[2025 Singapore Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for New Bahru (Updated May)

A creative cluster for Singapore at the old Nan Chiau High School. A cluster that holds many cafes, restaurants and home grown brands. There is a playground near the carpark and many cafes are pet-friendly. Dropped by Dearborn Cafe at New Bahru. Famed for its granola, cafe is quite crowded in the afternoon. Dearborn – New Bahru New Bahru #03-04, 46 Kim Yam Road, Singapore 239351 Opening Hours: 9am – 3pm (Mon, Wed – Sun), Closed Tues #cafestory #100waysoftravel #singapore

I spent the morning visiting Singapore's New Bahru Cultural and Creative Park There is art even at the corner of the stairs There are more than 40 local independent brands in Singapore. You will find many brands including Sea Apple, GINLEE, and SOJAO, which are conveying the concepts of environmental protection, innovation, and sustainable development.

Love how @loandbehold___ transformed this old school building into a design-focused F&B, shopping, and art space. It’s very much like PMQ in Hong Kong but more modern! I had a few spots in mind to try, and I managed to visit @dearborn.newbahru and @atipicosingapore (I want to try for years but their first shop is in Sunset Way). I preferred the latter— the space was much comfier, and their cakes were absolutely delicious. Don’t miss out on the St. Honore! However, I didn’t quite understand the high prices, small portions, and limited dining time (only 1 hour) at Dear Born. We felt like we were being watched; the moment we put down our fork and knife, our plates were whisked away. It was pretty stressful. I hope to visit New Bahru again to try Odem, a modern Korean cuisine spot 😋 #foodie #instafood #singapore #newbahru#myhiddengems
