Chinatown

February 24, 2010

From Chinese Garden, we rode the MRT bound for Pasir Ris and got off the Outram Park station. From this station we transferred to the other line bound for Punggol. And upon exiting the MRT station this is what we saw: Chinatown!

Since around 75% of Singapore’s population is Chinese, their Chinatown is huge compared with that here in the Philippines. One thing you will notice is that the architecture of the buildings isn’t Chinese. Look for yourself.

Weird huh? A Chinatown with a combination of baroque and Victorian architecture. Built in the style of painted ladies resulted in shophouses and buildings having a variety of colors.

If you plan to buy some pasalubong and souvenirs, I suggest you get some here. There are many shops to choose from and there is much variety. From the perennial keychains to remedies for pimples on scalp, I’m sure you’ll get something.
