The Arab street in Singapore is really beautiful and a really good place to hang out and have dinner. The most popular attraction here is the mosque🕌 . The street looks really modern and has nice lights during the night. Plenty of restaurants are on this place, from Mexican to Arabian food you can choose everything you like. #givethanks

Arab Street, where you can feel Islamic culture, was a beautiful place with vivid colors and exotic scenery! There are various shops in each alley, so it's fun to look around, but the alleys can get crowded because there are many tourists ㅠㅠ If you walk 1-2 minutes from the main street of Arab Street, you can see Sultan Mosque! Sultan Mosque is characterized by its beautiful golden dome, and it is already famous as a photo spot on SNS✨ 💡 There are things you need to know about Sultan Mosque ✔️ Admission hours Saturday-Thursday 10:00-12:00 / 14:00-16:00 ✔️ When visiting individually, the main prayer hall and the 2nd floor prayer hall are not allowed to be entered ✔️ Flashing and taking pictures are not allowed / Video recording is not allowed #March travel support event #Singapore travel #Overseas travel #Southeast Asia travel
