Overview

If you like to go beyond the usual touristy areas and discover the real authentic side of Singapore that is not often talked about. You have come to the right place.

Find out why Joo Chiat was named Singapore’s coolest street — and one of the coolest streets in the world for 2025 by British media Time Out.

Joo Chiat is an eclectic mix of modern hip eateries, speakeasy bars & lifestyle stores, standing side by side with heritage shops, restaurants & traditional snacks - you won't find anywhere else in Singapore. This is the kind of street you can stroll down, randomly pop into a store and discover something new every time.

Joo Chiat is also historically known as the enclave of Europeans and Peranakans, a unique community born from the marriage of Chinese traders and local Malay women centuries ago. End your tour at the Peranakan Mansion, a private museum housed in a beautifully conserved shophouse, showcasing exquisite Peranakan furniture, nyonya ware &elegant kebaya.
