The former Keong Saik has been transformed into a role model for "NewSingapore". In these beautifully decorated colonial-style buildings, you can find some of the deadliest restaurants in Singapore, such as this Asian creative restaurant Meta. There are also bars like PotatoHeadSingapore, which not only have great viewing roofs, but also attract crowds. Alternatively, you can find a boutique hotel with "traditional and funky" service in your room.

Italian Tradition - The Pasta Bar
Located strategically in Keong Saik Road, the Pasta Bar is 100% worth the visit for pasta-lovers. They have each and every one of their pasta shapes handmade daily - so fresh you can taste the love & effort put in!
They are also known for their impeccable service and the staffs will not fail to check-in with each guest on the quality of the food, which adds a personal touch. Located right in the middle of the bar is their cooking station, allowing diners to watch the chefs prepare the dishes, like a well-orchestrated performance.
Tip: Reserve your table in advance as they are fully booked at many times, therefore walk-ins are not recommended.

Christmas Wanderland Market @ Working Capitol
This was such a fun weekend activity! We visited The working capitol that is located about a 8mins walk from Outram MRT. It was a pretty big Christmas Wanderland pop-up market and there was lots of craft shops selling, artisanal candles, chocolate, Crystals and lots of handmade jewellery.
We managed to buy a few items for christmas gifts and they were all pretty affordable as they had a special price for that day! 🤭 We bought some artisanal chocolate from poland and some handmade candle and room mist from the wicked club a singapore grown boutique company.
It was such a great shopping experience 🤩🧡

Cafe in A Work Space
Usually, we will spot a cafe in a mall, along the streets at a shop house or situated on its own as a stand alone shop, but you definitely won't think of a cafe inside a working space. However, this is true for a cafe called the Coexist cafe inside the working capitol (a work space office) at 1 keong saik street. This is pretty unique! When you enter the Cafe, you smell the nice aroma of coffee. I order a hot latte and it was easy and light to drink, and for $6 a cup, it is not too expensive. Food wise I ordered a chilli crab burger and a Har cheong gai burger. They ran out of burger bun and substituted it with bread. Because of that, I felt the burgers weren't that amazing but it was still ok to eat. The cafe is open everyday, so give it a visit if you need some food and coffee.

Burnt Cheesecake @Keong Saik Bakery
If you are one that fancy cheesecake and would like to have suggestions for tea, I would recommend that you check out Keong Saik Bakery.
Other than the standard cheesecake flavours, they have duo flavour cheesecake (see pictures) so if you cannot decide on the flavour, choose this. If you are one who likes to try new things, then check out their seasonal cheesecake.
Beverages wise, they offer the standard latte, hot cocca and also chilled bottled drink.
Delivery and takeaway options are available for those who may want to avoid the crowd and dine in still.

Self-walking tour around Tanjong Pagar area
This is an area full of history. We love the architecture of the historic buildings here. You can start your tour from the Potato Head buidling and walk along Keong Saik Road to explore the iconic row of shop houses. These conserved shophouses have been leased as office/co-working space or F&B. From here, you can walk towards Neil road. The junction of Neil Road and Craig Road used to be the original home of the famous TIGER PALM factory.
Do map out your route before hand as there are many Korean and Japanese restaurants in this area too. You can plan such that the walking tour ends with a Korean lunch at a BBQ restaurant in Tanjong Pagar area.

wine & chef
wine & chef is a perfect place for a gathering with your friends, or a perfect date spot. it is located at Keong saik road, which is relatively near to outram mrt. the restaurant serves Italian food, with an Asian twist to it.
i tried the Scallop Capellini and it is the best dish in my opinion. the pasta came with fresh Hokkaido scallops and they were very soft, perfect. also ordered the lobster pasta and wow, the lobsters were really fresh and nice.
for sides, I ordered a crab cake and Thai style Asari clams. i preferred the clams as the sauce was really good and not too sweet, just nice. the crab cake had a nutty sauce to it. overall my experience was great, the food was really delicious and the interior environment made it comfortable. highly recommended!

Coexist Coffee Co. Keong Saik Road
#singaporetrip
Instead of their locally-inspired direction in Hillview, they’ll be offering an extensive day-to-night menu here, featuring grain bowls, brunch items, craft cocktails and more. 🥂🥙
All the food dishes looked amazing and more exotic than their Hillview menu. The 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝘄𝗹 is bound to be a favourite among the offices around the area, with a ton of delicious premium ingredients to choose from at an affordable price! 🥙The 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗲𝘀 is hands-down a winner, as the smoky flavour goes perfectly with the creamy richness of the two cheeses.
Their cocktails are separated to two different concepts - one is named 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 which uses ingredients found in the kitchen, while the other is called 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 which incorporates coffee across the drinks. ☕️ Our favourite is definitely the 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻, which is light-bodied yet juicy and sweet like grapes! 🍇

Hidden Garden
#travelanywhere
I chanced upon this hidden Garden right at the back alley of the shophouses. There are many varieties of plants there. There is a huge air plant there which catches my attention. There are several seats there that you can sit on to chat with your friends there . It is really a very relaxing place to be at. You will definitely feel relaxed take a break from work and have a period of stay there to cool yourself down from the busy work lifestyle. Be sure to visit there if you can spot the hidden garden at .

Buddha Statues
#travelanywhere
When I walked along the Keong saik road, I discovered this shop that has many Buddha statues around the corridor access walkway. The shop also has many antique looking items that are very nice. They would definitely make the house look much better. You can take some pictures there and share them with your friends and family members . The walk took me about less than an hour to discover the things around the street. The next time you are staying around this area, be sure to notice them.

Mural Art Works
#travelanywhere
The mural art work located at the Keong saik road is definitely a good place to take some Instagrammable pictures there. Each art piece shows the lifestyle of the people from the past. For instance, people from this estate will receive their letters via the mailbox places outside their estates. There are many shophouses that are selling daily essentials . Also road stall holders selling foods to young children in the past. You could hardly find such scenes nowadays such as the road food sellers selling their food .

A walk at Old Road
#travelanywhere
At the Keong saik road, you will be able to find many heritage places. The buildings there are low rise buildings. You can see the beautiful streets that are painted in various vibrant colours. The design of each building is totally different. You would not be able to find two that are identical. Each of them have their own uses. They have turned into bars, restaurants, cafes, placee of worship, beauty parlours , and even offices. Be sure to visit this place to take some Instagrammable pictures.

First COACH Cafe in the world.
It’s a one-of-a-kind experience at COACH’s first bespoken concept store in Asia. The three-storey shophouse in Keong Siak Road is inspired by the house's New York spirit.
Six concepts rooms to explore, featuring Coach's latest collection of bags, ready-to-wear, vintage leather goods even an immersive experience room. But the highlight will be Coach Cafe where guests get to enjoy artisanal coffee and NYC-inspired bites crafted in collaboration with Brawn & Brains.

#wheretogo
This is one of my favourite hood to hang out in Singapore. One thing that’s practically unmissable is the the stark building with red detailing. Keong Saik area is filled with many bars and eateries. I guess that’s because Keong Saik Road used to be a red-light district prior gentrification. There are also many hidden graffiti and wall murals. If you are in the area, look out for those interesting wall murals ! #timetotravel #singapore #rediscoversg #rediscoversingapore #barsingapore #barhopping
